This enables us to find out their individual levels of development so we can focus on meeting everyone’s needs. The curriculum used is packed with activities for both academic and social growth. We also incorporate weekly Bible stories and verses into our routine and provide a loving, positive, Christian atmosphere for your child to learn in.

DROP-IN SERVICE

We are very excited to be the first in the area to provide this unique service! The idea behind the “Drop-In Service” is to help the families in our community who have occasional child care needs.

• We want to reach out to the stay-at-home moms who deserve a break once in a while, need to make a doctor or other appointment and don’t want to have a child or two in tote;
• What do you do with the school-age child who has a day off of school due to fog;
• An unexpected event has occurred (i.e. funeral) and you need a place for the children for a day;
• Your regular babysitter cancels on you last minute due to illness.
• You lost your job and need to spend a day going to submit applications or attend interviews.

$35.00 Registration Fee PER FAMILY

 

AGE	2 Hours or Less	2 to 4 Hours	More than 4 Hours
6 weeks to 2 – 3 yrs (not potty trained)	$ 14	$ 17	$ 36
2 – 3 yrs to 5 yrs (fully potty trained)	$ 12	$ 15	$ 31
School-Age Children 6 yrs and older	$ 10	$ 13	$ 28

Fees are flat rates, not hourly.

For example, if you brought your 15-month-old for 2 hrs. & 15 minutes, you would pay $17.

All payments are expected at pick-up on the day of service, no exceptions.

 

Multi-Child Discount:       Youngest child pays full rate, each additional child pays 50% of their rate.  For example, the total cost for 3 hours of care for

1 infant and 1 potty trained 3-yr-old would be $ 24.50 ($ 17 + $ 7.50).

Registered through the state of Indiana, Yellow Creek Daycare is a safe, loving, nurturing and caring environment for

your children from the age of 6 weeks through age 12 years, including before and after school care.
