Flex Books

We also offer Flex Books.  Flex Books are a great option for families who may want to utilize the Shining Star Program once in a while, but not often enough to pay monthly.  

If your child needs to attend the program one day, you would hand in a Flex Ticket at the time of pick-up.  

  • One Flex Book contains five Flex Tickets.  
  • The Flex Book costs $105.00, so each ticket costs $21.00.  
  • Flex Tickets are only sold in increments of five.  Tickets are not available for sale individually.  
  • If your child will be attending the a.m. session and p.m. session in the same day, you will need to use two Flex Tickets.  
  • A Flex Ticket is for one child only, not two or more siblings.  

Drop-In Rates

If your child is enrolled in our program, we offer drop-in rates as well.  
For example, if your child attends the before school session on a monthly basis and you need your child to attend the afternoon session for a day, you can pay the p.m. drop-off rate for that one day.  This would also apply if your child attends after school on a monthly basis and you need to drop your child off early one morning.  

Drop-off rates do not apply if your child is not registered for the Shining Star Program on a monthly basis.  If you are not registered for the program on a monthly basis, see Flex Book option directly below.  

DROP-OFF RATES:
  • A.M. Drop-Off:  $10.00/child/day
  • P.M. Drop-Off:  $14.00/child/day
  • 1:00 Dismissal Drop-Off:  $15.00/child/day

Discounts

If you are eligible for more than one discount, the higher of the two discounts will be used.  Multiple discounts are not valid.


Multiple Children
If you have more than one child, we offer family rates.  Family rates allow your children to attend the program 5 days per week.
  • Family A.M.:  $80.00/child/month
  • Family P.M.:  $159.00/child/month
  • Family A.M. & P.M.:  $214.00/child/month

  • $50.00 discount for paying the entire 10 month tuition by September 15th.
