If the program you are trying to enroll in is on a waitlist, you may register for the waitlist by clicking the “Join the Waitlist” button under your school on the locations page. You will be notified by email when the waitlist is lifted, and asked if you would still like your registration processed. Spots are granted in the order answers to this inquiry are received.
The program was likely placed on a wait list due to significant demand, not enough space available, or staffing shortage, and may not be lifted unless we can obtain more program space or hire more staff. Therefore, we are unable to know when the wait list will be lifted. If you have any further questions, please contact us at 317-283-3817, ext. 123 or info@ayskids.org.
Payments are accepted online by credit card or bank account. We are unable to take payments at the program site. In special circumstances, we may accept money orders at our administrative office; however, arrangements for this must be in advance. Please contact us at registrar@ayskids.org for more information.

AYS is committed to providing a safe environment for children, and all staff receive comprehensive training to handle any situation that arises. AYS works cooperatively with the schools to ensure that AYS staff members have and follow the school’s approved evacuation methods in the event of fire, severe weather emergency, or other threats.

If/when these types of instances occur, AYS will maintain timely and thorough communication with families until the situation has concluded.
AYS works closely with your school to customize programs that align with your schedule, facility usage, and community needs. We handle staffing, materials, and day-to-day program management to ensure a seamless integration.
