Can I request for my child to be placed with a friend?
-
If your child and their friend are in the same grade, yes, we can accommodate to that request. However, due to the level of the activities and subjects covered in each grade level children will be placed in their corresponding grade level according to their age with no exceptions. We ask that at the time of registration you select the correct grade level for your child according to their age. This will generally be the grade level they were in for the 2024-2025 school year. EX-If your child was born between Sept 2nd, 2014 and Sept 1st, 2015 and were in 4th grade for the 2024-2025 school year you would select 4th grade for their grade level. As registrations come through, we do check that your child was registered in the correct age group and if not, we will correct that on our end. Please note that purposefully selecting the wrong age group may cause your child to lose their spot as we will need to move them to the correct group and if spots have filled up, we may no longer have a space for them.
Can you accommodate a child with special needs?
-
If your child is in an inclusive classroom setting at school, can communicate, can follow simple instructions, and is potty trained yes, we can accommodate them.
Are there scholarships available?
-
While our VBS program has a cost associated with it to cover a wide variety of expenses such as crafts, snacks, and lunches, we make it available to anyone and everyone regardless of financial situation. We have a scholarship program in place to offer help to those that would be unable to pay the registration fee. Whether you are in need of help to cover the cost or you would like to sponsor a child you can email us to kids@cielovista.church for more information.
What happens if my child’s grade level is no longer available on the registration form.
-
Unfortunately, we do have limited spaces in each grade level. Registering as soon as possible is the best way to ensure a spot. If your child’s grade level is no longer available to select on the registration form, it means that all the spots have been filled. We can place you on a waiting list but cannot guarantee a spot will open. Should you want to be placed on the waiting list you will need to email us to kids@cielovista.church with the names, grade levels, and birthdates of the children you would like to be placed on the waiting list.
