How to Register: A Step-By-Step Guide

If you have previously used the Arux Software System to register your child for either Preschool, Prime Time Care, or Summer Care, please do not create a new account. Please use the prior email address associated with the original account to proceed with registration.

New Customers

If you need to change the default language of the site you may click the black globe icon next to the sign-in button.

Click the "Sign In" button at the top right of the page.

Please select the "Create One Now" link at the bottom of the Sign-In box.

Add a good email address to use for your account. Please keep in mind that all correspondence will be sent to this email address.

Once you have created a password, you will want to add your information (not your child's) including your name, contact information, and address.

Adding your Child/Children to your Account

Once you log in to your account, you will be taken to your dashboard. From there, you will want to click the "Enroll in Summer Care" button on the bottom left side of your dashboard (you may need to scroll down).

You will be prompted to add your child on this step. Please note that all of the information in this section pertains to your child.

Under the "Relation" section, please note this is how the student is related to you. For example, are they your child, grandchild, foster child, etc.?

If you share custody of your child, please select "Yes" when answering if you live in the same household.

Please enter their name as it appears on their birth certificate.

When entering their grade, please enter the grade they will be in for the Fall of 2026 school year, and select "Fall of 2026" from the dropdown.

If your child has special needs, please enter that information into the "Special Needs" box. If your child does not have special needs, leave this box blank. Please note, you do not need to list allergies here as there is a separate section for that information later.

The helpful information box is optional. You do not need to fill it out if you do not want to.

Once all of this information is added, you will be asked to verify the information that you entered. If you need to change anything, you may click "Edit Child Information" in order to do so. If no changes are necessary, you can add a another child here, or if you do not need to, you may move on to the registration process by clicking on the "Looks Good! Start Registering." button.

Emergency Contacts Tab

We require that you have at least three emergency contacts listed on file for your child who can be contacted in the event of an emergency. Emergency contacts must be high school age or older. Please do not list the child that you're enrolling as an emergency contact. Finally, your emergency contact is not required to live locally, but they should be available to reach in the event of an emergency.

In the event of a split-parents situation, unless there is a court order preventing the parent from picking up, all parents should be listed. The parent can be authorized as an emergency contact and/or pick up. If the parent is not allowed to pick up but can be contacted for emergencies, please toggle the drop-off/pick-up to "no."

If there is a custody concern, you will need to email us documentation to put keep on file.

When entering the emergency contact information, you will notice that the wording of the questions is a little unclear. The first question asks for the emergency contact’s relationship to the person completing the form (you), while the second question asks for the emergency contact’s relationship to the child.

Please note that you are not required to add the birth date or email address for your emergency contacts if you do not wish to. Address and phone number are the only required items.

Once you have completed all contact information, click "Create Emergency Contact" and continue on until you've added all three. 

Location

You will next be prompted to select which school you would like your child to attend for the summer. 

For the 2026 Summer Program, we will be located at Commerce Elementary, Walled Lake Elementary, and Wixom Elementary.

Please note that the school you choose is the school your child will attend or be waitlisted for. Once you submit your registration, you will not be able to move to another location, so please make sure this choice works for you.

Scheduling Your Days

We highly encourage you to select all days you know you will need for the summer.

Please select your days for Summer Care attendance on this step. Days fill up on a first come, first served basis and some days fill up much faster than others. If you register without selecting all of the days that you may need, it is possible that they may not be available to add at a later time due to reaching capacity. Each year, we have an extensive waitlist, so if you know that your child will not be attending, please let us know so we can make room for other families who need care.

If you select days now, please know you can cancel care for that day up until schedules are due, however, adding will only be available if there is space for that day

You will need to schedule both Daily and Field Trip Days (if you plan for your child to attend). Field trips days will be listed under the "Field Trip Days" calendar and all normal days are listed as "Daily Schedule - Summer" Calendar. 

We are closed on June 19th (Juneteenth), July 3rd - July 6th (Observance of July 4th), and August 4th (voting at the schools). These days will not be available to schedule.

 Questions

All questions with an asterisk must be answered. If there is missing information, we will reach out to you to obtain it. Please answer the questions as accurately and with as much information as possible.

Once you complete all of the questions, please continue on.

Finance Information

You are required to add a payment method for the registration process. 

Upon acceptance, the Registration Fee will be due ($50 for a single child or $75 for a family of two or more children). Please note that you will not be charged until your registration has been accepted.

To add a payment method, please click on the "Add Saved Payment Method" button. You can add either a Debit Card, Credit Card, a Checking Account, or a Savings Account number for payment.

Please make sure you have funds in your account that are available to charge. If we are unable to collect the registration fee, your contract will not be processed.

Approval Process

Once we have received your registration, we will review it and, if there are any issues or questions, we will reach out to you. We process registrations in the order that they are received. Once your contract is approved, you will receive an email stating so. Please note that your student is not allowed to attend until your registration shows as approved.

If we are unable to approve your registration due to space, you will be notified and your child will be placed on a waitlist for the school that you registered at. If space should become available, we will reach out to you via email.

Once your contract has been approved, you will be able to go into your account and change your schedule. You must change your schedule by the Schedule Change Due Date each month. Please refer to our "Calendars" section on our website to see those dates.

Please note that once you receive your invoice, you will no longer be able to make schedule changes.
