GAP KIDS
AFTER SCHOOL & SUMMER MINISTRY
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a fun, safe, nurturing and Christ centered environment for school-aged children.
Hours
After School: 2:30pm-5:30pm
Full Days: 7:30am-5:30pm
Daily Activities
Our program is held on the campus of Gospel Baptist Church with access to a spacious homework room, a full size gymnasium, hiking trails and an outdoor playground. Children are given a snack and quiet time to work on their homework and assignments. Our summer program consists of theme weeks loaded with fun activities and field trips to entertain your child's imagination and to provide a new exciting atmosphere on a weekly basis.
Field Trips
There is an additional activity fee that covers all summer field trips. The summer activity fee will be listed in our summer calendar. We do schedule occasional field trips for full days during the school year and their costs are posted in advance for parents.

May be paid in two installments.

Second child is $10.00 daily. If a weekly payment is not received on the first day that your child attends for the week, a $5.00 late fee will be added to your account.
Full Day Rates
$30.00 daily (with a weekly minimum of $90.00). Second child is $20.00 daily. If a payment is not received on the first day that your child attends for the week, a $5.00 late fee will be added to your account.
Late Charges
If weekly payment is not received on the first day that your child attends for the week, a $5.00 late fee will be added to your account. If an account is three weeks behind a child will not be able to return until the account has been paid in full.
Absent Notification
You will not be charged for scheduled absences if we receive a one week (7 day) notice of the absence. However, if your child will be absent more than 2 days out of a week then you will still be charged the weekly minimum of $45.00 weekly for afterschool or $90.00 weekly for full days. If a child is absent without a one week (7 day) notice, you will be charged the full price for that day.
Pick Up
Your child may be picked up any time before 5:30pm. Please notify us on full days if you intend on picking your child up early, so that our staff can plan the daily activities accordingly. Parents are not asked to sign a child out (we prefer our staff to see each individual adult that is picking up a child and then our staff will record the necessary information). Parents may drop off children without entering our facility but are asked to wait until your child has entered the building before leaving (there is a door bell located at the GAP entrance on the south end of the building). Doors remain locked at all times.
Late Pick Up
If your child is picked up after 5:30pm you will be charged a $5.00 late fee for the first 10 minutes and will be charged an additional $1.00 for every 5 minutes thereafter.
Absences
Please leave a message at 336.317.3627 to notify us of your child's absences from school.
Discipline
We always look to praise a child for good behavior but when necessary our form of discipline is the "time out" method. Time out is always enforced in a loving and explanatory way. In extreme cases, a parent may be contacted to pick up their child or they may receive a behavior notice that explains the behavior that took place.
Holidays
A holiday schedule is given to parents at the beginning of every school year that lists the days GAP will be closed.
