    General Kids Club Information
     
    Registration forms for the 2018-2019 school year are available on the Registration Page. Forms and payment can be mailed to Barnes Early Childhood Center (20090 Morningside Dr., GPW, MI 48236) or taken directly to your school office or to Kids Club on the first day of school. *If you are new to our program you will need to complete and submit all five registration forms. If you are a returning Kids Club family, only the following form(s) are needed:
     
    - Enrollment and Health Statement (This has to be filled out every year.)
    - Child Information Record needs to be reviewed, initialed and dated ON SITE. This form does not need to be filled out again but your initial/review/date is required. Please see your site director for this sheet. 
     
    YEARLY KIDS CLUB FEES: There are two fees, aside from usage, that are due every school year in order to enroll your child into Kids Club. These fees are due at the time of registration.
     
    IN ORDER TO MAKE A PAYMENT ONLINE, YOU MUST HAVE RECEIVED AN INVOICE. ONCE THE MAIN KIDS CLUB OFFICE RECEIVES PAPERWORK FROM EACH SITE IT IS ENTERED INTO OUR SYSTEM AND AN INVOICE IS SENT. INTEROFFICE MAIL SOMETIMES TAKES A FEW DAYS, WE ARE SORRY FOR THE DELAY. IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN INVOICE AND YOU BELIEVE YOU SHOULD HAVE, PLEASE CALL 313-432-3067. 
     
    Security Deposit:
    A $250 security deposit per family is due each year. The security deposit will stay on your account for the entire school year. Because Kids Club bills families after the fact, this is a security measure for us. The security deposit can be used in a number of ways at the end of the school year. If at the end of the school year your account has a balance you may use monies from your deposit to cover your balance. If you choose this option, you will have to pay the $250 security deposit for the upcoming school year if you plan on utilizing the program again. If you do not have a balance you can choose one of two options. You may either leave your full security deposit on your account and roll it over to the next school year or you may request to have it refunded to you. The latter option will require the $250 security deposit to be paid in full for the upcoming school year, should you utilize the program again. A $250 security deposit will be charged to each responsible party. For example, if each parent has a separate account for their child(ren), the full $250 will be charged to each account.

    The Grosse Pointe Public School System recognizes the need for school-based childcare in our community. Officially titled “School-Age Child Care Program” (but informally known as “Kids Club”), this self-supporting program is aimed at providing a supervised and safe environment for elementary and middle school children before and after school.

    Interesting activities are planned which are developmentally appropriate and enhance physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth. The opportunity to be with friends in a supervised program benefits children and offers parents a safe, practical solution for child care needs before and after school.
