Blue Springs School District

Cub Care Learning Center is a Missouri Licensed and Accredited preschool that has been a Blue Springs School District Program since 2003.

We believe a child's development benefits most in a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program in which staff and family work closely together.

We strive to provide a quality, loving, active learning environment for children which enables them to develop and progress in their social, physical, literacy and cognitive development.

The Blue Springs School District Cub Care Early Learning Center provides high quality, full-day service in a safe and nurturing environment that supports children 6 weeks through 5 years. In order to assure sustainability, Cub Care is fee-based program with tuition covering operating costs. Cub Care does offer Bear Time, which is a fee-based before and/or after school care program. Spots are limited in Bear Time, and you can check with Cub Care staff on availability for your child.

Cub Care Early Learning Center follows the Blue Springs School District Academic Calendar. Cub Care is available for service August – May. Cub Care does offer a summer school program (same dates as BSSD Summer School/ESY) during the month of June for BSSD families that meet these criteria:

• BSSD Employee is working BSSD Summer School or Extended School Year (ESY)
• BSSD Employee is taking graduate classes/professional development.
• Unfortunately, drop off services are not offered during summer school.

• BSSD Staff that support after school programs may take advantage of “seasonal” AM/PM Bear Time.
• Example: A staff member who coaches a sport from August – October may elect to pay for PM Bear Time for the month(s) they are supporting an after-school program. If the activity / sport concludes in the middle of the month, Bear Time fees will be assessed for remainder of that month.
• Unfortunately, Cub Care is not able to support other staff contractual obligations for “drop-in childcare”: IEP meetings, 504 meetings, Professional Development, etc.

PROCESSING FEE CHANGE 

Beginning February 1, 2021 there will be a change regarding fees associated with electronic childcare payments. In lieu of the current $3.00 processing fee adjustment for electronic payments, Eleyo will automatically charge a 3.69% programming fee. This fee will only be applied to payments made by credit card, debit card, or those deducted automatically from a bank account. Because this fee is paid directly to Eleyo, the fee will not show on the Cub Care invoice but will show directly on the receipt once payment is made.

BSSD Cub Care will continue to offer the flexibility of paying by check or money order without an additional fee or the convenience of paying electronically with the above-mentioned fee.

In summary, all electronic payments will be charged an automatic 3.69% programming fee that will only show on the paid receipt. This will replace the current $3.00 processing fee adjustment shown on weekly invoices.

Please contact the Cub Care office if you have any questions.
