Kids Connection credits are not available for partial days of attendance. Children enrolled in Summer School are expected to attend scheduled field trips or be picked up at the conclusion of the Summer School day. Kids Connection is unable to provide care after Summer School on field trip days.
Field trip schedules will not be released until after summer registration is closed. We understand that field trips are a favorite activity and that many families would prefer to align their schedules to our field trip days. However, our program’s primary focus is to provide consistent child care for working families. We are often not able to confirm trip details with community vendors in advance of registration. Sites are also not able to accommodate a large swing in enrollment numbers between non-trip days and field trip days. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
