Kinderclub FAQs
|
DO I NEED TO FILL OUT ONE REGISTRATION FORM FOR EACH CHILD?
Yes, fill out one form per child.
IS MY CHILD ENROLLED IN KINDERCLUB AFTER I SUBMIT THE REGISTRATION FORM?
The registration form is the first step of enrollment. You will receive a Kinderclub Participant Agreement and a Kinderclub Behavioral Agreement. Your child will be enrolled once both forms are signed and returned to Kinderclub.
HOW DO I PAY THE ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE?
If you indicated in the registration form that you would like to register for KC, a registration fee will be billed to your account in Boonli. Payment is expected to be made by the next monthly order window.
HOW DO I RESERVE MY CHILD'S "SPOT" IN KINDERCLUB?
Monthly ordering is how you ensure that your child has a space in Kinderclub for any given day or time. Please update your child's dismissal mode in Pikmykid accordingly.
DOES MY ORDER IN BOONLI AUTOMATICALLY APPLY A DISMISSAL CHANGE IN PIKMYKID?
NO.
It is the parent's responsibility to provide accurate dismissal instructions through Pikmykid. Boonli is used for pre-ordering and drop-in billing purposes. WHEN DO I ORDER KINDERCLUB SERVICES?
The order period opens around the 15th of every month and will stay open Monday through Sunday. The monthly ordering window is communicated school-wide via email and in the Elternbrief. You can log into your account at any time to order additional services or get a cancellation refund for any days that remain open due to an rolling order window.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MONTHLY ORDER WINDOW AND THE ROLLING ORDER WINDOW?
Monthly Order Window:
- Opens once a month for the upcoming month - Ordering is possible for all days of the upcoming month Rolling Order Window: - Stays open for a part of the upcoming month after the monthly order window has closed - Ordering is possible with a delayed start (for days/weeks that are not locked (not grey)) - One additional week locks every Sunday at midnight I MISSED THE MONTHLY ORDER WINDOW. WHAT DO I DO?
Log into your Boonli account and submit an order for days that are not locked (white). Update dismissal mode in Pikmykid for ALL days. Drop-in rates will be billed retroactively in Boonli for not pre-ordered days that your child went to KC. Payment is expected to be made during the next monthly order window.
