Enrollment FAQ's
What ages do you enroll?
We provide child care for infants age 6 weeks and older, toddlers and preschoolers. We also provide before-school and after-school care for kindergartners. During the summer, we provide child care for children up to age 9.
What are your days and hours of operation?
Monday through Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate the child care needs of most working parents.
What is Preschool Promise?
Children ages 3-4 who are living in households at or below 200% of the federal poverty level are eligible for this preschool program. The State of Oregon pays the tuition, so parents only need to pay for additional child care hours, if needed. The program provides at least 900 hours of high-quality preschool time – usually 6 hours a day, 4 days a week during the school year. Families must enroll through the Blue Mountain Kids website.
How much do you charge?
The Preschool Promise program (6 or more hours a day, 4 days a week) is free to eligible families enrolled through the Blue Mountain Early Learning Hub. Additional child care hours – before or after preschool hours will be $6 per hour.
