The after school program located on the Cedarcreek Elementary School campus offers Cedarcreek students a reduced tuition rate because of grant funding through the California Department of Education's After-School Education and Safety Grant (ASES). Cedarcreek families enrolled in the ASES Program pay a monthly investment fee and must adhere to all grant requirements. Grant requirements include daily attendance and the children must be picked up daily after 5:45pm. A snack will be served to the ASES students.
Registration is based on the service (school days) in the month. Families may choose to send their children only 3 days per week, but are responsible for paying for every school day within the month. Tuition is calculated on a daily rate per child based on the number of calendar school days in a month, excluding non-school days and breaks. Tuition is NOT based on actual attendance. Parents are responsible for paying the entirety of the tuition regardless of attendance. TK/K- Option 1 $10 per child/per school day, Option 2- TK/K $32 per child/per school day and 1st to 6th- $22 per child/per school day.
Our program will offer an afternoon snack after dismissal to all CDP students. However, if your child willl be staying later into the evening (between 5:00pm-6:00pm) we recommend packing an additional snack. Please send a refillable water bottle daily.

24.I understand and acknowledge that there are certain risks inherent in programs of the nature contemplated hereunder as well as visiting public spaces, such as SUSD facilities, and/or engaging in activities and gatherings within proximity of others. I hereby acknowledge and assume full responsibility for risk (known and unknown) of accident, personal or bodily injury, sickness, illness, viral or bacterial exposure or infection, hospitalization, loss of personal property, quarantines, and/or death and all related costs and expenses associated with mY child’s participation in the program.

If the site reaches capacity, remaining families will remain on the waitlist. If your contract is in a pending status, that means that your contract is currently on the waitlist.

Every school year families will need to submit a new contract request in ELEYO if they are interested in attending CDP.
Tuition amounts that are not paid by the 6th of the month will be assessed a $25 late payment fee. If tuition remains unpaid by the 15th of the month, your child may not attend the program until all past due balances and fees have been paid or an agreed upon payment plan is in place.

Our Before & After School Child Care Program has been restructured and renamed to the After School Expanded Learning Opportunities Program under our Child Development Program. Our program will focus on After School Care and providing enriching and engaging opportunities for our students.
Behavior Expectations: The purpose of the CDP Program behavioral expectations is to impart to all students attending the program specific qualities of positive and age-appropriate behavior and social interactions. Additionally, it is the responsibility of any and all staff to provide an environment that assures each child’s maximum safety at all times. It is every student's right to be given the opportunity to have a positive experience while attending our program. Our program uses PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support) strategies aligned with the elementary school to reinforce positive student behavior. In addition, every student also has the responsibility to abide by a code of behavior that promotes the social, emotional, and creative development of all students in the program.
With these purposes and goals as a guide, the CDP Program follows the Six Pillars of Character: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship. The behavioral expectations are based on positive reinforcement and praise, coupled with consequences for misbehavior. These behavioral expectations parallel those at our SUSD school sites:
● All students will speak and act in a manner that demonstrates respect for school staff and each other.
● All students will behave in a caring manner that does not bring physical harm to themselves or others.
● All students will show respect for school property and personal property of others.
● All students will abide by school and Child Development Program rules and act in a responsible manner.
Students in the CDP Program are accountable for their actions and behavior at all times. Parent meetings may be held to discuss student conduct and other strategies to improve behavior. Severe first offenses or repeated inappropriate and/or aggressive behavior may result in removal from an activity or the group to regain self-control or may be denied a privilege. These behaviors may also lead to suspension from the program. Any form of discipline that would impair a student's self-respect is avoided.
In the event a child's behavior endangers another child's welfare, is destructive to property, or disrespectful to authority, a student behavior report form will be completed and the parent may also be called to immediately pick up the child from the program. Copies will be disseminated to the parent or guardian, Director or Assistant Director of the CDP Programs, and placed in the child's file. Three student behavior reports or a serious incident may result in the child being suspended from the program. A fourth discipline referral may result in dismissal from the program. Dismissal is followed by a six-month period of ineligibility to enroll in the Saugus Union School District CDP Program. Two dismissals may result in permanent ineligibility to enroll in the program. No credits or allowances will be given for students suspended from school or the CDP Program.
Parents have agreed to the following information during the submittal of their contract in the Child Development Program.
I am aware that children attending the Child Development Program will be required to follow all school rules. Students may be excluded from the program for failure to meet these behavioral expectations.
If your contract has NOT been approved, you may submit a request to withdrawl in your ELEYO account.
If your contract has been approved, your registration fee is non-refundable.
Once a contract is approved, withdrawals must be requested, in writing, between the 1st – 15th of the current month to take effect at the next billing cycle. If a parent submits their request after the specified date (the 16th- 31st) of the current month, they will be responsible for the entire monthly tuition for the following month.
Example 1: Notify the site on September 3rd that you would like to withdraw from the program. The request is processed and your child is withdrawn from the program as of September 30th. The October tuition is not due.
Example 2: Notify the site on September 17th that you would like to withdraw from the program. The request is processed and your child will be withdrawn from the program as of October 31st. The entire October tuition is due.
The Child Development Program abides by the state required ratios of no more than 1:10 adult/student ratio for our Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten groups and 1:20 for our 1st through 6th grade groups.
The tax ID number is #95-6002879
If a child is absent, a parent must notify the CDP staff that day and each day the child will not be in attendance. If a child is absent from school or leaves early due to illness, the child may not attend the CDP center. If your child is absent due to illness, you must follow the proper guidance and your child must be cleared before returning to CDP.
Children choose from a variety of activities offered daily in the Child Development Program. Both indoor and outdoor learning experiences are provided with time for active play as well as time to relax, read, complete homework, and participate in quiet activities. Learning opportunities may focus on the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the children in the program as well as other groups. All children have the opportunity to learn and grow through experiences such as:
All registration information will be located on the ELEYO website. Registration dates are updated on the landing page for parent reference. The 26/27 registration dates will be available January 2026.
When submitting a contract online in our ELEYO registration system, your contract is automatically placed on a waitlist. When space is available, the contract will be approved and you will receive a confirmation email. At this time the yearly registration fee will be processed from your account. If your contract remains in a pending status, you are still on the waitlist.
The CDP After School Program is provided to students in grades TK/Kindergarten through Sixth, subject to availability, at their school of attendance. Additionally, enrollment is open to any child, providing:
Enrollment will be granted without discrimination in regard to sex, race, color, creed, political belief, religion, physical disabilities, medical needs, or national origin. The CDP After School Program reserves the right to discontinue services at any time.
All invoices are given a 5-day grace period, and if not paid prior to the 6th day a $25 Late Tuition Fee will be assessed. No exceptions made for weekends, vacations, holidays, breaks, absences, illnesses or District mandated closures. With the exception of families receiving subsidized care, it is the account holder’s responsibility to ensure payments are received on time, including those coming from a third-party payee. Your child will not be allowed to attend the program if your account is not at a zero balance by the 15th of the month. They may return to the program, space permitting, when the entirety of the overdue balance is paid in full, including all delinquent fees.
Morning care is not available at this time. Our program will focus on After School Care with the hope of adding Before School Care when sufficient need is determined by site.
