2020-2021 Programming -
Registration Open for 2nd-8th Graders
Dear ABC Children's Programs Families,
Building on the success of the first few weeks of the school year, registration for in-person programming beginning Tuesday October 13th is now open! To start, we are offering school day and full day options for students in 2nd-8th grade who are not eligible for an in-person spot at school. Even if you have had your child attending the program, please read this email carefully as we have adjusted rates and schedule options to accommodate for the need for full day, full time care while also making part-time options available.

Program Dates:
We plan to run this program from October 13th through the remainder of the school year unless circumstances change. We will closely follow guidance from both state and local authorities as well as CPSD to determine if or when we need to make the decision to close for the health and safety of our community, or make other adjustments.

Registration Options:
Families may choose to enroll their children in any of the following schedule options. Schedule options are fixed and there is no flexibility to change the days listed below. This format allows us to create reasonable cohort sizes and allows us to operate as safely as we can during this pandemic.
  • 5 Days - Monday through Friday
  • 3 Days - Monday, Wednesday, Friday
  • 2 Days - Tuesday, Thursday

  1. School Day Only*: 8:30am - 3pm, primarily support for school based virtual learning
  2. Full Day*: 8:30am - 5:30pm, virtual learning support + Afterschool
*Add on "Early Bird" option to drop off as early as 7:30am

Looking Ahead - Afterschool Only Enrollment and Arts Classes
Enrollment for children to do afterschool only (3:15-5:30pm) is not yet open or available. We plan to start the Afterschool Only option on October 26th based on availability of afternoon spaces. Starting on Oct 26th, we will also be incorporating specialized arts programming. There will not be separate weekday Maud Morgan Arts classes, but rather these will be incorporated into this program. We will send an email to open afterschool enrollment in the coming weeks, with the arts program schedule and availability of afternoon spaces. In an effort to reduce risk and support a safe reopening of public schools, we are not currently offering in-person programming for children attending in-person school. As things evolve, we may be able to offer programming for those children but we don't have an anticipated date at this time.

Program Information
Our program will be a continuation of the programming we have been offering since the beginning of the school year, although we are focusing on children who do not have the option of attending in-person school. If you are new to the program, please click the link below for more information about health and safety, group size, spaces, and staffing.
Tuition Rates and Billing
To account for the unpredictability of running programming during a pandemic, and to provide flexibility for families who are also facing constantly evolving circumstances, we will be billing every 2 weeks. To help us with planning and to give you as much consistency and certainty about your childcare as we can, your child will be enrolled in your selected schedule on an ongoing basis unless you've communicated otherwise. Changes such as an addition of days for virtual learning or afterschool will depend on availability at the time and must be submitted in writing to registration@agassiz.org.

Payment Options
  1. Pay online
  2. Select "Pay Later" at checkout and submit either an ACH (automatic withdrawal form + voided check) or check payment at discounted rate within three business days of enrolling

Financial Aid
We accept vouchers from Child Care Choices of Boston and have full and partial scholarships available for families who do not qualify for a voucher but demonstrate a financial or personal hardship and need for childcare. Anyone planning to use a voucher or apply for financial aid should contact Registration for assistance registering and we will get you set up (617.349.6287 x28 or registration@agassiz.org).
Tuition and Refund Policies
  • Early Morning, School Day, Full Day, and Afterschool Only Tuition will be billed every two weeks and includes a $100 student fee that is non-refundable and will be included every two weeks in your bill.
  • If a family withdraws at any point before or during the session, they will receive a 75% refund for remaining days, but not the $100 fee.
  • We will not refund or reduce rates for general absences.
  • If we have to close the program, we will refund 50% for remaining days in the week of the closure, and fully refund any remaining paid weeks with the exception of the non-refundable student fee(s).
  • If a family increases their child's enrollment during the session, they will owe the difference in tuition for the days remaining in the two-week session, and recurring billing will be adjusted accordingly.
