HOURS

The Heffalump session runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. The program runs from the starting date in September (usually the first Tuesday after Labor Day) through the second or third Thursday in June, coincidental with the Palo Alto Unified School District calendar. Heffalump follows the Palo Alto Unified School District calendar with regard to school holidays and vacation.



graphicSCHEDULING

Minimum enrollment is three sessions per week, with a possible exception of up to two months at two sessions per week for newly enrolled younger children with no previous school experience. Children may also be enrolled for four or five sessions per week. A part-time schedule may be arranged to include any days of the week until full enrollment has closed any particular day.

graphicDROP-OFF AND PICK-UP TIMES

Drop off time is 9:00 to 9:15 a.m. In order to ensure punctuality for our program, children may not arrive after 9:30 a.m. unless prior arrangements have been made.

Please make sure that your child has a nutritious lunch packed, has extra clothes, and is dressed appropriately for the weather. You must sign your child in. Feel free to stay while your child settles in (you are welcome to visit whenever you wish), and make sure to call if your child is going to be late or absent.

Pick up time is 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. Late fees are charged for tardiness at pick-up time, which can be very distressing for a child and inconvenient for the staff. The late fee is $3.00 each five minutes for pick-ups after 2:00 p.m. Please call ahead if you know you’ll be late. Late fees may be waived for reasonable cause.
