Secure your child's spot for a summer of fun, learning, and lasting memories. Register early, as class sizes are limited.

Special Notice about Summer Bus!

Special bus schedules: If you need to have a schedule that changes locations or days, you will need to secure each location and time as a separate bus route. This means that you will have to pay for a full bus schedule for each option. For example, if you want you child to picked up at home on Mon - Wed, but from a relatives house on Thu-Fri, you would have to pay for two full schedules at each location.

There are no refunds or credits for missed bus service.

We will send your bus and program invoice together. If you indicate that bus service is absolutely required in order to join the program and we cannot provide the bus service, we will then give you a credit if you are a member and a full refund if you are a non-member. Refunds and credits will be processed after approximately 2 weeks.

Bus Cancellation

You are required to pay 100% of the bus invoice as the cancellation fee from the 2nd day of your application. Cancellation by 12:00 midnight of the day of application will be free.

Joy Bus Change Fee: ¥ 5,000 per request (Please plan carefully!)
