FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

How much does LYNC cost?

4.      My work schedule doesn’t match your 9:00 to 3:00 hours.  Can you help me with child care?
 a.     Yes.  Extra LYNC Day Care is our extended care program.  Extra LYNC is available beginning at 5:30 AM until regular LYNC begins at 9:00 AM, then again when LYNC dismisses at 3:00 PM until 5:30 PM.  Minimal daily/weekly charges apply for extended hours only. To discuss other possible options, please contact the email link at the bottom of this page.

5.      How many kids are in LYNC?

6.      What is your child to staff ratio?
 a.     We generally have a staff of seven or eight.  This gives us an overall child to staff ratio of no more than 11 to 1.  However, there are times, as in the school systems, when we do have one staff member overseeing a group of 20 children.

We are located north of Goshen at 58915 State Road 15. 

9.      What should I bring to registration?
 a.     Information about your child (name, address, age, grade, T-shirt size, school, teacher’s name, etc.). 
b.     $75.00 registration fee per child
c.     Your child’s physician’s name and phone number
d.     The name and vehicle model of anyone to whom you give permission to pick up your child from LYNC. 
e.     Emergency contact information for yourself and at least one other person.

How can I help my child best be prepared for LYNC?
a.     Bring your child to our evening open house on Wednesday, June 9th 4:30-6:30 p.m. 
b.     Encourage your child that LYNC is a FUN adventure (We are NOT summer school).
 c.     Talk to your child about being respectful and listening and following directions.

Does my child have to attend every day?
 a.     No.  Children need to be registered for LYNC at least three days per week.  We understand that families have activities they want to do together and we don’t want to interfere with that, but we do encourage good attendance. 
b.     In order to participate in special activities (swimming and field trips), children need to have been in attendance at least two of the five preceding LYNC days (in addition to the special event day). 
c.     If you know in advance that your child will be absent for summer camps or family vacation, just let us know.

Can I drop off my children any time, or do they need to arrive at 9:00 am?
a.     LYNC is not a drop-in program.  Our regular day begins at 9:00 AM.  We try to maintain a FUN, but structured environment, and it is best if all children arrive at 9:00 (unless arriving earlier for Extra LYNC).
b.     We understand there will be occasional times when your children may have a doctor appointment or have other lessons or appointments and will need to arrive later than 9:00.
