Invoicing

Invoices are generated each Wednesday for the upcoming service week via the email address listed on your child’s registration. Payment on your account is due by Monday of each week with a late fee assessed on Tuesday (if the account balance is not paid in full). Valley Kids is fee-based, with weekly tuition covering all operating costs, including field trips and special activities. Therefore, the program relies on prompt payments from parents in order to operate the program. Tuition fees occur weekly regardless of attendance to the program. The enrolling parent is financially responsible for weekly tuition fees and ensuring they are paid on time. If for any reason you withdraw from Valley Kids and later need to utilize the program, re-registration is required.

Nutrition and Food

Milk and juice alongside breakfast and snacks are included for all participants. As a part of our Valley Kids program, we strive to offer our students healthy snack options. If you send food items with your child, they must be eaten during the scheduled time for breakfast or snack. If your child has special dietary needs, this must be listed in your enrollment form. If you are concerned with the breakfast and snack options we offer, it will be the parent's responsibility to provide breakfast and snacks daily. A complete list of food offered can be provided upon request.
