Welcome to Christ the King Kids Club 2012 summer program. We have a wonderful fun filled summer planned for your child. The following should outline all of the important information you and your child need to know to help make our summer a success. Contact information If you need to contact us for any reason during the day you may contact us at 515-285-2888 ext.134 or at Ctkkidsclub@yahoo.com. The easiest way to reach me is by e-mail. I am able to check e-mail using my cell phone, and will be checking it often. Communication is #1 to me. Hours of Operation Christ the King Kids Club is open daily from 6:30 am until 5:45 pm. Please ensure your child is picked up by 5:45 to avoid additional charges. Daily Schedule The following is our daily schedule. If you need to pick up or drop off your child during the times we are out on a fieldtrip or at the swimming pool please notify me or one of your child’s teachers so we can ensure you child is ready when you arrive. 6:30- 8:00 Drop off and Breakfast in the Lunchroom 8:00-10:00 Put things away, play in the gym or out on the playground 10:00- 12:00 Group 1 fieldtrip 10:00-11:30 Group 2 Weekly Camp 11:30-12:15 Group 2 Lunch 12:15-1:00 Group 1 Lunch 1:00-3:00 Group 2 Fieldtrip 1:15- 2:45 Group 1 Weekly Camp **12:00-3:30 On Swimming Days the Weekly camp will be held earlier in the morning, and all kids will go swimming together at the same time. 3:30 -5:45 Snack and Pickup in the Gym 2 Pick up and Drop off We ask that you drop off your child in the School Lunchroom, and pick them up in the Gym. The gym entry door is located on the East end of the school. Please make sure you sign them in and out when they arrive and leave using the sign in sheet located in the Lunchroom and at the Gym doors. To ensure the safety of your child and all of the other children, once you arrive at Kids Club to drop off or pick up your child you assume full responsibilities for your child while you are in our facility. Kids Club then assumes full responsibility once the parent has left our facility. We encourage each and every parent to make sure their child knows that once someone arrives to pick them up that it is time to go, this helps to avoid confusion to the Kids Club staff, as well as unnecessary injuries to other children. Lunch We ask you send a sack lunch with your child every day. We have a microwave and refrigerator for Kids Club use if any of the items need to be refrigerated or prepared. We ask that you please keep microwaved items to no more than 1 per child, this helps to ensure everyone's lunch is ready on time and we are able to stay on our schedule. On the field trip days that are labeled ALL DAY we ask you send a lunch that doesn’t require preparation or refrigeration as we will be outside and do not have access to a microwave or refrigerator. If for some reason you forget a lunch for your child we can prepare one for your child for $5.00 per meal (this fee needs to be paid at the time of drop off). Fees Fees for Summer Kids Club are as follows: Fulltime- $105.00 per week for the entire summer Fulltime includes breakfast in the mornings, snack in the afternoons for all 5 days of the week. Part time- $85.00 per week for the entire summer Part time includes breakfast in the mornings, snack in the afternoons for 3 days per week, they must be the same 3 days each week. If you need your child(ren) to attend on an additional day or two in any given week, it will be an additional $45.00 per day. 3 Drop In- $45.00 per day MUST BE PAID ON THE DAY YOUR CHILD ATTENDS AT DROP OFF Drop in service is offered for any parent needing Kids Club on a random basis. Please call or e-mail at least one week in advance to ensure there is a spot for your child. Late Fee- If your child is picked up after 5:45 there will be a $5.00 per minute charge that your child is in Kids Club. This needs to be paid directly to the Kids Club Staff that are there with your child(ren) at the time you pick them up in cash. *If more than 10 minutes have passed and we haven’t heard from you, and we are not able to reach you by phone we will contact the local police department. **Fulltime and Part time rates are due each week on Monday; whether your child is attending Kids Club or not. Payments All payments will be automatically withdrawn from the account you have provided. These payments will be drawn from your account on Monday’s unless you have made other arrangements with Stephanie. Christ the King Kids Club offers weekly, bimonthly and monthly ACH bank withdrawal. There is a $15.00 per week fee that will be charged to all accounts that are not paid in full each week. Late charges are assessed every Tuesday to accounts that have not been paid in full. If your form of payment is dishonored for any reason you will be charged a $35.00 returned item charge and will also be charged our bank processing fees. ***IF AT ANY TIME YOUR ACCOUNT FALLS MORE THAN TWO WEEKS BEHIND YOUR CHILD WILL BE REMOVED FROM KIDS CLUB UNTIL THE ACCOUNT IS BROUGHT CURRENT. Activities and Activity Fee The activity fee the activity fee this year is $200.00 per child and will include the registration fee, swim pass fee, 2 Kids Club shirts, and admission to all activities with the exception of Adventure land. If you wish to pay this onetime fee we ask that it be paid prior to or on the first day of Summer Kids Club. If you choose not to pay the activity fee prior to the start of Summer Kids Club, we are offering the option to pay an additional $20 weekly over the course of the summer. This will be added to and deducted with your weekly fee. 4 Withdrawal Policy If for any reason you choose to remove your child from our program we require a 2 week written notice. Please understand that our Summer program is a 10 week program and even if you choose to remove your child from the program you will still be charged until the end of the summer program. Vacation In an effort to reduce our weekly fee we have combined the week of vacation into the weekly fee. Therefore we will NOT be offering a week of vacation this summer. Field Trips Every Tuesday and Thursday as well as some Fridays we will be attending field trips that are located away from Christ the King. Please make sure your child is wearing their Kids Club shirt. It helps us to easily identify all of the children. We will be leaving Christ the King at the time specified for your child’s group; please refer to the calendar. Please allow some extra time for us to return, it might be a little later than you expect us. Please keep in mind your child’s safety is our number one concern. On the calendars provided you will see field