• Enrollment fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Each school year, parents need to enroll their child by completing an enrollment form, paying the enrollment fee, and providing a copy of their drivers’ licenses. If there is an outstanding balance at the time of any enrollment, all monies must be paid in full.
• Enrollment applications are required each summer and enrollment fees are additional.
• Before school rates are a flat fee based on the school corporation. All before care begins at 6:30 am and ends when school starts (8:00 am for LC and 9:00-9:30 am for Munster). If school has a delayed start, there is an additional hourly fee charged. After school care begins when school ends until 6:00 pm. It is an hourly rate with a one hour minimum. One-half hour rates apply after the first hour. For both before and after care, TAC gives discounts to families with 2, 3 and 4 children. Discounts are also given to school employees during school year. See our rate sheet at www.TheAdventureClub.com or call Corporate Office at (219) 865-6283 from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
• Invoices are generated every Monday for Lake Central and Wednesday for all other schools for care provided the prior week. Fees are due in full every Friday by 6:00 pm. Payments received by 6:00 pm each Friday will be reflected on the current invoice.
