Limited tuition assistance is available. Please provide your proof of income before or at time of registration. Learn more about tuition assistance, click here. Preschool spots will not be held if your enrollment information is incomplete.

Non School Day Preschool

These days of care are available only to families who have registered for our Extended Day Preschool program. 

Registration for Non-School Day care, exclusively for those enrolled in Extended Day Preschool, for 2026-27 opened June 1, 2026 at 8:00 a.m.

We are excited to offer these days of care as individual registrations, allowing families to choose and pay for only the days they need. Students enrolled in Extended Day at any of our 7 locations (6 elementaries and Harley Hopkins)  are eligible for Non School Day (NSD) care.  However, our NSD Days are located only at Meadowbrook Elementary and Harley Hopkins Family Center.

The Non-School days contract is a separate contract from the school year contract. The deadline to register for non-school days is the 15th of the prior month. Contracts will be approved on a first-come, first-serve basis. Enrollees who register for the non-school day are responsible for payment unless written notification (email is sufficient notice) of cancellation is received in the billing office at least two weeks (14 days) prior to the non-school day. A $20 fee per child will be charged for each change or cancellation. Those who register after the deadline and get approved will be charged at a higher rate.

Important Considerations for Non School Day Care Registration:

• Families will provide meals and a snack from home during these Non School Days, although our programs will also have some basic snacks available.  

• Our NSD registration locations will be listed as Harley or Meadowbrook - we reserve the right to reduce location availability to one site if registrations are low for a particular Non School Day. We will let you know if there are location changes a minimum of 48 hours before the day of care. The hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. 

• The daily rate for Non School Day Care is $50.  If you access Early Learning Scholarships, this rate might be covered, please check with your caseworker or your award paperwork.
