Waiting List
Due to waiting lists at most sites, please notify the KIDS WEST office when you wish to discontinue childcare services.

Temporary Discontinuance
If you wish to discontinue service temporarily but want to hold a place for your child, please notify the KIDS WEST office. Your child’s place in the program will be held under the following conditions:

• for two weeks of non-participation per school year at no charge. After two weeks of non-participation (vacation) you must pay the minimum weekly payment per child to hold a place in the program. This policy continues through the last day of school of the school year.

• during winter or spring break full-day care.  KIDS WEST full-day care is optional and payment is not required if your child is not scheduled to attend. If winter break begins during a week, payment is required for the days school is in session. The two weeks of non-participation at no charge (see above) are in addition to non-participation in full-day care.

• during family emergencies. Please notify the KIDS WEST office as soon as possible if your child or a primary caregiver (parent or guardian) is hospitalized and your child will not be attending KIDS WEST. Other family emergencies include the child's extended illness, the child's mother's maternity leave, either parent's sudden unemployment and funerals.

Extended Discontinuance
To discontinue service for an extended period of time, contact the KIDS WEST office. You must begin paying the minimum weekly payment to hold a place after two weeks of non-participation. If you choose not to pay the fee your child’s name will be placed on a waiting list and re-admitted to KIDS WEST as space allows.
