Q: What is the registration process?
A: New for the 2025 – 2026 school year, we will be offering online registration for all Enrichment Programs. You and your child will need an account with The Connection in order to register. It does not need to be an active account at time of registration.
Q: When does registration begin?
A: March 4th at 7:30AM
Q: I have an account that is not active. Does it need to be active to enroll my child for Before or After School Enrichment?
A: A membership is not needed for registration but it is needed for participation. Once enrolled and off the waitlist, our Membership Services team will process the membership fee plus the deposit.
Q: Is there a registration fee?
A: While there is no registration fee, there is a required, non-refundable deposit of $200 that will later be applied towards your first month’s payment. The deposit plus membership fees (if applicable) will be charged at time of registration.
Q: How likely is it for a new student to register if existing students register prior?
A: Even though currently enrolled families are given the opportunity to register early, it does not mean that all families will stay in their same spots. We have 5th graders that will be graduating out of the program as well as changes in families’ needs.
Q: Waitlists
A: If your child is on a waitlist, we will reach out to you if or when a spot becomes available. We can not predict what will happen year to year but we do typically see changes from March to August. We have even had changes in September. Enrollment also depends on our staffing which sometimes is not finalized until the start of school.
Q: What is the difference between In-School After School and After School held at The Connection’s main building?
A: Both programs follow a similar outline in that they have an opportunity for snack, homework & reading time, as well as centers and projects. However, at The Connection, students have access to classes such as dance, gymnastics & swim (for an additional fee). Due to this, the students are not all on the same schedule as they are when they are at the In-School programs. Students at The Connection do not get outside as much as the students at the In-School programs. It truly comes down to your family’s preference and needs.
Q: Similarly, I have a Kindergartner. Should I sign up for the program in their school or at The Connection?
A: Kindergartners tend to have a better experience and smoother transition into the long day when remaining at their schools. Having to ride the bus and co-mingle with older students sometimes can be intimidating for some.
Q: If I sign up for After School at The Connection do I receive a discount on swim, gymnastics, dance, or specialty classes for my child?
A: For the 2025-2026 school year these classes will not be discounted.
