The published guidelines specify a minimum of three days per week. Please confirm current scheduling options with the center director.

Our guidelines list a one-time registration fee of $150 per family, due upon placement and non-refundable, plus payment for 2 weeks of service at registration. At Southpointe, families may choose a provided lunch for an additional $5 per day.
