Enrollment in classes is done on a first come, first served basis so the earlier you enroll, the more likely it is that you would get your child's first choice of class but that is not guaranteed.

Enrichment Classes start on Wednesday January 9 (FIRST WEEK BACK TO SCHOOL) and go until Wednesday May 15. This is a total of 17 classes. **Please Note: There are no classes during Spring Break on March 13 & 20.**

All classes, regardless of length, are the same price EXCEPT Spanish. Due to the high cost of the Spanish lessons, they are slightly more expensive.

Early Owl Registration (November 8 - November 9) :

Arts & Movement Enrichment: $12/session for 17 sessions ($204/ Fall Semester)
Spanish Classes: $18/session for 17 sessions ($306/ Spring Semester)
Early Aftercare* until 3:05 pm (not enrichment classes): $4/session for 17 sessions ($68/ Fall Semester)

Regular Registration (November 10 - December 21) :

Arts & Movement Enrichment : $15/session for 17 sessions ($255/ Fall Semester)
Spanish Classes: $20/session for 17 sessions ($340/ Fall Semester)
Early Aftercare* until 3:05 pm (not enrichment classes): $5/session for 17 sessions ($85/ Fall Semester)

Late Registration (December 22 - January 11):

Arts & Movement Enrichment : $18/session for 17 sessions ($306/ Fall Semester)
Spanish Classes: $22/session for 17 sessions ($374/ Fall Semester)
Early Aftercare* until 3:05 pm (not enrichment classes): $6/session for 17 sessions ($102/ Fall Semester)

*Regular AfterCare is from 3:05pm-6pm. Students enrolled in Full Time or Part Time AfterCare on Wednesdays will receive a discount on "Early" AfterCare if they don't enroll in an enrichment class. Students enrolled in Full Time AfterCare will also receive a $40 semester credit on their AfterCare bills ($10 each month) for also enrolling in an Enrichment Class. See AfterCare Enrollment Form for further details on these discounts.

You will receive 1 invoice for the full amount of the class on/by December 3 (if you enroll by November 30). Please be advised: All payments are NON-REFUNDABLE. No matter what the reason is, even if your student is no longer attending ADS, the deposit will not be refunded.

In order to secure the lower pricing if you qualify for Early Owl Discount, the FULL COST of the semester cost ($204 for Enrichment, $306 for Spanish OR $68 for Basic ChildCare) must be paid by invoice due date. All payments are non-refundable.

For Early Owls, If the full cost isn't received by the invoice due date, the price will go up to the regular registration rate and you will receive a new invoice with a new invoice due date. If your payment still isn't received by the 2nd due date, you enrollment will be cancelled and your child will be expected to be picked up at 1:50pm on Wednesdays throughout the semester.

If you are a Full Time or Part Time AfterCare Student who is NOT enrolling in Enrichment classes but just wants Early AfterCare - the cost will be on your monthly AfterCare Bill. You do not need to submit payment to secure Early AfterCare - you just need to enroll in Regular AfterCare (no need to fill out this enrollment form - you need to fill out the AfterCare Enrollment Form if you haven't already). Only students who are NOT enrolling in regular AfterCare will have to pay in one payment installment for Early AfterCare for the Spring Semester.

Anyone who registers by November 9 and then makes a change to their registration after November 9 (i.e. switching classes, etc), will not qualify for the Early Owl Discount anymore as your enrollment is pushed to the bottom of the list and it is like you registered the day the change was made.

If you submit your registration paperwork on or before November 30, you should receive an invoice no later than December 3. The invoice will list the class that your child has been enrolled in. These will be sent to you through the Brightwheel ChildCare System. If you aren't already a member of BrightWheel, you will receive an email asking you to sign up for BrightWheel (it's free to signup).

Registration for all Enrichment Classes ends January 11, 2018 (assuming class space is even still available). After that time, if you find yourself in need of care, Early AfterCare will be available for $6/Wednesday (until 3:05pm). If you enroll late for a class (after December 22), the enrollment is NOT pro-rated. You would still pay $306 (or $374 for Spanish) for the semester even though 1 class was missed. There are no refunds for students who are absent, withdraw from the class and/or school, and there are no additional make up classes.

Please Note: There are no family discounts on Spanish Classes due to the high cost of the class. The class is either $18, $20 or $22 per class depending on enrollment date.

Please Note: There are also no substitutions allowed meaning that if your student drops out of a class, you cannot sell or give your spot to another child to take the class. Your registration is just forfeited.

Staff to Student Ratio for all classes will be determined by enrollment but would not be more than 1:22. If there are more than 22 students, a 2nd teacher would be placed in the classroom. Most classes are a 1:12/1:15/1:16 ratio.
