Attendance schedules are due by 11:59pm on Mondays two weeks in advance, unless an early due date has been posted. However, we strongly encourage all families to schedule all care that will be needed for the school year when they register for the program.
Attendance schedules submitted after the deadline will automatically be added to a waiting list regardless of the reason why. You will be notified by email only if the childcare site is able to accommodate your child. Late schedules that are approved will be charged a $20 late schedule fee with no exceptions.
You will be able to submit information about your child's health concerns, required medications and/or special needs via the question template completed at the time of registration. If you need to update any of the submitted information after the start of the program (school year or summer care), please contact the EdVenture Club Central office at edventureclub@isd728.org.
Sliding fee scales, scholarships, etc., are not offered through EdVenture Club.
EdVenture Club is approved to receive Child Care Assistance (CCAP) with most counties.
Childcare accounts will be invoiced by 4:30pm on Thursday of the week prior to scheduled attendance week, at which point payments can be submitted via your online Eleyo childcare account (if not enrolled in automatic payments).
● Payments are due by 6:00pm on Friday of the week prior to planned attendance week and must be submitted online; cash and check payments will not be accepted. Automatic payments will be processed on Friday morning of the week prior to planned attendance week.
● A late payment fee of $20 per week will be automatically applied to your childcare account on the invoice if the balance is not paid 6:00pm on Friday prior to planned attendance week.
● If payment is past due, your child will be removed from future scheduling and not be allowed attend until all payments and late fees are paid.
Automatic payments are only sent to your bank's institution one time, not multiple times.
If there is a problem with your automative payment the primary account holder will be sent an email notification at which point you should access your online eleyo account and make a manual payment and also update your automatic payment if needed.
Most automatic payments from a credit card or checking account are declined due to insufficient funds, closed accounts or other things of this nature.
There are many ways to submit payments for EdVenture Club weekly fees:
Quick Pay is a feature within the Child Care module that allows people to make a payment on the Public side without being an owner on a particular Child Care Account. The person does need to create their own profile and login credentials for the district website. Having a login and using Quick Pay does not give the person access to the account (i.e. they can not make schedule changes, request drop-in care, view invoices, etc). Using Quick Pay will only allow access to make payments. Any details about the amount that needs to be paid or the invoice balance due should be provided by the account owner.
In order to use Quick Pay, the person would need the following:
For security reasons, if the payer does not have the required information, it is recommended that they contact the account owner to obtain it.
When the payer is logged into the Public side using their email address and password, they can access Quick Pay by selecting Explore All Programs then the Program name. Quick Pay will be displayed in the from the explore bar. If using a mobile device, it is accessed by selecting the Menu (with the compass icon) on the left then Explore Programs. Next, select the Program name then Quick Pay from the explore bar.
Once Quick Pay is selected, a screen similar to the one below is displayed. When the person has entered the Child Care Account number and child's last name and selects Continue, a field to enter the desired amount will be displayed followed by the normal checkout screens. The payment will automatically be applied to that specific Child Care Account and the Program that was originally selected from the browse bar. A receipt is automatically emailed to the payer. The receipts for any payments can also be found online under the Your History section.

CLICK HERE to view and modify saved payment methods associated with your ISD 728 Community Education Eleyo account. To opt out of EdVenture Club automatic payments, click Modify and un-check the box for Automatic Payments for Edventure Club. NOTE: If you opt out of automatic payments, you will be responsible for logging in each week and submitting payments manually. Manual payments can be submitted after the week's invoice is created by office staff (by 5:00pm on Thursday of the week prior to attendance). Manual payments are due by 6:00pm on Friday of the week before scheduled attendance.
If you receive County Childcare Assistance(CCAP), the EdVenture Club office must receive an official "Notice of Decision" document from the county before your child may begin to attend. If financial assistance is cancelled, you will be responsible for all expenses incurred. If you receive financial assistance, you assume responsibility for fulfilling county requirements, including providing information and childcare schedules, submitting timely reports and making payments not covered by the financial assistance program. An alternative schedule for invoicing and payments will apply for families receiving County Childcare Assistance. You will be provided with a payment schedule prior to the start of school.
Once you've created your childcare account, additional account holders may be added to the account by request. This is a convenient option for dual household families but must be approved by both parties. Each account holder will have their own password to access the account. Both account holders may enroll in automatic payments for weekly fees.

