Yinghua Academy Aftercare
What is Aftercare?
Aftercare is an after-school service provided for Yinghua families. Under the umbrella of Aftercare, for extra fees, we provide music lessons, enrichment classes, and tutoring. We also offer Homework First, which is free in the school library for students who are registered to go and work on their homework with Yinghua teachers.
While sports are offered under Athletics, not Aftercare, your child might need care after participating in their athletic program and before 6 PM. If that is your situation, then please register your child for Aftercare for the days that your child has athletic activities.
Aftercare is a spot for students to continue to grow, learn, and play in a safe clean environment they already know. During Aftercare, we offer students a snack, time to socialize with their peers, and opportunities to strengthen their skills while giving parents peace of mind. Please email us with any questions at aftercare@yinghuaacademy.org

Registration and Aftercare Policies
Registration Information for Aftercare
Pre-registration
Pre-registration through the Aftercare office is required for all childcare services. We do not offer drop-in Aftercare services. Aftercare Registration for School Year 2026-2027 will open August 10, 2026 at 12 AM and will close August 17th at 11:59 PM.
Proper Staff to Student Ratio
We want to ensure that all students have the opportunity to secure a slot for Aftercare. Unless there is a shortage of staff, every student registered during the registration window will be accommodated for the entire school year. Registering during the registration window helps us hire enough staff and prepare our Aftercare environment for optimal student and staff safety and care.
Registration is For the Entire School Year
We have made some changes to the registration process. There will no longer be Aftercare registration for each term. Registration during the registration window is for the full school year.
Student Pick-up After Extra-curricular Events
If your student is involved in an after school extra-curricular event (excluding classes, music lessons, or private tutoring), such as sports or DLO events, they must be picked up when the event ends unless they are registered for Aftercare that day. Students will not be automatically checked into Aftercare if they are not registered to be in Aftercare on the day of the event.
Contact Information
If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Aftercare office (ext. 135) or by email aftercare@yinghuaacademy.org
Changing Aftercare Registration
Aftercare Changes Can Only Be Made Two Weeks Prior to the Next Term
It is important to note that students may only attend Aftercare on the days they are registered for. If your work or family schedule changes from one Term to the next, you may request a change in registered Aftercare days. An email notifying the Aftercare Office is required and will be accepted only two weeks prior to the next term.
Your students registered Aftercare weekly schedule cannot change within a Term.
Your email request for change needs to contain the days you need to drop and the days you need to add for your student’s weekly Aftercare schedule. Please email the Aftercare Lead (aftercare@yinghuaacademy.org) with any questions in advance of registering, as you will be responsible to pay for the days your student is registered for.
Payment and Fees
Fees
The daily rate for Aftercare registration is $20.00 per day unless the student qualifies for “free lunch” or “reduced lunch.” A student who qualifies for “free lunch” is charged $10 per day, and a student who qualifies for “reduced lunch” is charged $14 a day. Please be aware that students are charged the Aftercare fee for the days they are registered for, regardless of early departures, late check-ins following activity participation or absence from school.
Invoices
You will be invoiced at the end of every month for the Aftercare services you have registered your student for. There is no upfront fee collected for Aftercare, and therefore, there is no cancellation penalty if you withdraw your child from the service. However, please note that past due fees must still be paid even after canceling Aftercare enrollment.
Payment
Payment is expected on the 10th of the following month. If payment is not received, your child may no longer be eligible to participate in Aftercare services, and they may be excluded from participation in fee-based after school activities, such as sports or dances, until the balance is paid in full.
Aftercare General Policies and Behavior Policy

When registering your child for Aftercare, you will be asked to agree to the following:

I understand that I will be charged an Aftercare fee regardless if my child leaves school early, is attending an after school event or if they are absent.
BEING IN ARREARS
I understand that if I haven’t paid my child’s Aftercare fee, then they cannot participate in Aftercare until the balance is paid in full.
