Important Enrollment Information:

• Completing an enrollment form does not mean you are enrolled into the program.  

• All families including returning and waitlisted families will need to complete a 24-25 enrollment form.

• A separate enrollment form will need to be completed for each child you wish to enroll.

• There are  limited afterschool spots due to space and staffing capacity.

• If the demand is higher than our current capacity, we will try to hire more staff over the summer so that we can meet the sites demand.  Please note: our TK/K classes in particular have limited spots as we are required to have a 10:1 student to staff ratio compared to our 20:1 ratio for all other grades.

• Please see our priority enrollment process (same at all OUSD schools):

1. OUSD’s Unduplicated Pupil Percentage (UPP) mandate. UPP is defined by the California Department of Education as students who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals (FRPM), English learners (EL), and/or who are foster youth, and unhoused. This is a designation provided by the CA Department of Education and OUSD district and not by EBAC.

2. Returning students who were enrolled in 23-24

3. Siblings of returning students

4. Previously waitlisted students in 23-24

5. Class grouping and daily enrollment balance

6. Open lottery

Income Guidelines and Monthly Rates:

The P.E.A.C.E. monthly rates are determined by the following income categories:

Monthly Rates

Program fees are calculated monthly. Rates listed are for first child, with the rate for each additional child in the second chart. Program fees below are for the 24-25 school year.

Please note that TK students will have a higher rate due to our staffing ratio requirements.

Payment Information:

EBAC uses Procare to manage our program fees.  With Procare, families will receive invoices and will be able to pay their invoices using their credit cards or through their bank accounts.  Families will be able to manage their personal accounts and print out receipts and tax letters at any time. Once enrolled in P.E.A.C.E. program you will receive information on how to set up and navigate the Procare portal. If you would like to pay with a check, you can still do this by handing it to the Program Coordinator, Sherice Tyler.  We will manually enter that you have paid in our Procare system.  If you decide not to pay through Procare, you will still receive an invoice from Procare and will be able to log in and get a receipt from your Procare account.  Please make checks out to EBAC ℅ Peralta’s P.E.A.C.E. program and put your child's name and month of payment in the memo line.

P.E.A.C.E. Program Information:

This sliding-scale program is designed to meet the needs of all Peralta families, with enrichment classes and homework time, along with active and quiet play. It reflects the Peralta community’s longstanding commitment to integrated programming that does not separate children by income.

P.E.A.C.E. is administered by the nonprofit group East Bay Agency for Children (EBAC), and partially funded by the California After-School Education and Safety Program (2002′s Prop. 49). This allows EBAC to offer the program at reduced cost to those who meet income requirements. Full scholarships are available. See tables above for details. Additionally, here is the 2023-2024 Afterschool Family Handbook.
