FAQ about Kids' Corner

  1. When can I sign my child up for Kids’ Corner Childcare? Enrollment for Kids’ Corner begins mid-April. The KC Enrollment Form link will be available in the Home Communicator and on the website. You will need to submit your Enrollment Form online with your $40 deposit or bring in your $40 deposit to the Early Childhood Office to hold your spot. Enrollment will be done on a first come, first serve basis.
  2. Will I be charged for childcare if my child does not attend on his/her scheduled day? If your child does not attend Kids’ Corner on one of his/her scheduled days, you will still be charged. However, each family will receive 3 credit days that can be used anytime throughout the year.  So, if your child does not attend on a scheduled day, you will be able to use a credit day to waive your charges.
  3. Will childcare be offered on snow days? No.  If Hudsonville Christian is closed, Kids’ Corner will also be closed. If there is a 2-hour delay, Kids’ Corner will also have a 2-hour delay and open at 9:00 am for the kids that are regularly scheduled to come that day.
  4. Will my younger child (0-2 years old) be able to attend? No, Kids’ Corner Childcare will only be licensed for ages 3 and up and is only available for students that are enrolled at HCS.
  5. Will my child nap at Kids’ Corner?  Yes. A quiet time of at least 30 minutes will be offered each afternoon.
  6. Will my child be able to play outside while he/she attends Kids’ Corner? Yes! Children will be given the opportunity to play outside every day (weather permitting).
  7. May my child attend Kids’ Corner on days that he/she does not attend preschool? Yes. As long as your child is enrolled at HCS, you are welcome to sign your child up for Kids’ Corner any day of the week (based on availability).
  8. When will school-age (Young 5s- 5th Grade) children be let out on the playground during Before School Care?  Each morning, HCS provides adult supervision on the playground before school, beginning at 7:30 am.
