Full-Time Care
With Kid Spa Austin’s Full-Time childcare program, your hourly rate automatically changes to our member drop-in rate after 6pm. That means no more stressing out about late fees when a business meeting runs long or a customer calls at the last minute with a “quick question”.
Program Overview
Our Full-Time Program runs Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 6:00pm. Unlike traditional centers, Kid Spa Austin is open during the evenings and even offers meal service. This means your child will receive seamless care with familiar caregivers, even if you can’t get to the center by 6pm.
Full-Time Programs are offered during Spring/Fall semesters, and may be renewed monthly. Additionally, families enrolled in a full-time program will receive our “Member” drop-in rate for any time their children attend the center outside of scheduled hours.
Daily Activities
Children will have the opportunity to participate in playful, intentional learning experiences while at our center.
This includes large and small group activities, teacher-directed and child-initiated activities as well as active and quiet activities.
We will also spend time outdoors every day, as weather permits, for large motor development.
Program Schedules
Our full-time program runs Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. However, because our centers offer extended hours of operation, children can be cared for until closing time in the evenings.
Dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. Monday thru Thursday, and at 6:00 p.m. on Fridays. Last-minute requests for dinner can be made by calling the center directly.
- Children enrolled in a full-time program will be guaranteed a spot at their designated center on scheduled days until 9 a.m.
- Families arriving after 9 a.m. on a scheduled day may be asked to wait for a spot to open up if the center is operating at capacity.
Enrollment Costs
Full-time tuition is charged at a monthly rate of $935/child. The “Member” drop-in rate will apply for any time a student attends the center outside of scheduled hours.
There is no enrollment fee for full-time enrollment in a non-preschool program. Late pick-up fees only apply if picking up after the center’s regular closing time.
- Program families are required to keep a current Tuition Express form on file. This form authorizes an automatic withdrawal of monthly tuition expenses from either a checking account or a credit card.
- Tuition is billed on the 3rd Monday of every month for the next month’s tuition. Charges for Drop-In care will be billed separately to the card or account on file.

All families must be registered with Kid Spa Austin prior to starting a full-time program. This includes completing registration paperwork and paying the Kid Spa Austin registration fee.
