• No refund or reduction in fees for late arrivals, early departures, or partial attendance due to illness (exceptions for hospital stays).

When Acera School is closed for holidays or other reasons, there is no afterschool programming

To help maintain a safe, welcoming, and focused environment for all students:

• Parents and caregivers are welcome inside the building up to 10 minutes before drop-off or pick-up.

• Early pick-up is always permitted — just let a staff member know.

• During pick-up we ask all grownups to wait in the lobby and when your kiddos are ready they will come to you.

• During program hours, we ask that families not remain inside the building, so students can fully engage and thrive in their learning experience.

Decisions about participation in our enrichment programs are made at the discretion of the instructor and the Enrichment Program Manager. If a student is not able to participate in a safe and productive way, or if the teacher feels that the student is not engaging at a level appropriate for the program, the instructor may ask that s/he switch to a different session, or not return to the program. We have a zero-tolerance policy for physical aggression or verbal and emotional harassment towards other participants.

Refunds will not be provided for students removed from the program due to behavioral issues.

Please do not park in any spaces marked for other businesses! Park only in the PURPLE spots indicated on the map below. The spots are located along the tree line behind the school on the left side. YOU RISK BEING TOWED, IF YOU PARK IN NON-ACERA SPOTS. We must respect our other businesses and their customer parking spaces.

• Cancellations before May 1 receive a full refund. Transfers remain available at no charge.
• Cancellations after May 1 will receive a 50% credit toward future Acera programming. Transfers remain available at no charge.
