HOW much does Reach Out cost?

The charge for each event (4 hours) is $5.00 per child.  It is very important for caregivers to return on time to pick up children. Those who return late will be charged $5.00 every 15 minutes after the designated end time, which must be paid to the staff person who remained after hours.

Families must reserve a space for each Reach Out opportunity. Space is limited to 15 children.

 Please call Rita at 352-1304 to make your reservations.

WHAT if my child has difficulty with separation or behaviors?

Staff will provide supportive, respectful care. They will follow your direction as to best approaches to soothe your child and will be clear about your instructions as to when and  if to contact you. Staff has the authority to ask that any child be removed if behavior is unacceptable and disruptive.
