We know managing your family’s schedule (and budget) can be a lot, so we’ve laid out all the details about our program and fees right here. Whether you’re checking out program costs or looking for info on extra charges, you’ll find everything you need below.
Late Pick Up Fee
All children must be picked up by 6:00 p.m. sharp, according to the Kids Club clock. Parents/guardians will be billed for late pick-up at the rate of $25.00 every 15 minutes starting at 6:00 p.m., or a fraction thereof, per child. Late fees are due upon receipt and will be subjected to non-payment penalty fee if not paid after 2 weeks.
Three late pick-ups will automatically result in termination of the program. The emergency contact person listed in the authorized pickups will be called to pick up the child if they parent./guardian cannot be reached. if the child is not picked up within 1/2 hour by the parent or authorized adult, the police department WILL be called.
NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE INCLUDING LATE PICK UPS DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, TRAFFIC, AND WORK SCHEDULES!
Late Start Fee
School will begin two hours late for all students on selected dates. Omaha Public Schools (OPS) staff will use this time for data-driven work to enhance teaching and learning across the district.
Late Start 2025-26 Dates
Coming Soon!
Kids Club will be available during these late start days only for students registered in an AM session. Students may arrive anytime between 6:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and will receive breakfast provided by OPS. Breakfast will not be provided to students who are not enrolled in a before-school program.
To accommodate the extended care services provided during these weeks, an additional fee will apply for Kids Club participants. The rates are as follows:
Late Start Additional Fee
AM/PM & AM-Only Registrants: $10
Scholarship AM/PM & AM-Only Registrants: $5
This fee will be automatically applied to your account on the Monday of each week with a late start.
Non-Payment Penalty Fee
If payment remains outstanding after two weeks, a $25 non-payment fee will be applied to your account.
If your account is more than two weeks past due with no payment or communication, any child(ren) enrolled will not be allowed to attend until the balance is paid in full.
If non-payment fee has been applied and no payment has been made or if account has been charged 3 non-payment fees, registration WILL be cancelled at the discretion of the OPSF office and all future registrations must be approved.
Drop In Fee
A $25 drop-in fee per child, per day will be applied for attendance outside of their scheduled session (Ex: They are registered for AM only and attended a PM session). All drop-ins must be approved and paid for prior to attending the session to ensure proper staffing and resources for your child(ren).
*Please note that drop in fees after payment is made is non-refundable.

Suspension Payment Policy
If your child is suspended from the program, the regular rate for the days or weeks of suspension will still apply. Failure to pay for the week(s) during the suspension period will result in the cancellation of your registration. This policy ensures that your child's spot in the program is held during the suspension period.
