Extended Enrichment Rates

Registration for the 2023-24 Extended Enrichment Program (EEP) will open on Thursday, June 1 for current EEP families and June 12th for the reset of the Tahoma School District elementary students. There are a number of EEP scheduling and payment changes that will be implemented at the start of the 2023-24 school year. We are excited to implement these changes that will allow for online payment and flexible scheduling options for families. These policies will not affect EEP for the current school year or the 2023 Summer EEP program.

There are multiple schedule options for EEP:

3 Day AM only or PM only or AM and PM
5 Day AM only or PM only or AM and PM
2 Day AM only or PM only or AM and PM

A family may choose to combine any of the two above options for each student attending.

Charges will be based on the weekly rates in the chart above and billed monthly.

The registration fee for both current and new EEP families will be $50 for one student, or $60 total if you are registering more than one student in your family.

 EEP during school break days, including winter/mid-winter/spring breaks, teacher workshop days and semester break days will cost $70 per day (up to 12 hours of care), and EEP during conference days will cost $40 per day (up to 6 hours of care). If your student’s EEP schedule already includes scheduled conference days, you will NOT be charged extra for your student to attend their regularly scheduled day. Availability will be determined for each instance prior to the scheduled break and communicated to EEP families.

 Families will be allowed two free schedule changes during the regular school year (e.g., changing from two days per week to five days per week; shifting the days of attendance, etc.). Changing back to an original schedule will count as a change. The fee for additional schedule changes will be $25 per occurrence. There will not be a limit on the number of changes requested. There will be a 2 week financial notice needed on any schedule changes. Even if your change is effective immediately, you will be charged for the 2 weeks.

Payments are due on the first day of each month. A late fee of $50 will be assessed on unpaid balances on the sixth day of that month. If the balance remains unpaid by the 15th of the following month, your student will be removed from the EEP program. Once your balance is settled, your child will be eligible to rejoin the program when there is available space.

The late student pick-up fee will remain at $3/minute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

If I choose a plan with both AM and PM care, can the days of the week be different for AM and PM?

Yes. For instance, on the 2-day AM and PM plan, your family could use EEP on Monday and Tuesday mornings and Thursday and Friday afternoons. Please contact EEP Administrative Asst. Erica Wegner ([email protected]) for help determining the most cost-effective plan for your family’s situation.

Can I choose from one AM option and a different PM option? 

Yes, plans can be combined to fit your schedule.

What if EEP is not offered on one of my child’s regularly scheduled days?

You will not be charged for that day and the prorated cost will be reflected on your monthly bill.

Will I pay by the month or week?

You will pay by the month. Monthly invoices will include line items for each week of the month. 

When will I receive my monthly invoice?

Invoices will be emailed by the 15th of the previous month (you will receive your invoice for October services on Sept. 15).

What are the payment form options?

Payments can be made via check or money order in the black drop box in front of the Central Services Office at 25720 Maple Valley Black Diamond Rd SE. Cash payments can be made in the Central Services Office from 8 am - 4 pm. There will be a credit card payment option available by the beginning of the 2023-24 school year. You will receive an email later in the summer prompting you to create an account and giving you an option to pay online.
