State Subsidies

When capacity allows, Adventure Club accepts children receiving childcare subsidies from the Family Support Division. Please contact our office before enrolling to verify we have space for your child. If accepted, contact your caseworker and inform them your children attends Adventure Club and the DVN associated with the school.

Families are responsible for any tuition fees not covered by state reimbursement, sliding fees, or funding secured by Adventure Club to offset costs. Adventure Club attendance policy requires that children attend at least 30 minutes per day and miss no more than five days per month. Attendance infractions are assessed at the daily rate each time a child attends 29 minutes (or less per day) and beginning with the 6th absence. Adventure Club reserves the right to dismiss or suspend families that do not adhere to policies. Please see our Family Handbook for specific details.

Scholarship

When funding allows, families that do not qualify for State assistance can apply for an Adventure Club scholarship to assist with tuition cost. Scholarship funding is limited and on a first-come first-served basis. Priority is given to families that are currently enrolled in Adventure Club, and child(ren) will not receive scholarship approval until the process is complete.
