No, if a student is not at school, regardless of the reason, the student may not attend the program.

 All tuition payments are made through My School Bucks which is integrated into the HUBBE system. Yes, MSB does take credit cards, but there is an additional service fee. That service fee is assessed collected by MSB, not PUDS.

The limit on the number of days a student can miss are set by the school district. You will be disenrolled from the district in the event of an extended absence. You must maintain enrollment in PUSD in order to participate in Kids Club. 

Yes, we do offer the ability to put your enrollment on "hold" for the summer. This year the hold fee was $400.

Our current monthly fees are:

TK/Kindergarten    $650

1st - 5th Grade     $550

Part Time Tk/Kinder $400

 ** Fees are subject to change** 

There is also a one time registration fee of $150 per child which is non-refundable.

We offer a part time option for those children in TK or Kindergarten.  Part time children may attend between 7:00am - 2:45 or approximately 15 minutes before the end of the school day.   Part time children only attend on school days.  If you need care on any school closure day, such as a Teacher Development Day or during winter/spring break,  you can make that request and we will do our best to accommodate you on a space available basis.   Additional per diem child care rates will apply.

Spots from one Kids Club site do not carry over or transfer to another site. If the Kids Club at the new school has openings, we will do our best to facilitate the transfer. However, if the Kids Club at the new school is at full capacity, your child may need to be placed on the waiting list until a spot becomes available.

Absolutely! We are excited to announce our Summer Camp Programs, which are available to all students enrolled in PUSD. Detailed information about program dates and pricing will be released in late Spring. It's important to note that participation in Kids Club during the Summer does not extend into the school year; it's a separate program.

When a family chooses to disenroll from the program, they are required to notify the program in writing at least 2 weeks in advance of the last day of attendance. Failure to give two weeks written notice will result in a bill in the amount of one-half of the monthly fees if applicable for a fee paying family.

No, we do not provide sibling discounts.  Our fees are competitive within the market and are considered quite reasonable. 

During the school year, the program operates from 7:00am - 6:00 pm.  On holidays and school breaks, program hours are 8:00am - 5:00 pm.  The program closes on scheduled holidays in accordance with the district operating calendar.   A schedule of closed dates is provided to the families each year via email and postings at the site.

The ratio for TK/Kindergarten is 1:10, while for 1st to 6th grade students, it is 1:20 per the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program ratio requirements. However, we more typically maintain a 1:15 or 1:17 ratio for our 1st -6th graders.  All our sites maintain sufficient staffing levels, with ratios carefully planned in advance. Our staff members all meet the necessary child development qualifications and regularly participate in professional development programs focused on child development.

We follow the Quality Standards for Expanded Learning in California.  While specific activities and projects may differ across Kids Club locations, all sites design an enrichment curriculum that is inclusive for all.   Daily activities encompass a wide range, such as arts and crafts, physical education, STEM projects, cooking, and board games, among others. Homework time is integrated into the schedule, while screen time is limited to homework-related tasks.

Our PUSD Expanded Learning Handbook is a valuable resource that contains all our policies and procedures.
