OUR MOST POPULAR QUESTION: What do I need to do to register my child for EXTENDED DAY?
THE ANSWER: YES- this year is different and you DO need to REGISTER & PAY IN ADVANCE!
EXTENDED DAY HOURS
Please note that Extended Day is convenience, not part of our structured day, and therefore does not have a curriculum. We will be outside for the majority of the time weather permitting.
ABSENCES
Please notify our office by phone on the day your child is going to be absent.
ARRIVAL
You will be assigned a specific entry point where you must be able to drop your child off and not need to accompany them into the building. We regret that assisting with emotional transitions will be more difficult for our staff to do responsibly with covid restrictions.
ATTENDANCE
Our week offers a unique cumulative team experience so everyone's attendance for the entire day is requested.
EARLY DISMISSAL - PLEASE READ
Early dismissal is respectfully discouraged - our week is carefully planned and cumulative and leaving early can result in students not having the ability to be prepared to fully participate in the program's presentation if they are not present to learn the songs & dances, rehearse the material, or finish the art projects that their peers have worked on in their absence.
Please refrain from scheduling other activities or medical appointments during the week you are participating with us, or double booking your child and prioritizing another activity's obligations over their commitment to their Kidstock! cast mates.
If you absolutely must dismiss early, please speak with the office in advance to let them know, as well as that morning to remind them - we are unable to offer individual early dismissals after 4:00 pm when we begin preparing for other group dismissals.
This summer once you leave for the day you will not be able to return to the programming.
DISMISSAL CODE
we use your child's BIRTHDATE as their unique DISMISSAL CODE

CHANGE OF CLOTHES
BATHROOM ACCIDENTS
Everyone must be toilet trained and fully independent in the bathroom, however accidents do happen. If you feel your child is prone to having an accident we would appreciate you providing an extra set of clothes in a labeled plastic storage bag and dropping it off to the office on Monday for us to keep on hand for the week. Kidstock! does keep extra clothes in various sizes for such situations, but it is always easier for us to have your child change into their own clothes.