EDVENTURE CLUB-DISCOVERY LEARNING
You or another authorized person must use your family’s assigned On-Site Security Code and the iPad at your child’s site to sign your child in and out of EdVenture Club each day. Your On-Site Security Code will be provided in your confirmation email and can also be found in your childcare account (CLICK HERE). It is your responsibility to share your family’s On-Site Security Code with all other persons authorized to sign your child in and out of EdVenture Club.
Your child will not be allowed to check themselves in or out of EdVenture Club.
Only legal-age adults (18 or older) will be permitted to pick up or drop off your child. Some exceptions may apply; please contact the EdVenture Club Central office for explanation. You and other authorized persons may be asked to show identification before your child will be released from EdVenture Club’s care. Please do not take offense to this measure; it is instituted for the safety of all. It is your responsibility to maintain the list of people authorized to pick up your child. This list can be managed through your online Eleyo account. EdVenture Club cannot restrict a parent from picking up their own child/children. It is your responsibility to provide the EdVenture Club office with documentation of court orders that restrict named individual(s) from picking up your child. This documentation must include start and expiration dates.
Any item that disrupts the learning environment, including electronic devices and cell phones, will not be tolerated and may be confiscated. The first time this occurs, an item may be returned to your child at the end of the program session. Repeated offenses may result in the items(s) being returned to parents only.
If your child is going to be absent, please notify the EdVenture Club office and your child’s EdVenture Club site. Failure to notify the appropriate staff of your child’s absence from after school care will result in lost-child procedures with local authorities. Your site contact number can be found in the confirmation emails you receive after your schedule has been approved as well as the last page of the policy handbook (Grades K-5 & EdVenture Club-Discovery Learning).
Business cards with email and phone number can be found at each of our site locations for easy reference.
Please make every effort to pick up your child by the closing time. If an emergency delays you and you are going to be late picking up your child, make plans for someone you have designated as an Authorized Pickup person to pick up your child on time and call the program staff immediately. Beginning at 6 minutes after closing time, a Late Pick-Up fee of $1 per minute will be applied to your childcare account.
Chronic late pick-ups or extreme lateness can result in other penalties, including exclusion from the program.
A snack and juice is provided daily during each before school and after school program period. Students attending EdVenture-Club Discovery Learning will receive a morning and afternoon snack. If your child will be participating in the school breakfast program please notify your site lead.
Site staff members will greet you and inform you of any specific notes related to your student and their experiences that day (behavior, questions, etc.). Please watch for emails, handouts at the site, display board signage or other information that may be sent home with your student or mailed to your home. Emails will be sent to the address on your childcare account. Our intent is to keep you up-to-date about program changes, program needs and account information.
Visitors are not being accepted at EdVenture Club.
Food allergies can be life-threatening. The risk of accidental exposure to foods can be reduced in the EdVenture Club setting if parents and physicians work with EdVenture Club staff to minimize risks and provide a safe environment for students with food allergies. “Safe Eating Zones” practices will be used, as needed, in the cafeteria. For example, we will try to encourage students with food allergies to sit in a specific area and we will try to monitor students’ lunches next to and across from that student. We encourage you to note ALL allergies when registering for EdVenture Club and keep the EdVenture Club office informed of any changes in your child's needs.
Medications that are necessary during the course of the day must be sent in a current prescription bottle with the doctor’s directions printed on it. Only designated staff will have access and authority to administer the medications and will only give the dosages as printed on the label. Completion of a “Medications Form” is also required and must be turned in to the office or site. A health policy guideline is available upon request.
In the event of illness or injury, every reasonable attempt will be made to contact the parent(s)/guardian(s). If we are unable to reach the parent/guardian, we will then contact those listed as emergency contacts in your child’s account. If the illness or injury is deemed more extensive, emergency treatment will be sought by calling 911, and, if transport is required, the student may be accompanied by a staff member to the nearest emergency facility.
Your child must be fully toilet-trained in order to attend the program. We are unable to physically change diapers due to student contact rules. Your child will be allowed to use a “Pull-Up” only during nap time and only if they are able to put it on and take it off without assistance.
No Contact Policy EdVenture Club child care staff are not allowed to physically handle children in our care.
