The Kinnelon Extended Day Programs are tuition based programs. The programs DO NOT receive any funding from the Kinnelon Public School budget.

We understand how important it is for parents to know their children are safe and well cared for after school. Our excellent staff will make sure that all of our students are provided with age appropriate activities or free time. We will also supervise and help the older students with their home work assignments. The Kinnelon Extended Day Programs are an affordable choice to meet the needs of our students and parents.

All programs follow the school calendar. We will be in session on ½ days and scheduled early dismissal days.

There will not be any classes when school is closed so please make alternate arrangements for those days.

General Program Policies and Information:

Do the Extended Day Programs get any money from the Board Of Education?

Never! All of the Extended Day Programs are self-sustaining and receive NO funds from the Kinnelon Board Of Education.



Do the programs run on 1/2 days and scheduled early dismissal days?

Yes! We'll be here for you on all scheduled 1/2 days and early dismissal days.



Do the programs run when school is out?

Unfortunately at this time, we do NOT run when school is closed. We suggest that you make alternate arrangements for those days.



How do parents pay for the programs?

Parents are asked for three months tuition in advance of each session.



Is a deposit required?

We ask for a $50 non-refundable deposit when you are pre-enrolling, but this deposit is applied to your tuition.



Are there any payment plans available if I can't manage the full 3 months at a time?

Of course!  We are always happy to work with you. Please contact us to let us know your intention to pay monthly. Then, you'll divide your total due for the session by the number of months in the session (Sessions are as follows: Sept-Nov, Dec-Feb, Mar-June). Submit your first months payment with your enrollment and the remaining payments will be due by the 10th of each month.



Is there a family discount available?

Absolutely! If you have two or more children enrolled in our programs, we'll give you a 10% discount on each of them!



Is there a minimum number of days that I must enroll my children in these programs?

Never!  You can enroll your child for one day each week, five days, or anywhere in between that suits your needs. The only thing you can't do is pick and choose dates. As an example, if you sign up for Mondays you must sign up for ALL of the Mondays in the semester. This applies to each day.



What if I have an emergency and need to drop my child off early or pick him/her up late from school?

We're here to help you!  If you have an emergency, please contact your school as soon as you can to make arrangements with us. Please understand, though, that birthday parties, playdates and the like to NOT count as emergencies.



What is the behavior policy?

To keep the program a happy experience for all the children, if there is consistent disruption of class by any student or students, the parents will be notified.

After exhausting all possibilities, if there is no improvement in a child’s behavior the parents will be asked to remove the child from the program. After an agreed upon period of time , the child may be reinstated.



Kids Korner AM:

How will my child get to Kids Korner AM in the morning?

Parents are responsible for dropping their children off at Sisco School at the appropriate time.



How will my child get from Kids Korner AM to Stonybrook School in time for school to start?

Stonybrook students attending Kids Korner AM will take the bus from Sisco to Stonybrook. They will be the first stop on the way to school.



Will I be paying for the time my child is on the bus?

Absolutely not!  You will notice on the enrollment form that the prices for Kiel students and for Stonybrook students differ a bit. This is because Stonybrook children spend some of their time in transit and you are NOT charged for that time!



What time can I drop my child off at Kids Korner AM?

We have stated times of 7:00 am or 8:00 am. We expect that these times will work for most parents. However, we do understand that for some, a few minutes earlier would mean a less rushed commute in the morning. If this sounds like your situation, please contact us immediately to let us know your needs. If there is sufficient demand for a slightly earlier drop off, we will be glad to accomodate you!



What will my child be doing during their time at Kids Korner?

Children will have some free time to relax into their morning and they will have the opportunity to enjoy a small morning snack provided by the program. They will then have some time to enjoy their choice of activity which may include games, arts & crafts, puzzles, building blocks (yes we have Legos!) or even some quiet reading time.



Will my child be watching videos?

No. Kids Korner is a VFZ (Video Free Zone). Instead we will enjoy interesting activities and interactions with the other children.



Do I have to send in a snack for Kids Korner AM?

You may, if you like, but the program will be offering healthy snack choices for all Kids Korner AM students.



Are there any additional fees associated with this program?

We NEVER charge hidden fees of any kind. The price you see on the enrollment form includes everything we offer for the program. No confusing fee structures, no extra charges for snacks or activities, just one affordable rate!



How many days each week must I enroll my child in this program?

You choose!  You can come one day each week, all five, or anything in between.



Is there anything else I should know about this program?

We suggest you take a few moments to read over the General Program Policies which apply to all of the Extended Day Programs. The General Program Policies section contains important information about behavior, financial arrangements etc.

Kids Korner PM



How will my Stonybrook student get to Kids Korner PM?

Stonybrook students are bussed over to Sisco school at dismissal time. They will be the last stop on the afternoon bus.



Will I be paying for the time my child is on the bus?

Absolutely not!  You will notice on the enrollment form that the prices for Kiel students and for Stonybrook students differ a bit. This is because Stonybrook children spend some of their time in transit and you are NOT charged for that time!



What will my child be doing in Kids Korner PM?

Students will have a bit of free time and a small snack provided by the program. This will be followed by homework time for the older students. When homework is complete, they may choose from a variety of age appropriate games and activities. Our younger students who do not have homework can jump right into the games and activities.



What happens if there is a half day?

In the event of a half day or scheduled early dismissal days, Kids Korner becomes 4.5 hours and would incur an additional cost of $14.00 for the day.  This cost is already reflected on the enrollment form.



What time to I pick my child up from Kids Korner?

Parents can choose their pick up time when enrolling. Options are:
For Kiel Students: 4pm, 5pm, or 6pm
For Stonybrook Students: 5pm or 6pm
Please choose a pick up time that accurately reflects your needs.



What if I am late picking up my child?

Students MUST be picked up at the appropriate time. A LATE FEE of $20.00 is assessed and payable at the time of pick up if a child is not picked up within 10 minutes of the chosen time.



What if I have an emergency?

We are happy to help in cases of emergency. You can read about our policy in this regard in the General section. Please remember that birthday parties, play dates, etc., do not count as emergencies!



Is homework help available?

Yes! Our knowledgable staff is ready to help your child whenever needed.



What is your homework policy?

We are very happy to assist the children with their homework and we try to make sure they finish it. We do this in hopes that it will give the family precious time to enjoy being with each other at the end of the day. Sometimes children have a sufficient amount of homework that they are unable to complete during the time they are in Kids Korner and sometimes the children only show us a part of what they have as homework. If they were unable to finish an assignment that we know about, we will inform the person picking up the student that the homework was not completed. Kids Korner is here to help, but we can not accept responsibility for completed homework assignments.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE PARENTS TO GO OVER THE HOMEWORK WITH THEIR CHILD! This affords the parents the opportunity to see how their child is doing and what they are currently working on and to make sure all of their assignments have been completed. It also allows the child a chance to make sure it is accurate and to make any corrections necessary.
