In order to run a full-day or half-day Prime Time Care program, we must have a minimum number of children enrolled. If that number is not met, the program for that day, session, or the program as a whole may be cancelled. Families will receive an email notification in advance if a cancellation occurs. We appreciate your understanding and encourage early registration to help ensure programming can run as planned.

Calendars

At the time of registration, it is required to select August and September dates, however, it is highly encouraged that you select all of your necessary dates for the entire school year to ensure that we have enough space for your child and that we are in ratio with the state mandated licensing guidelines.

Please see the step by step instructions on how to add days to your calendar.  

You are able to edit your calendar up until invoices go out. After that, you will be responsible for payment for any other days selected.

Acceptance Policy

We do our best to accommodate all families, but enrollment is based on availability and is not guaranteed. Please note that availability may be limited on specific days, and we will do our best to match your preferred schedule.

We highly encourage you to select all of your days for the school year in advance to ensure that we have enough space for your child.

In the event that there is not a space available, we will place you on a waitlist and notify you as soon as we have an opening.

All children attending Prime Time Care must be fully toilet trained.

This means children are able to:

• Recognize when they need to use the restroom
• Communicate their need to go
• Manage their clothing independently
• Use the toilet and clean themselves without assistance 

Due to licensing and liability regulations, staff are not permitted to change diapers or clean children after accidents. While we can offer verbal guidance and encouragement, we are unable to provide physical assistance. If a toileting accident occurs, a parent or guardian may be contacted to come and assist or pick up the child if necessary.

Staff-to-Child Ratios

We are a state-licensed daycare, which means we follow strict guidelines for safety, curriculum, and supervision. One of these requirements is maintaining proper staff-to-child ratios, ensuring that your child receives the best care and attention. Please keep this in mind if you are waitlisted; it is not because we don’t want your child in our program, but simply because we have to follow state rules and are unable to take on more children based on the number of staff members we have.

Morning Sessions are available Monday through Friday and are open from 6:30am (7:00AM at the ECC) until school starts.

Afternoon Sessions are available Monday through Friday and are open from dismissal until 6:00pm (5:30PM at the ECC).

Snack

We do not provide snacks for Prime Time Care. We encourage you to pack a snack for your child if they are attending afternoon care. Half day- You will need to provide a lunch. On occasion, your site supervisor may choose to provide half day lunch and/or special snacks.

Medication

If your child will need prescribed medication (i.e. inhaler, Epi-Pen, etc.), the district's Authorization of Medication form must be signed by your doctor and provided to your site Supervisor. If your child's medication is stored in the office at your child's home school, we will need a copy of a current Authorization Form and provided to your site Supervisor on your child's first day of Prime Time Care. If you need a new form or your current form is expired, please visit the WLCSD Health & Immunization Information Webpage to print and complete a new Authorization Form. Prescription medication must be in a container labeled by the pharmacist or prescriber.

Per State Licensing, we reserve the right to refuse care for improper documentation or lack of medication.

Split Payments/Households

If the following pertains to you, please contact terriszymanski@wlcsd.org and DeborahOlsen@wlcsd.org.

We are pleased to announce that we now have the ability to accommodate split families.* Each parent will need to create their own contract for the same child(ren) and choose dates according to their own schedule. Our goal is to make the registration process as smooth and flexible as possible. Please note that each contract is authorized to add emergency contacts. This means that all emergency contacts that are added on each account are authorized to be contacted regardless of the parent or guardian they are with.

*Split Families are defined as parents or guardians not residing at the same address.

Refunds

No refunds will be provided after an invoice has been sent for the billing period. This applies to both Regular and Half days. To see when invoices will be sent, please visit our Calendars Webpage.
