A. Before School is $45 per month. After School is $80 per month. If you need both programs it is $125 per month. HOWEVER for the 2021-2022 school year we have obtained a grant for the afternoon session. This reduces the after school cost to $40 per month. Students at Hyde Park, Abate, Niagara, Kalfas and Niagara Falls Charter are eligible for additional discounts.
Q. How do I register?
A. Membership and program enrollment is completed online through our parent portal. We are very excited about this because once you enroll in the portal and add your children’s information in it will carry over each year.
