Fee Payments/Consecutive Absences
Fees are due for children enrolled whether your child attends the center or not. GACAPS recipients are responsible for payment if GACAPS will not cover. If the child is absent for two consecutive weeks, the child will be considered withdrawn from the program.

Family vacations, holidays, absences due to illnesses, weather related closings and any other absences are expected to be paid for under the normal payment policy.

Student Expectations
Per APEC Parent Handbook Policy 5 and Policy 25.12, APEC requires that parents share all information regarding children relative to their care ie Individualized Education Plans (IEP's), 504 Plans, Babies Can't Wait data, toileting assistance for school age children, non-verbal, etc. Absent of the aforementioned, there are some behaviors that pose a safety hazard to the child and/or other children in our program. Those behaviors include but are not limited to non-compliance (refusal to follow instructions or stop designated behavior), running from leaders, and combative outbursts towards leaders or other students. These behaviors and any behavior that potentially endangers safety, can result in immediate dismissal from the program or required enrollment in our Exceptional and/or Reduced Ratio Programs if available. Children requiring small group or individualized instruction during the school day may require the same care during after school and may be subject to relevant fees associated with providing that care.
