The A+ Program is open Monday through Friday 8a.m. - 5 p.m. The A+ Program will be closed on various days throughout the year in honor of holidays, as well as for staff trainings and building maintenance.

Sign-In/Sign-Out
California law requires a Sign-In/Sign-Out record. We become responsible when you sign your child in, and you resume responsibility when you sign your child out. (The person signing your child in or out must be 18 years of age or older and be listed on the approved list of adults designated to pick up your child.) Chronic indifference to proper sign-in and sign-out procedures jeopardizes your child's continued enrollment. After signing out, your child should remain with you. The staff will sign in students that arrive to the facility by bus or are picked up by an A+ Program staff member.

Release of Child
I understand that my child will be released only to myself, a legal guardian, the other parent (except where prohibited by court order), and to those persons whom I have designated. I understand that I must notify A+ if someone other than those designated will be picking my child up. That person will be required to show a picture ID.

Families are billed for five days a week childcare. This includes any days the child is absent.
Field Trips: There is a 24 hr cancellation fee for all field trips. Any no show or cancellations within 24 hrs of the field trip will be billed.
