PURCHASE OF CARE PARENT CONTRACT

CHILD’S INFORMATION Legal First Name MI Legal Last Name

POC SITE NAME POC SITE NUMBER CHILD’s MCI # YMCA Camp VOYAGER 1890772200

Your authorization is only good for the location listed on the authorization. Switching to another YMCA location will require you to call your case worker to obtain a new authorization. This contract is specific to families who have current POC authorizations on file for the site their child attends and overrides any branch specific registration, payment or cancellation polices that may conflict with these. This contract will be followed for all periods that you maintain an active POC authorization for the site your child attends. If your POC authorization lapses at any time during your child’s attendance in the program, the polices listed in the enrollment packet/application will be in effect for any period of time that your child is not covered by POC.

• POC participants receive 100% financial assistance for a YMCA Program Membership.• POC participants receive 100% YMCA financial assistance for all program registration fees.• A POC authorization for your child’s program site must be received at the time of registration and prior to the start of

care.• Children utilizing POC are permitted to miss 5 days of care per month (approximately 1 week). Children who miss more

than 5 registered days may be dismissed from the program. • POC participants are required to give 5 days’ written notice to with draw from the program. If such notice is not given,

you are responsible for payment for the enrolled weeks. Special exceptions must be discussed with the Associate Executive Director.

• POC participants may ree enroll in the program at any time as long as space is available and there is no balance due on the account.

• POC participants are not charged late payment fees. Failure to pay your balance in a timely manner may result in termination of your child’s care.

• A $25 NSF fee will be added for each returned check. After 2 returned checks, no further checks will be accepted.• A $25 NSF fee will be added if an EFT payment is returned.• The YMCA may charge an additional fee for field trips. Information on the cost of these field trips is listed on the program

registration form. Field trips fees, when charged, are addition to any POC Parent Fee amount you are required to pay.• Full day parent fees are charged (when allowed on your authorization) for any day your child is in care for more than 12

hours. This includes early dismissal days, Ine service days, holidays, and inclement weather days if your child attends care.• A late pick up fee of $15 will be charged for each child picked up after the program closes. An additional $15 fee is

charged for each $15 minute interval, or part thereof, as we do not prorate this fee by the minute. Parent/Guardians that arrive late will be asked to sign a late pick up form and it is the responsibility of the parent to submit the late pick up fee to the YMCA within 3 business days of the incident. For children utilizing POC, late pick up charge do not begin to accrue until the point in time that the state no longer covers care (4 hours in care for half day without extended care or 10 hours in care for half day with extended care or full day). However children in care for more than 4 hours will be charged the full day parent fee. Repeated late pick-ups may result in your child’s dismissal from the program.

• The YMCA reports all past due balances to Purchase of Care. Please be sure your account is paid before seeking other care.

I have read and understand the procedure listed above I understand that I am responsible for ensuring my child’s Paperwork, POC authorization (If applicable), and payments remain current to maintain my child’s enrollment in the YMCA programs.
