- ✓ Same qualified teachers and Creative Curriculum used in our weekday program
- ✓ Morning and afternoon snacks provided (parents pack lunch)
- ✓ Outdoor play, indoor learning activities, and rest time

Saturday Care pricing
Saturday care is a recurring weekly enrollment. You reserve your child's slot for Saturdays, and the slot is held for you whether your child attends that week or not.
Ages 3 and up
Ages 1 to 3
How billing works
Invoices go out every two weeks on Monday and are due Tuesday. Each invoice covers the next 2 Saturdays of care.
You pay for your child's slot whether they attend that Saturday or not. This keeps the slot reserved and lets us plan staffing.
We accept DSHS Working Connections Child Care, MCCYN, and MCCYN-PLUS subsidies. Weekend coverage depends on your individual authorization.
- ✓ Bring or send us your current authorization before enrolling so we can confirm Saturday coverage.
- ✓ If your authorization doesn't include weekend hours, we'll walk you through how to update it with your caseworker.
- ✓ Any hours beyond your authorization are billed at the private-pay Saturday rate above.
- ✓Our SSPS Provider Number is 587902. Child Care Aware Military Provider ID is 9245115.
Saturday care pricing is independent of any weekday enrollment. It is its own program.

Saturday enrollment requires two weeks' advance notice so we can confirm your slot, complete any subsidy review, and prepare your first invoice.

- We'll review your form and may invite you to take a tour so you can meet the team and see the space.
