School Age Care

Caring for kids before and after school

Adventure Club school age care program is designed to meet the needs of working families by providing high quality child care before and after school for students preschool through grade 5. All-day care is offered on non-school days and in the summer at select sites. Drop-in child care may also be available.

We offer a separate Spin program in the summer for students entering grades 4-7. During the school year, Spin programming for older students is offered where registration of fourth and fifth grade students meets the minimum enrollment requirement.

A variety of activities in a youth-friendly atmosphere to match the interests of each child is the hallmark of this daily program that focuses on curriculum, emotional, social, physical and intellectual growth. Projects incorporate learning opportunities across the curriculum—reading, math, science, health and physical education. The curriculum is also infused with social skills development, people and cultures, dramatic play, and arts and crafts. In addition to this, off-site field trips and special events take place throughout the year.

Enrollment Options

Enrollment is guaranteed assuming that the registration requirements have been met, there is space available for care, and we have received your online registration.

School Year Contract Options:

School Year Contract Options:

Option 1 - Consistent Schedule: Families can sign up for a mix of AM and PM programming periods with the same schedule every week. You are charged for the days of care you have contracted for, whether your child attends or not. Requests for schedule changes can be made online, but will require a $20 schedule change fee, and will be accepted on a space available basis. In addition, all changes require a two-week processing period before a child’s new schedule takes effect.
Option 2 - Pick Your Days: Families can sign up for ALL of their days at the beginning of the school year or submit a monthly contract online no later than the 15th of the previous month.
Drop-In Care - Only available with a current contract: Request a day as needed with at least 24 hours notice. Our online system will allow families to request days with three days advance notice. If families need more immediate assistance, they must contact their child’s Site Lead either in writing or verbally. Enrollment is based on available space. There is no guarantee that we will have space available for your child(ren).
Option 3 - Non-School Day Only: Families can sign up for this contract if they are interested in signing up for non-school days only. Non-school day registration opens approximately 6 weeks before the non-school day, and registration must be received at least 2 weeks prior to given non-school day.

Summer Contract:

Our Summer Contract is based on the days you need care. Families are presented with dates that our summer program is available at the time of registration. Pick the dates you will need care when registering. Omit days care is not needed (i.e. grandparent visit, vacations, camps, etc.). Once you have picked your days and the registration deadline has been reached, you will not be able to remove or exchange days. Additional days may be added by requesting Drop-In care.

District-Wide Non-School Days:

Adventure Club offers all day services when school is not in session at select sites. NSD care is open from 6 am- 6 pm. You must be registered for Adventure Club in order to request a NSD. Registration must be completed through our online registration system. Registrations must be received at least two weeks prior to given NSD.

If you register for a NSD and then have a change in plans, please notify us immediately. If it is less than two weeks prior you will be charged for that day.

Non-district, Non-resident Student Enrollment:

Students who are enrolled in schools outside of Stillwater Area Public Schools can register with a non-school day only contract to attend non-school days. Summer Adventure Club programming is open to students who are enrolled outside of Stillwater Area Public Schools.

COVID-19 and Adventure Club

Medical Forms

Authorization to Administer Medication form
If a child is required to take a prescription or over the counter medication during Adventure Club hours, we must have an Authorization to Administer Medication form signed by a physician and the parent.

Allergy Plan form
When you register for Adventure Club, you will be asked if your child has allergies and whether or not your child needs an allergy plan. Check yes that you need an allergy plan if your child has a severe allergy that staff will need to be aware of and/or a response plan that requires medication (epi pen, benadryl, etc). Check no if your child has an allergy that you just want us to be aware of, but it does not require a care plan (dogs/cats, mild seasonal allergies, etc). If you check yes to needing an allergy plan, you will need to fill out the Allergy Plan form below.

Contract and Schedule Change Information - Vacation and Dual Enrollment Credit Requests

School Year - Contract Changes

There are three types of contracts, Consistent Schedule, Pick Your Days and Non-School Day Only. If you need to change your contract, fill out a Contract/Schedule Change request online through your Adventure Club account at least two weeks prior to the change. Changes to your Contract Type will only be approved if there is space available. A $20 processing fee per contract will be charged to your account.

Schedule Changes

Changes to your child’s daily schedule can be made online in the Eleyo system by logging into your account. Eleyo does not allow changes to be requested for a month that has been invoiced. If you want the change to occur in two weeks and the system is not allowing it, you will need to email adventureclub@stillwaterschools.org. A $20 processing fee per contract will be charged to your account.

School Year -- We require a two-week notice for changes to your schedule. Changes to contracted days within a Consistent Schedule care plan will result in a $20 per contract processing fee beginning after the registration deadline. Changes to contracted days will only be approved if there is space available. There are no additional processing fees for changing Pick Your Days if submitted online by the 15th of each month.

Summer -- Changes to your scheduled dates will be accepted through the registration deadline. After that date you can add Drop in Care if space is available by submitting a request in the Eleyo system. Exchanging or eliminating days is not allowed after the deadline.

Vacation Request (school year only)

Vacation credit is for non-use of service. To receive vacation credit, you must be on a Consistent Schedule contract. Submit a Vacation Credit Request online two weeks before your vacation begins. Sorry… vacation time cannot be substituted for absence. You may receive one day of credit per child for each day you are contracted in a one-week period. Credit will be given AFTER the vacation dates. Vacation credit does not apply to the summer program.

Dual Enrollment Credit

Families who have a child in the Adventure Club program and are subsequently
signed up for a paid Stillwater Community Ed class, may receive a credit for the time they are
away from Adventure Club. Parents must fill out the Dual Enrollment form before the class
starts. Credits will be given after the class concludes and attendance has been verified. The
amount of the credit is based on the hours the child is gone. The class must be a minimum of one hour in length. Classes lasting for more than one hour but less than three will receive a 25% tuition credit. Classes lasting more than three hours will receive a 35% tuition credit.
