IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

THE BETHPAGE DISCOVERY PROGRAM WILL ONLY OPERATE UNTIL 5:00PM IN EACH OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

If we were to remain opened longer we would have to be licensed by New York State. This would increase the cost dramatically causing many parents financial hardship. The regulations from the state require a Director, a teacher in every building, employees must have 30 hours of training every two years, these regulations could increase the cost to our parents close to $400 a month for after care. Having less hours, we do not have to be licensed by New York State, we can continue our program as it is.
We hope you can understand our position. Years ago we did contract this program out to the "Y". They started raising the cost so much that Discovery was kind enough to take it over for the parents of Bethpage. The "Y" still has a program that at this point cost $6.00 an hour + administration fees, that might be an option for some of the families that need care after 5pm.
We are sorry for any inconvience that this may have caused some parents using our program.

Students who arrive to PM daycare without prior registration will be sent to the main office and a parent or emergency contact will be called. Children who arrive for the AM program will not be allowed in. This policy is in force due to requirements of our insurance policy.

CHILDREN MUST BE PICKED UP BY 5:00PM

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PROVIDE AT LEAST 2 EMERGENCY CONTACTS WHO CAN PICK UP YOUR CHILD.

PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT STUDENTS WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK HOWEVER WE CAN NOT ENFORCE COMPLETION OF YOUR CHILDREN'S HOMEWORK. WE BELIEVE THAT IS THE PARENT'S RESPONSIBILITY AND ASK YOU TO COOPERATE IN THIS MATTER!

 

Please make sure your registration form with your $20.00 registration fee per child is sent in prior to your child attending. Be reminded that all payments must be made by the first of the month or a late fee will be incurred.

Payments that are not received in time will necessitate your child's removal from the program.

 

 

REMINDER PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE BY THE FIRST OF EACH MONTH

PLEASE RETAIN THE MONTHLY STATEMENT FOR YOUR RECORDS
