1)  Q How it tuition calculated?
A
EDP tuition is calculated based on the number of operational days in the school year and divided into 10 equal monthly installments. Tuition Rates include all Vacation Programs, Professional Day Programs, and Early Release Day Programs that fall on your regularly scheduled days.
2)  Q How do I schedule a Drop-In day?
A
No notice is needed to Drop-In during MORNING Extended Day. 
To add a Drop-In day for Afternoon Extended Day please call our office at 508-836-7765 or email our office to let us know (please email both Brittany (martinb@westboroughk12.org) and Dawn (carlod@westboroughk12.org), and send a note to your child's school. Notice must be given by noon of the day you require a drop-in. 
Drop-In days will be billed at the end of the month.
3)  Q Is there an hourly rate offered?
A
No, we do not offer an hourly rate.
4)  Q Is snack/drink provided?
A
No, parents are responsible for supplying an after school snack and drink for their child/children. 
Parents are also responsible for supplying lunch, drinks and snacks for their child/children if they attend Early Release Day and/or Full Day Programs.
5)  Q Are there refunds/credit if my child does not attend a regularly scheduled day?
A
No, there are no refunds for missed scheduled days (however there is no charge to cancel a scheduled 'drop-in' day.) 
This policy is for all days that fall on your child's regular schedule (including Early Release/Full Day Programs).
6)  Q Who do I notify if my child will not be attending a scheduled day?
A
If your child will not be attending a scheduled day please call our office at 508-836-7765 or email our office to let us know (please email both Brittany (martinb@westboroughk12.org) and Dawn (carlod@westboroughk12.org), and let your child's school know as well. 
Failure to notify us of an absence from the program will result in a $25 fee.
7)  Q How much notice is required to reduce days or withdraw from the program?
A
Schedule change requests must be made in writing to the Community Education office by the 20th of the month for any changes happening the next month, otherwise you will remain financially obligated for your current schedule through the next month. This applies to anyone who is withdrawing from the program or to anyone who is reducing the number of days their child attends. No advanced notice is required to increase the number of days your child attends. Please email Brittany Martin at martinb@westboroughk12.org to make a schedule change.
8)  Q Do you offer tuition assistance?
A
The Westborough Community Education Programs (WCEP) has a contract with Child Care Resource Center for child care vouchers. A voucher provides state funds to subsidize the cost of child care for income-eligible parents who are working or attending school. Contact the Child Care Resource Center at (617) 547-1063 or visit www.ccrcinc.org for more information. 
WCEP also provides financial assistance for those in need. Please contact the Disctrict Billing Coordinator, for a Financial Assistance application at 508-836-7720 or at billing@westboroughk12.org All information will be kept confidential. Eligibility will be determined by the Director of Finance and Administration.
9)  Q Do the Extended Day Programs have a cap or waiting list?
A
These programs do not typically have a cap - we will hire more staff to keep the proper 1:13 ratio. However, if staffing or space becomes an issue we will close registrations and create a waitlist.
10)  Q Where are Full Day Programs held?
A
All Full Day Programs (for all EDP students) are held at Mill Pond School. The programs will be open from 7:30 am - 6:00 pm.
