  In order to provide a quality program for our children with programs like Trampoline (the Spanish curriculum,) Rebounders, and Sportztime as well as continuing to assess each child's progress, there is an Activity fee for each Kindergarten child. Parents will be notified of the fee prior to each school year, as the rate is subject to change.
