We are encouraging all Pryme Tyme participants to enroll in our bank draft program, where payments are deducted from your bank account twice each month. To promote this time-saving feature, we are offering bank draft participants a discounted rate. Not only will this lower the amount you pay per year, but it will help you avoid costly late fees! See the registration form for more details.

**Payments are due Wednesday of the week before attending. Late payment of $10 is due if paying on Friday the week before and $15 is due if paying on Monday the week of. Children will be unable to return unless payment is made by Monday evening pickup.

The day runs from 7:30am – 6:30pm, with Early Drop-off available at 6am for an additional fee. Pre-registration is required for Dazzle Days, as most field trips will require prepaid tickets.
