Payments are due in August and January before children can attend the B.E.S.T. Club.

2. B.E.S.T. programs are drop-in recreational centers. Participants may arrive and depart at their own will. Should you wish your child to remain until a parent/guardian arranges for pick up, you must convey that message to your child.

*3. The B.E.S.T. Club is open Monday through Friday, after school until 5:30 p.m. during the school year (which follows the Tulare City School District schedule). Parents need to make arrangements to pick up their children by 5:30 p.m.
