COST OF PROGRAM – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Jericho Partnership is committed to keeping our After-School Learning Program affordable for Danbury Public School families. On average, it costs Jericho about $75 per child, per week, to operate the program. We understand that paying this full amount could place a financial burden on families, so we have developed a plan to help make the program more affordable.
Step 1: Apply for Care4Kids
If your child is under 13 years of age, apply for Care4Kids funding.
If approved, Care4Kids will pay all or part of your child’s fee.
If denied or placed on a waiting list, you may apply for a Jericho Scholarship to help reduce the cost.
If you opt NOT to apply for Care4Kids, and your child will be age 5-12, the Program Cost will be $70/month per child. ($50/month if they attend at Maple Avenue)
The price is the same every week — even for:
- Half-days
- Weather or emergency closures
- Weeks your child does not attend
This is because we are holding your child’s spot and cannot offer it to another student.
Step 2: Apply for Jericho Scholarship
If you have applied for Care4Kids and have either been denied or placed on the waiting list, or if your child is 13 years old and over, please let us know and you will be eligible for the Jericho Scholarship. (NOTE - we WILL require proof of application to C4K.) This scholarship will be awarded to EVERYONE who applies and will bring your fee down to $35/month per child for elementary students or $20/month per child for Middle and High School students.
We do have a family max of no more than $55/month, per family, providing you apply for Care4Kids if your child is under age 13.
