SEMESTER DURATION?
After school is divided into two semesters – Fall/Winter, which runs from September to the end of January; Spring, which runs from February to the end of public school. You must re-register for the next semester to continue the program. You may register for any of our programs at any time (as long as there's a spot available). Your fees are prorated.
SCHOOL CLOSURES?
After school programs do not run on days that the NYC public school system is closed (including for bad weather). On those days we are likely to run day-long activities similar to our summer offerings, which are a separate fee. If we are unable to meet in person due to COVID shut downs, we will substitute online programming.
These closures are factored into our semester fees, thus there is no credit or make-ups for these days.
DROP INS and Makeups?
Our Afterschool programs build upon skills kids acquire through regular attendance. We do not allow drop ins, except in special cases.
We do offer make ups if we have advance notice. These make up sessions can not be accrued. If you do not schedule a make up session at the time of the absence or soon after, we reserve the right to not offer a make up session. If you notify us after the session is passed, a make up is not given except in the circumstances where it is an actual emergency.
Please inform us as soon as you know your child will be absent from after school. This is particularly important if your child gets picked up from school by our staff. To inform us, e-mail frontdesk@brooklyngamelab.com or call 718-788-1122.
ABSENT?
RUNNING LATE?
If you are running late to pick up your child, please call us at 718-788-1122. We charge a late pick up fee of $15 for pick ups that occur after 6:10 pm. This penalty increases to $1 for every minute late after 6:20 pm, unless prior special arrangement has been made.
