The Orchard Program Description

Adding Days. An additional fee will be charged when your child attends The Orchard for more days than is paid for in the annual fee. Please refer to our drop-in rates below. We will do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.

Payment. The fee for drop-in students will be added to your student's tuition balance.

Late Pick-Up Fees. The Orchard program ends at 5:30 p.m. Late fees begin accruing at the end of your child’s extended day session at 5:31 p.m. Any child who is picked up after 5:31 p.m. will be charged a late fee based on the following schedule:

  • 0-15 minutes late: $25
  • 16-30 minutes late: An additional $50 will apply
  • 31-45 minutes late: An additional $75 will apply

(For example, if you are 25 minutes late, you will be charged $25 for the first 15 minutes, plus an additional $50 for the next 10 minutes, totaling $75.) Late pick-up fees will be added to the billing ledger for your student. 

Drop-In Rates. $50 per session or $20 per hour. Drop-in fees are not pro-rated. For example, the fee is $20 for 1 hour or any part of an hour (e.g. the fee would equal $40 for 1 hour and 10 minutes). 

Availability. Drop-In is only available if we have space in the program.
