Before Care Only: $100 per month per student
After Care Only: $296 per month per student
Early Release After Care Only: $100 per month per student

*For extended absences (more than half of the programming days in a month) due to quarantine or illness, contact the Site Manager for Extended Learning at your Rocketeer’s campus to discuss refund options.

Child Care Subsidy Program
