ADMISSION POLICY

The Parma City Schools Extended Day Care Program is available only to children of our school district. When enrolling families into our program, we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, disability, or marital status. Parents should notify the EDC staff if their child has a special need and be willing to provide our staff with information, including any reasonable accommodations that would be necessary. Please note our staff to child ratio and group size when considering out-of-school care. Reasonable accommodations cannot include hiring of additional staff, as the program is self-supporting and the additional cost would require a significant increase in tuition. A change in the staff to child ratio and group size would also fundamentally alter the nature of the program.

Several of our children are transported to other sites for after-school care, and caregivers do not ride the buses. These operating procedures may need to be considered when planning appropriate care for your child.

EDC Registration Form and Required Fees

Parents wishing to enroll new children into the program must first contact the Children’s Services Office at 440-885-2484. If space in the program is available, you will complete an enrollment packet and remit the required registration fees and first-week's tuition (if applicable).

Intent-to-Return Form/Annual Registration Fee

Parents of children enrolled in the program will be given an Intent-to-Return Form in March or April. This form, along with the annual non-refundable registration fee of $15 per child, or $25 per family, must be returned to Children's Services Office to secure your child’s space on the roster for the next school year.

EDC Enrollment Packet

Once it has been confirmed that your child has a slot in our program, you will receive an EDC Enrollment Packet. This packet includes an EDC Service Agreement Form, Medical Emergency Form, Transportation Authorization Form, Family Information Form, one permission slip for use of instant no-rinse hand sanitizer, one photo release permission slip, one Transportation Authorization Card, and one Off-Site Transportation Card for those children being transported to an off-site location.

First Day Requirements For Children

The registration form, the completed enrollment packet (no blank spaces) must be turned in prior to any child attending the program.

Written Notification Required When Withdrawing A Child

A two-week written notification is required to withdraw a child from the Extended Day Care Program. Tuition fees will continue to accrue until this written notification is received.

Re-Enrolling Requires a Registration Fee

In order to re-enroll your child into the Extended Day Care Program, you will have to repeat the registration process and pay a $15 per child or $25 per family registration fee. In order to re-enroll your child, you must not have an outstanding balance with Children's Services Programs.
