After School Care Alternative - Registration

After School Care Alternative - Registration

Dear Future ASP Parents,

GMA Gallatin parents and children love our program. The tuition value can't be beat for all of the benefits a child gains in our program.  Once you register and pay the $175.00 registration/ start up fee, we will enroll you in our system. The registration fee includes the first week plus registration. (Once the form is completed you will be redirected to PayPal to complete your payment.)

* Limited Space - No Refunds 

Our ASP GMS director will call you to schedule a private meeting. It is important to make your scheduled appointment, as there is limited space. The director will give you all the needed paperwork at the meeting so you can complete the ASP registration. You are not registered until the packet is completed at the school.  

Appointment times 3:30pm to 5:30pm

Please tell us more about your child in our Leave a Comment Sections.  

Thank You

GMA Office - 615-989-7945 - Ext 5

 

GMA-ASP Policy:

To hold your position on weeks off from school, summer breaks, fall breaks and holidays, there is a weekly $30 maintenance fee to hold your position. As an added benefit, the maintenance fee also includes weekly martial arts training classes during the off seasons and seasonal breaks. Please note: We do not prorate short school weeks, inclement weather-closed days or sick personal days.

GMA also offers Summer camps and  Fall / Spring camps if there is enough interest.
