Membership
Q: |
What membership levels do you offer? |
A: |
Basic: Our Basic membership level, also referred to as Activities-Only Membership, allows registered members to attend Activity Meetings, which are held every-other week. Activites vary throughout the year (for more info, you can browse our calendar). Current Basic Membership Cost: $9/family (annually) + costs of attendance to individual Activity Meetings Enrolled/Enrolled Plus: Our Enrolled membership levels include enrollment in our enrichment classes, which are held on alternating weeks. Families can choose between attending only the Class Meetings held every-other week, or a Weekly Membership that combines the benefits of the Basic and standard Enrolled memberships (thus, families will attend either a Class Meeting or an Activity Meeting every week). As classes and activities are held on the same day of the week (and almost always at the same time), you can plan it into your weekly schedule. Current Enrolled Membership Cost: $9/family (annually) + $3.50/student (monthly; toddlers are half-price) + costs of attendance to individual Activity Meetings |

To communicate your absence, please contact the co-op leadership directly as soon as possible.
