Other Info
• Registration is required for all childcare programs. We do not accept walk-ins.
• A large majority of TYA events are free, if any events require payment they are often at a discounted rate.
• Cancelation Policy: FOCUS will refund your event fee minus the deposit fee for all cancellations made two weeks before the event date. Any cancellation within two weeks of the event date will not receive a refund.
• Caregivers welcome, but parents can come if absolutely necessary!
• If your teen/young adult requires more interaction to engage, you may attend or send a personal caregiver to assist. We’ve learned that ‘hanging out’ is sometimes difficult for our teens / young adults and we might need your help!
