How soon can my child start Champions?
Your child can attend our program as early as 48 hours after you complete the online enrollment process.
When is tuition due?
You’ll receive your weekly invoice every Thursday, and AutoPay processes on Monday for the week ahead. AutoPay will also process additional charges, such as drop-in days or fees.
What if I want to change my child’s care schedule?
You can make changes up until Wednesday before the upcoming week. After that, changes depend on available space and will include a drop-in fee. You can set up a custom schedule online for specific dates. Just remember to re-enter your regular schedule afterward so your child keeps their spot. See our How to Enroll page for step-by-step guides. If you do not need care for an entire week, please contact our Family Support team for assistance at ChampionsHelp@KC-Education.com or 800-246-2154.
