 FAQs

  • Here are some guiding questions to help you reflect on your child’s readiness.

  • We do not currently offer drop in options. All of our clubs require advance registration.

  • Yes! We do offer prorated fees if there is an available spot in the club you wish to register for after the start date. Please contact us directly to check if there is an available spot in the club you are interested in.

  • Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a makeup schedule within Yapa Clubs. Our program is structured on a seasonal basis and follows the school's calendar, so we're unable to provide an alternate schedule.

  • Not at this time. Yapa Clubs is an extension of your child's school day. The purpose of these clubs is to provide a seamless transition from the regular school day into the extended day program.

  • If your child was absent from school due to a reason other than illness, they are welcome to join their regularly scheduled Yapa Club.

  • Yes! We offer a 10% sibling discount for each additional child you register in the same Yapa Clubs season.

  • Yapa Clubs follows the Play School’s calendar and closure decisions:

    • Delayed Start: If the Play School has a delayed start, Yapa Clubs will run at the regularly scheduled time.
