Registration

 

Parents may register their child for before care, after care, or both!

Initial registration must be done in person at the Dunedin Community Center or the MLK Jr. Recreation Center during normal business hours. Subsequent monthly payments may then be made online after your initial registration is complete. 

The enrollment forms require a notarized Emergency Medical Release. For your convenience, a Notary is on site at the Community Center (727-812-4530) and MLK, Jr. Recreation Center (727-738-2920), however they are not always available; so please call ahead before coming in.

The program fee is divided into 10 payments with the due date being the 1st of each month. The $25 registration fee and first payment are due at the time of enrollment. The initial payment will be pro-rated based on the date your child starts the program. Payments may be made online after initial registration. By enrolling, you are responsible for all subsequent payments regardless of attendance.
