Children’s Choice will be offering Summer Camp for 2024. Registration is now available in your parent portal: https://family.daycareworks.com/login.jsp

All families needing care over the summer must complete the registrations, even if you are currently registered for School-Year Care 2023-24. It can take up to 24 hours to process a registration, so please register as soon as possible. While you will need to select each week individually, you can add multiple weeks to one registration by clicking on the “+ Add More Programs” button at the confirmation questions page during the registration process.

Location: Children’s Choice will be at four different locations for Summer Camp:

• BANDELIER
• NORTH STAR
• JOHN BAKER
• INEZ*

*Please note that our Inez Summer Camp 2024 program will be located at Sombra Del Monte on June 3^rd through June 10^th, as Inez will still be finishing up their school year on those days*

Dates/Time: Monday, June 3^rd through Friday, August 2^nd from 7:00am to 6:00pm

We will be closed on Wednesday, June 19^th and Thursday, July 4^th, in observation of Juneteenth and Independence Day, respectively.

Children’s Choice will also be offering full-day care on Monday, August 5^th and Tuesday, August 6^th. There will be a separate registration for those days. Please keep an eye out for that.

Cost: We will be offering three different rates for Summer Camp:

• $38 per day
• $148 per week
• There is a 10% sibling discount off the second and subsequent children

If your child shows up to attend program on an unscheduled day, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate them. To avoid being turned away, please schedule all attendance in advance. If we do accept them on an unscheduled day, you may be asked to pick them up immediately if our attendance reaches capacity.

Registration Fee: There is a $20 Registration Fee that will be due by the first day of Summer Camp. If you are on a Child Care Assistance contract, this fee will be waived.

Billing/Scheduling: When you register, you will be asked to choose the weeks you would like, and then select the days you expect your child will attend for MOST of those weeks (you can change this later). You will then be billed either $38/day or $148/week, depending on the number of days you selected.

If you need to make changes, or cancel your registration, please email our Registration Manager Hunter at welcome@childrens-choice.org before the deadline, which is Thursday, May 23^rd. After this date, we will base our staffing schedule on this information and therefore will not be able to issue credits on your account for scheduled days not attended. We appreciate your understanding as this allows us to pay, train, and take very good care of the staff members who take very good care of your children. You will be financially responsible for your registrations, regardless of attendance. The only exception to this policy is:

If you have registered for days that you would like to cancel after the deadline and only if there is a family on our waitlist who also needs to schedule those days. We can then offer your scheduled days to that family on the waitlist.

Financial Assistance: New Mexico’s Early Childhood Education & Care Department (ECECD) is supporting families who need child care. The state has changed eligibility requirements in order to help as many families as possible. Please go to https://www.nmececd.org/child-care-assistance/ to see if you qualify. You can contact Sara Mestas for more information at sara@childrens-choice.org.

Please do not bring your child to the program if anyone in your household is sick.
