Kids Place Before and Afterschool Program Details

For all tuition information, please refer to the 2024-2025 Program Handbook for Westerville and Gahanna families.

The parent/guardian must notify the Site Director of the change/withdrawal of the child and send an e-mail explaining the change in child care hours or withdrawal information to the Enrollment Specialist. In the e-mail, please include the child’s name, name of the school site, the start date of the change in hours, or the last day the child will attend the program if you are withdrawing your child. Notice of withdrawal should be received two weeks prior of the child’s withdraw date.

You will contact your individual school site. See here for Gahanna, here for Westerville, and here for the United Schools Network.
