Drop-In Only Contracts

Drop-In Only contracts are available for both morning and afternoon sessions. This care is not guaranteed, must be requested in advance, and will be approved if space is available.

Requested afternoon drop-in care will be offered based on space availability to families who have registered for a part-time afternoon or an afternoon drop-in only contract. Requested morning drop-in care will be offered based on space availability to families who have registered for a part-time morning or a morning drop-in only contract. All drop-ins must have prior approval from the SAE Site Director. Once the Director has approved a drop-in, the day cannot be switched and the parent is responsible to pay for the session, including the drop-in fee.

There are no refunds for unused scheduled drop-ins. Drop-in fees will need to be paid once the approval is received from the SAE Site Director.

See parent handbook for additional information about Drop-In Care.

Tuition rates are site specific and can be found on individual school webpages (linked below). 
Families pay for the care reserved, not for care used. Fees are non-refundable and not available for credit.

Families will be billed by the first of each month. Payment is due in full for each month by the 10th of each month through the online portal. Holidays and SAE planned closure days are not included in your total balance. Any unpaid balance remaining after the 10th of the month will be considered delinquent, and child care services will be discontinued. 

See parent handbook for additional information about Tuition and Billing.

Contracts selected at the time of registration will apply for the duration of the school year. If a family wants to change to a different option, they will have the opportunity to submit a change request October 21, 2025 through October 31, 2025, which will be provided by the Site Director. This will be the only opportunity to make a schedule change request through the end of the 2025-2026 school year.

Our SAE Central Team will review all change requests between November 3, 2025 and November 14, 2025. Any change requests will be considered if space allows. Communication will be sent to families whose request was approved starting November 17, 2025. 

If your schedule change is approved, you will have 48 hours to accept the new contract. Once accepted, a $25 per student schedule change fee will be assessed and the new contract  schedule will begin on January 7, 2026.

Offers are made on a rolling basis so long as spaces are available in the program. Individual Site Directors will contact families selected in the lottery drawing.

You have 48 hours to accept your offer and registration must be completed as soon as possible. Families that do not respond within 48 hours or complete the registration process in a timely manner will forfeit their spot and will be removed from the interest pool.

Once an offer has been accepted, Site Directors will send families information to complete their registration online. Any additional interest form entries may be removed from the interest pool.

If you decline the contract space that is offered to you, your entry form will be removed from the interest pool. You may resubmit another form at another time and will go through the lottery process again if spaces are available.

Information will be posted on each individual school’s SAE/PKE webpage with information about available spaces. In the event that additional spaces can be filled throughout the school year, the lottery will be drawn again for those specific contract entries and the Site Director will reach out to offer spaces.
