EKC FAQs
How do I register?
NEW FAMILIES: If you would like to register for EKC, please email ekc@elkhornfoundation.org with your child’s school.
Can I register my child if he/she is not 5?
We are licensed to care for children ages 5 through 12 and focus on providing a quality program for children of these ages. We cannot accept registrations for children younger than 5.
What do I do if my child will be absent?
Please call or text your site director if your child will not be attending the program. This enables us to ensure that each child arrives at EKC safely. You may leave a message on the site director’s phone.
Do I need to sign my child in/out?
An authorized person must always sign in/out each child at EKC. Parents are not allowed to call the site and request that their child walk home. Our policies are designed to keep your children safe; thank you for your cooperation.
Do I need to sign up for care on consolidation days (when school is out)?
Yes, you must pre-register for consolidation days; an email will be sent with a link approximately two weeks before a consolidation day. If you sign up for a consolidation day and choose to make other arrangements for care or your child is sick, we will be unable to refund the tuition.
Do I need to fill out the Tuition Express form if I plan to use the same account as the prior year?
No, you can sign/date the form and write same across the banking information.
Does EKC provide snow day care?
If Elkhorn Public School closes, EKC will also be closed.
Does EKC provide morning care on late start days?
If the district calls for a late start EKC will not be able to provide morning care, but will be open for the afternoon.
