PROGRAMS

(All programs are contingent on contract negotiations)

Teen School Vacation Program
The Teen School Vacation Program runs from February –December.
This program is to enrich your teen children (ages 13-15). The New
England Work and Family Committee will reimburse up to $200.00 per week
up to 3 weeks annually for school vacations. We will reimburse for day
or overnight activities and programs. The monies you are reimbursed are
taxable. Click HERE for application and guidelines.

Kindergarten Reimbursement
In many cities and towns, half-day kindergarten is provided by the
public school system. If your child were to attend a full day program
in the public school, parents are faced with tuition for the remaining
half-day. We want to ease your financial obligation so your
kindergartener can attend private or public school. Click HERE for application and guidelines.

subsidy that goes to eligible employees for qualified dependent care
