The state requires there be one adult for every 22 children enrolled in our childcare programs. The Link regularly staffs its programs with a 1-to-15 ratio but strives for a 1-to-12 ratio if possible.
A seven-day written notice is required to cancel after school care. No refunds will be issued once payments are processed.
