FAQS
Why is the after-school program changing providers?
Birmingham City Schools has partnered with Healthy Kids Programs to enhance the quality, resources, and consistency of after-school care for your child.
Do I have to re-register if my child is currently attending the BCS after-school program?
All current and new families will need to create an account in our family platform, Playground, and complete a short enrollment process. If your child has allergies, emergency medication, or another health need, additional forms will be required.
Will my child’s current after-school staff change?
Many staff members will remain, and Healthy Kids will provide additional training and resources to support them.
Will snacks and meals still be provided?
Yes. Nutritious snacks will continue to be offered as part of the program.
How do I pay my tuition?
We utilize a family-friendly software app called Playground for our billing. Upon registration, you will be asked to link a method of payment on your account and enroll in automatic billing. You must link a credit or debit card in order to pay the registration fee. Once your account is set up, you can link a checking account to avoid processing fees.
Can I get a credit for sick or missed days?
We understand that occasional absences due to illness or other circumstances are sometimes unavoidable. However, in order to maintain the high-quality programming and staffing that our families rely on, we are unable to provide credits for missed or sick days.
What if I have additional questions?
