Vacation Care Programs
PJA Afterschool offers full-day vacation day care on most days when school is closed for in-services, conferences, seasonal breaks and on some federal holidays. During vacation care days we offer a variety of in-house activities that may include special guests, presentations, theme related movies, special snacks and more!
Vacation Care tuition package is offered by term (Fall, Winter and Spring) at one or more of our locations. A term-commitment of three months is $105 per month. Individual days may be made available to enroll in at a cost of $70 for current afterschool regular tuition members and $95 for non-members.
These programs may be offered at any of our four locations, depending on overall enrollment and staff availability. If enrollment is lower than 9 children, the day will be canceled or moved to another location no later than one week in advance.
