WGC’S AFTERSCHOOL CARE PROGRAM 

We are now accepting registrations for the FALL 2010 - 2011 SCHOOL YEAR.

Information about our Afterschool Care Program is detailed below. Please call us at 432-2609 or stop by the gym to register. We can accept registrations over the phone with a credit card (we accept Visa/MC), but all forms must be completely filled out prior to your child starting our program.

Please do not wait to register, as spaces will fill quickly! For the fall, we have only a certain number of spots on our bus, so please register your child as soon as possible to ensure that they will have a spot.

As a reminder, we pick up from the following schools:  Camden Elementary, Camden Middle School, Jackson Elementary, The Montessori School of Camden, Wateree Elementary & Doby's Mill Elementary. Students from Pine Tree Hill Elementary receive busing to our facility from the Kershaw County School District. Please call us for more information.

WGC's Afterschool Care Program is open to all school children K5 - 7th grade. Students in our Program will receive structured homework assistance, free time in centers (arts & crafts, reading, games), supervised gym time, and a healthy snack each day. On holidays and during our summer program, we offer fun, supervised field trips and activities. For your convenience, we have ongoing enrollment in our Program. Need transportation from school to the gym? Call us - we pick-up from local schools (space available). Students enrolled at PINE TREE HILL ELEMENTARY receive school district busing to our facility.

Take a moment to compare our program to other afterschool programs, and you will see that we can't be beat - come on in and check us out!

        Our program is year-round for your convenience!

* Weekly Tuition is $75/child for drop-ins. Please note that there is no sibling discount for drop-ins, and that we do not provide bus transportation for drop-ins.

AFTERSCHOOL CARE PROGRAM POLICIES:

* Absences/Bus Riding: You must notify us by 1:30 p.m. if your child will not, for any reason, be attending Afterschool Care on a given day. Please remember that we are driving our bus to pick-up your child - if they will not be at school, we do not want to waste valuable pick-up time by either driving to the school (some schools we pick up from only have one child on the bus) or by trying to locate your child. Please note that, with respect to absences from the program, each child is allowed one "free" week off per year - absences from school can count towards that week, as can vacation. The free week will be applied to all students in May, prior to summer enrollment. This week may not be applied towards notice for dropping from the program - it is for currently enrolled students only. If a child is seriously ill, however, please speak with the Owner regarding a billing adjustment. A doctor's note may be required for students who have been absent for more than 3 days.

NEW POLICY:  A charge of $10 will be applied to your account if you do not call your child in absent from bus pick-up! Please avoid this charge by calling the gym prior to 1:30 to inform us that your child will not be on the bus. *this applies to bus riders only*.

Payment Policy: Each family must enroll in and pay by automatic draft by enrolling at the gym. Tuition is drafted on or about the 1st of each month. As a reminder, we base tuition on the number of Mondays in a given month. We do not discount in the event of the occassional illness or vacation day. You do not get charged for the days the gym is closed. If we offer camps and you wish to sign your child up, you would simply pay for the camp.

*Food Allergy Alert:  Please note that we are a peanut-free facility! Absolutely no nuts, peanuts, or peanut products are permitted in the gym. When packing a lunch, please remember this very important policy, as we have children enrolled with life-threatening peanut allergies. THANK YOU.

*Pick-Up Policy:  Please provide a list of who may pick-up your child from the program. ID's will be checked.

Afterschool Care Staff:

Our Afterschool Care Program and Summer Camp Program is directed by Tiffany Vinkler and Jennifer Piasecki, gym owner. Other members of our staff include: Blake, Stephanie, Ms. Lenae, &  Melissa. Our Afterschool Care Staff is highly trained and are either parents themselves, or possess training and/or degrees in early childhood education and related programs. Our managers are CPR certified.

Your child's safety and well-being are our Number One priority! Please do not hesitate to call upon any of our staff regarding questions about our Program!

Be sure to call prior to registering to make sure we have room on the WGC bus for your child.  For your child's safety, only members of our Afterschool Care staff drive the bus - no one under the age of 21 is permitted to drive the bus, and all drivers have safe, clean driving records.       

*Please note that there is always the chance of a delay when picking your child up from school and bringing them to the facility - traffic, children not waiting at bus pick-up point, etc. We do our best to minimize all delays and ask that you *call us* if your child will not be on the bus on a certain day so that we do not wait unnecessarily for them.
