Are AVSP Youth Programs licensed?
Our After School Program, Summer Camp, and Day Camp/School’s Out Camp are all licensed as a child day center by the Virginia Department of Education. To remain in compliance, state standards require certain items to be on file for each child prior to attendance. We do not accept drop-in attendance unless you are registered with all the required documents on file and payments made. Our current capacity is 40 children per program, and ages accepted are 5-12 years of age. Our program is open to Ashburn Village residents and non-residents, with prices varying depending on the program you are participating in and resident status. Resident AVSP accounts and HOA dues must be in good standing to continue attendance.
What training does AVSP Youth Programs staff receive?
We ensure that our staff receives the necessary training and clearance in accordance with Virginia Department of Education licensing standards. See below for the qualifications each employee must have prior to working with children:
- Clear criminal background check
- Clear child abuse and neglect background check
- Child Abuse and Neglect Mandated Reporter Certificate
- Negative Tuberculosis Test
- Virginia Preservice 10 Hour Training (within 90 days)
- Staff orientation and continued training on all policies pertaining to the health and safety of children.
What activities and schedule is offered for the After School Activities Program (ASAP)?
An afternoon snack is served once the children arrive from school. The children are then spread out to do activities such as homework, organized activities, and free play spread out in areas like the playground, gym, and classroom.
Do you accept drop-ins for School’s Out Day Camp?
Yes, we are able to accept drop-ins for this program as long as all required paperwork is submitted and space is available.
