Frequently asked questions
What are your hours and why?
Our hours are 7:30am-5:30pm. We realize this may be impossible for some work schedules and while we want to assist families as much as we can, it is very important for us to have a solid, healthy staff pouring into your child. This schedule will allow for a smaller, more focused staff that are loving life and sharing that love of life with your child.
Do you offer care for school-age children?
We offer care for school age children through the month of July until Nixa schools start back up in August. Summer camp is tailored for children going into Kindergarten up to age 12.
How does payment work if MSA is closed?
We have designed MSA with the entire year in mind. Rather than a pay-per-day program that can become confusing, we offer a flat rate weekly fee for full-time students. If we are closed, you will still pay the weekly fee.
How does the transition between the Academy and summer program work?
We are open year round with the exception of holidays and weather. August through May is when our curriculum is implemented and the Academy takes place. Our "end of year" is over when Nixa Schools let out. Our summer program begins for all students beginning when the "end of year" is over. The school age summer program begins in July.
