4K FAQ’s

Question: Does my child get charged for attending 4K at a childcare site? How does that work if s/he goes to childcare there but also attends 4k?

Answer:

•  There is no charge for the 2 hours and 40 minutes of 4K at any site. The only charge is for the amount of time your child stays for child care.

•  If your child stays for childcare, you pay the center rate. 

•  We do have a $3 activity fee that is charged all children for construction paper. That fee is collected at the beginning of the school year.

Answer:

•  2 hours and 40 minutes
•  5 days a week

Answer:

•  You must fill out a 4K registration packet and list Pier as your choice and submit it to the 4K coordinator.
