Early Birds

Monday – Friday, 7:30 AM to 8:50 AM

Manitou offers prepaid early care for a limited number of enrolled students on a first come, first serve basis.

We offer drop-in early care depending on availability, but families must email nubia@manitouschool.orgbilling@manitouschool.org, and info@manitouschool.org to request drop-in early care for their student by 1 PM the previous day.

The daily cost is as follows:
  • Drop-in Early Birds between 7:30 – 8:00: $30 
  • Drop-in Early Birds after 8:00: $20

Families should drop off students for Early Birds at the front door.


Prepaid Early Birds Care

If your early care needs are consistent, we suggest that you sign up for regularly scheduled Early Birds. You will be able to select how many days a week and which days.

By committing to an early care schedule, you will receive a significant discount (see pricing structure below). The prices are the same as they were in 2022/23.  The only change is that there is no longer a sibling discount.

If you sign up for Monthly Prepaid Early Birds, your monthly payment is due regardless of holidays, vacations, and illness. You will receive automatic invoices and be able to easily pay them via Curacubby.  Your invoices will be automatically reduced for months in which there are fewer than 3 of any weekday.

Early Birds monthly prepaid pricing is based on the time of arrival (between 7:30 and 8:00 AM or after 8:00 AM).

Aftercare


Monday – Friday, 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM

The Manitou School offers aftercare services to students currently enrolled at Manitou. The Aftercare Program allows time for children to have free play as well as time to read, create art, and do homework.

Please provide your child with a nut-free healthy snack every day they are attending an afternoon enrichment class or aftercare. Snacks must be in a separate container clearly marked “Aftercare”. Snacks are not provided by the school.

Our goal is to structure the aftercare pricing model equitably, and we revisit our pricing policies each year with this goal in mind. The pricing for prepaid aftercare has largely remained unchanged from the 2022/23 school year, but there are two updates:

  • There is no longer a sibling discount;
  • The price for Drop-in Aftercare is now $38

Regularly Scheduled Aftercare

If your aftercare needs are consistent, we suggest that you sign up for regularly scheduled aftercare. You will be able to select how many days a week and which days.

By committing to an aftercare schedule, you will receive a significant discount. Your monthly payment is due regardless of holidays, vacations, and illness. You will receive automatic invoices and be able to easily pay them via Curacubby.  Your invoices will be automatically reduced for months in which there are fewer than 3 of any weekday.  

Prepaid Aftercare 1 day a week $128
Prepaid Aftercare 2 days a week $252
Prepaid Aftercare 3 days a week $375
Prepaid Aftercare 4 days a week $488
Prepaid Aftercare 5 days a week $600

Drop-in Aftercare

We strongly recommend that all Manitou families enroll their children in the drop-in aftercare program now. This will allow you to use our aftercare system if you need to at any point during the school year. 

If you only need aftercare occasionally and not on a consistent basis, we suggest that you enroll your child in the drop-in aftercare program.  Enrollment for Drop-in Aftercare requires you to:

  • Confirm that you understand Manitou Aftercare policies and payment structures
  • Provide us with the names of people who are authorized to pick up your child from aftercare. 

You will only be billed when your child attends aftercare. 

On the days that you need your child to use drop-in aftercare, you need to update your child’s schedule using Curacubby. Curacubby makes it much easier for teachers, staff, and parents to all get on the same page when a dismissal change occurs. It is important that you make these changes so that everyone is clear on where your child should be at all times.

Drop-in Aftercare (per day) $38

 

Late Pick-Up Fees

Late for School Dismissal Fee: Classroom teachers have other commitments and responsibilities at the end of the school day. If your child is scheduled to be picked up at the end of the school day and you are 10+ minutes late, your child will be sent to aftercare automatically. You will receive a bill for the drop-in aftercare rate ($38).

 

Late Aftercare Pickup Fee: Please ensure that your child is picked up by 5:30 pm sharp. If you are late, you will be charged a $38 fee. If you are late more than twice, Manitou reserves the right to withdraw your eligibility to participate in our aftercare program.
