    2. Manual payments: CLICK HERE to sign in to your EdVenture Club dashboard and click Pay under Latest Invoice
    3. Quick Pay: CLICK HERE to submit a payment via Quick Pay. Any payer with an 728 Community Ed Eleyo account may use your child's childcare account number to submit a Quick Pay payment. They do not need to be associated with your child's account, making this a convenient option for grandparents or other family members who wish contribute to childcare fees.
  • EdVenture Club 2.3a How to I use Quick Pay option if I am not the Account Holder

    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:

    • Personal login credentials to the district website
    • Child Care Program Name
    • Child Care Account Number
    • Student's Last Name

    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.

  • EdVenture Club 2.4: How do I update the saved payment method used for EdVenture Club automatic payments?

    CLICK HERE to view or modify the saved payment method(s) associated with your 728 Community Education EdVenture Club Eleyo account.

  • EdVenture Club 2.7: Where do I find year-end tax summaries for EdVenture Club payments?

    If you have paid for child care or preschool over the course of the previous year, Eleyo automatically generates tax statements for each program you have enrolled in. These statements can be downloaded from your account dashboard and will become available after January 1st of each year.

  • EdVenture Club 3.0: How do we set up a dual household account?

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.

    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 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 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.

    Electronic devices are easily stolen and rarely recovered. EdVenture Club cannot be held liable for lost or stolen items and has no responsibility to provide a secure location for such items or to provide assistance if these items are lost or stolen. All personal items must be labeled with your child’s name.
  • EdVenture Club 4.4: Do I need to notify EdVenture Club if my child will miss a regularly scheduled day of childcare?

    If your child is going to be absent, please notify the EdVenture Club office and/or your child’s EdVenture Club site.

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.

  • EdVenture Club 4.5: What if I am unable to pick up my child by the program closing time?

    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.

  • EdVenture Club 4.9: What are the policies for visitors?

    Visitors are not being accepted at EdVenture Club. 

  • EdVenture Club 5.0: How does EdVenture Club manage food allergies?

    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. 

  • EdVenture Club 5.1: What are the policies for medications my child needs during EdVenture Club?

    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.

  • EdVenture Club 5.2: What are the policies for illness or injuries?

    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 will be accompanied by a staff member to the nearest emergency facility.

  • EdVenture Club 5.3: What are the policies for toilet training?

    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.

  • EdVenture Club 6.0: What are the policies for inclement weather?

    The following policies are in place to ensure the safety of your child(ren) and our staff. Please note that it may be necessary to have back-up care in the event that EdVenture Club is closed. In the event that the weather conditions force ISD 728 schools to close, EdVenture Club sites will be closed. If schools declare a late start, sites will open at 8am. If schools dismiss early, sites will also be closed the remainder of the day. In the event that weather conditions worsen or are declared dangerous once students are at EdVenture Club, we may be forced to close early. If this occurs, parents or guardians will be called to pick up their students. If there is inclement weather on a day of scheduled Non-School Day care, EdVenture Club sites may be closed, have a late start, or an early dismissal. No refunds will be given for weather-related closures. 
  • EdVenture Club 7.0: What are the policies for discipline and dismissal?

    RULES AND DISCIPLINE The general rules and expectations will be covered with the students. Discipline will be handled by the class instructors and Site Leaders in a fair and respectful manner. The following steps are used:
    • Inform the student of any inappropriate behavior and give them a warning. Remind them what behavior is expected.
    • At the time of the second occurrence, redirection within the activity may be given (cumulative throughout the day).
    • If the behavior continues, the student will be asked to leave the activity and will spend time with the Site Leader or childcare staff.
    • When warranted, the student may work through a written Discipline Form with the Site Leader(s).
    • Parental contact (if necessary) will be made either at the time of student pick-up or by telephone.
    See list of rules posted at the site for students and parents. In cases where a student is removed for a week, a day or partial day, refund is at the discretion of the Program Manager. DISMISSAL POLICY For serious and/or repeated behavior concerns, it may become necessary for a student to be removed from our program. If a student is having trouble being successful in the program, this may not be the best setting for that student. Since we are concerned with the well-being and safety of a large group of students, we need to consider what is best for all of them. Therefore, any of the following behaviors may be brought to the attention of ISD 728 administration and the District’s Police Liaison:
    • Verbal behavior – includes the use of curse words, harmful put-downs, name-calling, disrespect for others, racist or sexist language.
    • Physical violence against others – includes hitting, pushing, kicking, wrestling, biting, pinching, throwing objects at others or property.
    • Sexual behaviors – includes showing private parts, negative words about sexuality, inappropriate touching of self, students or staff.
    • Threatening behaviors – includes use of threats to do damage or harm to any other person(s) in the school or program, and/or threats of bringing or using a weapon at the program.
    Depending on the severity of the conduct, immediate removal from the program may be warranted, and will be at the discretion of the Program Manager with input from the program staff. Parents/Guardians will be called to immediately pick up their student from the program site, and will be given the reason for the student’s leave of absence from the program and the length of the leave or dismissal. Refund will be at the discretion of the Program Manager.
