WHAT/WHO: Kid's W.O.R.L.D. is a before and/or after-school group-recreation focused program for children enrolled in grades K -5. All children must be able to follow verbal directions and interact appropriately in a group environment. Program participants must be able to feed and toilet themselves (includes being able to identify need, proper use of facilities, dresses self, etc. No diapers/"pull-up" type undergarments are acceptable). Soiled garments require the child be picked up. A 3rd incident requires a meeting with program staff to determine if/when a participant may return.

We strive to serve children with disabilities where reasonable accommodations can be made. If you have a child who requires an ADA accommodation, please contact the OYCC to receive a "Request for Accommodation Packet" and submit prior to enrollment.

PROGRAM TERMS & CONDITIONS

FEE PAYMENT - After enrollment, weekly participation fees are due by 12:00 NOON the first day of attendance of that week.

Payments received after 12 NOON incur a $6 late fee & payments received after 1:45 pm incur a $12 late fee. No payment accepted at program sites. Payments can be accepted on-line, by phone, or in person at the Cove, the OYCC or the EBC.

MEDICATIONS - Medications are not allowed on site, except for asthma inhalers and Epi-pens. These must be left with staff, and participant must self-dose.

REFUNDS/CREDITS - Notification must be received before 12 Noon Monday to receive a credit/refund for a child not attending that week. A 15% administrative fee applies to refunds. No refunds/credits will be given for absences, sickness, or time missed during the current week of participation.

EARLY DROP & LATE PICK-UP - NO drop-offs before 6:40 a.m. for the before-school program. The PM Program ends at 5:45 p.m., late pick-ups will be charged $6 for every 15 minutes (5:46-6:00= $6, 6:01-6:15 = $12, etc). All fees are per child. OFFICIAL TIME IS KEPT ON SITE. Failure to pay the weekly or other fees assessed may result in the child being withheld from the program. Multiple late pick-ups may result in suspension/removal from the program. Please call the OYCC at 458-7922 to let staff know if you will be late, or to leave any message for the program sites.

SIGN-IN/OUT - Daily attendance is tracked for program purposes; we ask that all participants be signed-in (AM)/signed-out (PM) daily by someone on the program registration form. We cannot physically restrain participants who choose to leave the program of their own volition.

BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT-Staff strive to deal with Children in a fair and appropriate manner. Misbehavior is redirected. We promote a "hands-off" discipline approach, so all program participants must be able to respond to verbal direction from staff. Emphasis is placed upon each child taking responsibility for his/her own behavior. Participants do not have the right to interrupt the activity of, or endanger, other children. If a child is ever having trouble with another participant, they should notify a staff member for help. We are dependent upon parental support in helping us reinforce appropriate behavior. Behavioral problems will be generally approached in the following progressive manner:

Verbal Warning/Redirection ● Time Out/Loss of Privileges ● Short Term Suspension

If problems persist, the child may be placed on a long term suspension, or be removed from the program. There is no refund/credit if a participant misses time due to disciplinary measures. Extreme behaviors that put a child, or those around them in danger, may accelerate this process. These include, but are not limited to:

Leaving the Program Inappropriately * Throwing Objects * Physical Attacks/Contact * Inappropriate Language * Disrespect to Staff

RECEIPTS/TAX ID# - A receipt will be issued for each program payment you make. Please ask for your receipt and retain it for your records. If needed, the City of Sierra Vista Tax Identification Number is 86-6005496

All policies subject to change. FOR ANY PROGRAM NEEDS, PLEASE CALL THE OYCC #458-7922.
