To complete enrollment, you must purchase a membership AND a program registration. You can check the quantity of spots left for before and after school registrations prior to purchasing a membership by clicking on the "Registrations" tab and selecting your Club program. Refunds will not be issued if you purchase a membership and then realize program registration is full.

New this year, you can now join a waitlist after purchasing a membership for the program registration you would like for your child to attend. But please note that joining the waitlist, does not guarantee your enrollment.

COST

Our program continues to be one of the most cost-effective childcare options in the state, but unfortunately, the organization's overall cost has doubled. Due to funding cuts from our grantors and inflation, we have had to make some updates to our fee structure. Please click on the link below to view our 3-year fee adjustment structure.

No refunds or transfers allowed under any circumstances.

50% Scholarships are available for program registration monthly fees based on TANF (Temporary Assitance for Needy Families) HHS Poverty Guidelines. Please see the FAQ for steps to apply. If you qualify for state insurance (Aetna, United Health, or Sunflower), you can complete an insurance voucher to recieve $50 off your membership fees by uploading the insurance voucher to the "Documents & Forms" tab and selecting "Post to Household" to complete your membership. Membership application must be completed along with the voucher in order to be processed. Refunds will not be provided if you pay and submit an insurance voucher.

how do i enroll?

Login to your Parent Portal, and select the "Memberships" tab. Select the Club location and follow the steps to purchase a membership. If you would like to use an insurance voucher, post the balance to your household and submit the insurance voucher documentation under the "Documents & Forms" tab. As a reminder, insurance vouchers can only be used for one program per year.
If you would like to apply for financial aid for the monthly program registration payments, please follow the steps below prior to completing your program registration.
After completing your membership purchase, click on the "Registrations" tab and select the program(s) that you would like your child to attend. For those sites offering both a before school and after school program, you will need to enroll your Club member in both program registrations.

when will memberships be available to purchase? when will registrations be available to purchase?

Both the membership and program registrations will become available at the same time on July 24th at 11:00a.m.. You must purchase a membership prior to purchasing a program registration though.

how do i check the waitlist?

We encourage everyone to check the waitlist prior to purchasing a membership. But you will not be able to join the waitlist unless you have a purchased membership. To check the waitlist, login to your parent portal and select the "Registrations" tab. From there you can locate the program you would like to enroll in to see how many spots are available or if there is a waitlist.

where can i learn more about billing?

Please head to the "Parent Overview" tab on our website to view our Parent Handbook. Within the handbook, there are more details about billing schedules and payment plans.

What programs get run during the School year?

We run a variety of different programs- some of which include Power Hour which focuses on academic success and homework help. In addition we run other academic focused programs in STEM, reading, and other targeted activities. We also run our Triple Play program, which focuses on providing kids with the tools to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Will there be a parent orientation and what if I am able to unattend?

Yes, there will be a required parent orientation for each Club location. If you are unable to attend, a makeup session will be scheduled with the Unit Director for your site before your child(ren) is able to attend.

Will fees be prorated?

No. In order to have the flexibility of a monthly billing cycle rather than pay in full up front, our system does not allow for a prorated fee. The monthly fee will be charged between the 1st and 5th of each month. Please see "Billing" section in the Parent Handbook for more information.

is there a multi-kid discount?

Unfortunately there is not any discounts for multiple children in the familiy, but we do recommend applying for the financial aid.

i only need care for a couple of months? can i only enroll in these months?

The system requires you to enroll in the entire school year, but you are welcome to withdraw at any point by providing a two-week notice to admin@bgcsck.org stating the reason for withdrawal and the final date the child(ren) will attend (see "Withdrawal Policy in the Parent Handbook). If you would like to then re-enroll in the programs, your spot will not be guaranteed.