trips labeled ALL DAY these days we will be leaving between 9:00 and 10:00am and will return around 3:30pm. Please remember we do a lot of walking; so please ensure your child is comfortable in their shoes and clothing. If you have memberships to some of the businesses that we will be visiting they will not allow us to use them on our field trips. Also, I always welcome Parents, Grandparents or other family members to attend any or all of our field trips with us. Please make arrangements with Stephanie in advance so I can add them to the count. Swimming We ask that each child bring one bottle of SPF 50 sunscreen, and one face stick that we will put together for everyone’s use. On swimming days we ask you send a bathing suit, towel, and any safety device that your child might need or want while in the pool. We attend NAHAS swimming pool located on Porter Ave. right next to the South Des Moines Public Library. We will be leaving around 12:00pm and will return around 3:30pm. We apply sunscreen to every child before we leave our facility, and again at the pool check time which is usually around 2:00pm. If you would like it to be applied more frequently arrangements can be made with Stephanie or one of your child’s teachers, considering some children are more sensitive to the sun than others. If you would like to pick up your child at the pool please make arrangements with Stephanie or one of your child’s teachers so we can have them ready when you arrive. 5 Cell Phones Christ the King Kids Club holds the same policy on cell phones as Christ the King School. If your child is caught with or using their cell phone while in Kids Club the phone will be taken from your child. The parent will be required to get the phone from your child’s teacher upon picking them up. If your child is caught a second time the phone will be kept by Christ the King Kids Club until the end of the summer. Discipline If a child for any reason is not following the rules established by Christ the King Kids Club, a kids club staff member will discipline your child in a manner that they feel is appropriate for your child. Each time your child is placed in a time out or disciplined a note will be sent home with your child explaining why he or she was disciplined; if the behavior continues or becomes excessive, abusive, disrespectful, disruptive etc. Stephanie will hold a meeting with the child’s parents to establish a plan of action for the child. If for some reason you feel that your child is being treated unfairly or you are not happy with the service you receive from Kids Club, please follow the following grievance procedure: First contact the Director Stephanie Babic, Second point of contact is Christ The King Business Manager Chris Aldinger, Third Carol Weyer Christ The King Parish Council Chair person, Finally contact Monsignor Frank Bognanno. Illnesses Christ the King Kids Club ask if your child has a communicable disease or illness that you please keep your child home; this includes but is not limited to strep throat, influenza, head lice, impetigo, etc. If your child is running a fever of 100.0 or greater we ask that you keep the child home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever. If you have any questions on when your child should return please feel free to contact me at 515-285-2888 ext 134. Items and Toys brought from Home We do allow children to bring DS’s, Gameboys, MP3 players, IPods, Leapsters, and other items they would like to have to play with. Please remember that Christ the King Kids Club will not be held responsible for lost, broken, or stolen toys and games. Heeley’s with the wheels in them will NOT be allowed in Kids Club due to the safety of the children. Your child may wear Heeley shoes as long as the wheels are not in them and are left at home. 6 Bullying and Harassment Policy Christ the King Kids Club has a zero tolerance bullying and harassment policy. If any type of bullying or harassment is observed a teacher will hold a conference with the child and child’s parent. If bullying or harassment is observed a second time the child will be suspended from Christ the King Kids Club for a period of 3 days, or removed from Kids Club permanently. Medication Policy If for any reason you child is on medication and has not taken the prescribed dosage for that day they will not be allowed to attend Kids Club until the prescribed dosage has been administered. Clothing/Shoes All children may wear any type of clothing that they are comfortable in. We do ask that you please do NOT allow your child to wear flip flops, or spaghetti string tank tops. The only time flip flops we will allow the children to wear flip flops is when they are walking to and from the swimming pool. For girls: we do also ask that you please wear appropriate length dresses or skirts; and shorts under them if they do not have them built in. 7 Please fill out the following forms and return to Stephanie in Kids Club by March 30th, 2012 8 Christ the King Kids Club Summer 2012 Registration Childs Name:________________________ Grade Entering:_____ Shirt Size:_____ Childs Name:________________________ Grade Entering:_____ Shirt Size:_____ Childs Name:________________________ Grade Entering:_____ Shirt Size:_____ Home Address:_______________________________________ Parents E-mail Address:________________________________ Home Phone Number:_________________________________ Parent Information Parent Name:__________________________ Parent Name:____________________________ Parent Place of Work:____________________ Parent Place of Work:______________________ Parent Work Number:____________________ Parent Work Number:_____________________ Parent Cell Number:_____________________ Parent Cell Number:_____________________ Emergency Contacts Name:_______________________________ Phone Number:____________________________ Name:_______________________________ Phone Number:____________________________ Name:_______________________________ Phone Number:____________________________ Authorized Persons to pick up child Name:_____________________________ Relationship:________________________________ Name:_____________________________ Relationship:________________________________ Name:_____________________________ Relationship:________________________________ Name:_____________________________ Relationship:________________________________ 9 Swimming Pool Authorization I____________________________ authorize Christ the King Kids Club to take my child______________________ to NAHAS aquatic center on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays beginning June 4th through August 10th 2012.
