You can pay your child care bill  online with Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express credit/debit cards. The link to the website (CASHNet) is posted on our home page and works best with Internet Explorer.  As of 5/9/2013, CASHNet began charging a 2.75% convenience fee for this service.

Hummingbird Roundup:  Join our local Portneuf Valley Audubon on Sunday, June 2 for a field trip to the Rudeen Ranch to watch hummingbirds being caught, examined and banded.  For more information, go to www.hummingbirdroundup.com .

As the weather gets warmer...please remember that we do not allow flip-flops or open-toe sandals for children at the ELC !  Too many children get injured when wearing them, and they are not suitable for climbing, running, hiking, etc.  Children need to wear sturdy, closed-toe, low-heeled, non-skid shoes so they won't be hindered in their daily activities.

Registration:    Registration is open for both summer and fall.  Enrollment packets can be acquired at the front desk.

Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP): A family of four earning up to $3,554 per month may qualify for this low or no-cost children’s health insurance. Children must be under the age of 19 and be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Families can go to www.coveringidahokids.com to learn more.

Campbell Soup Labels: We participate in the “Labels for Education” program, so save those labels and bring them in! All we need is the UPC code, not the whole label. Thank you!

ICCP Recipients: Remember to fill out a Monthly Dependent Care Charge form every semester and every time you change your schedule.
