Please include your child’s name, the person who will pick up your child, and contact information.

Please also email the student's classroom teacher and Jessie Salvador (jsalvador@ecfs.org) and let them know that they will be attending after school. 

Financial Aid

Families utilizing their apportioned financial aid will not initially see the program cost reflect the financial aid contribution upon enrollment. Following enrollment and the $25.00 deposit, the School will apply financial aid to the account. After financial aid is applied, the remaining balance will be due at 50% by Friday 8/16 with total balance paid by Friday 9/20. 

Financial aid is not available for the After School Drop-In Program

Refunds and Cancellations

We understand that circumstances may change, and sometimes adjustments are needed. If you request a refund after your child's first session, the School will provide a 100% refund, deducting only the cost of that initial session less the $25.00 deposit. Following the second session, families are eligible for a 50% refund. However, please note that refunds are not available after the third session.

Should you need to request a refund, please reach out to Sheyla Ortiz Peña. There are no refunds for snow days or other emergency closures.
