Saints Simon and Jude CARES program offers before and after school care to all Saints Simon and Jude school children. Our CARES program provides care, supervision, recreation and enrichment activities for your children. It serves families who desire both parochial school education and before/after school daycare in a Catholic environment. The CARES program is staffed by experienced, devoted and committed personnel.
Afternoon CARES is available from dismissal to 6:00 pm. Morning CARES is available from 7:00 - 8:20 am (not available on days with a school delay). Any student arriving at school before 7:50 must be registered in the CARES program.
All CARES registration fees and fees for service will be charged to you through your existing FACTS account as a “Prepaid” account. You can set up your prepaid account with the link below. This account will allow you to add funds for us to draw against each week. Each Monday, we will charge your prepaid account for the previous week usage. You will receive a notice from FACTS for each charge added to your account. Once your account prepaid balance reaches a balance of $30, you will receive a reminder notice from FACTS to add funds to your account.
Any funds remaining in your account at the end of the school year will transfer to the new school year. If you are no longer using the CARES services, any balance may be transferred to either your lunch or pretzel prepaid accounts or be applied to your tuition account. If you are leaving the school, any unused balance will be refunded to you. You will have the ability to generate any reports you may need for FSA reimbursement or tax returns directly from your FACTS account at any time.
If you have any questions on your FACTS account please contact Mary Kay Lack at mklack@simonandjude.org or 610-696-3624.
