Registration for In-Person Learning Model

All families need to re-register, including families with a currently "paused" contract.

Re-register by:

• Logging into your Eleyo account
• Selecting the season called "In-Person Learning Model Spring 2021"
• Choosing your Minneapolis Kids site
• Completing the contract

There is a new minimum registration requirement. Families must sign up for Monday through Thursday before-school and/or after-school childcare. Friday is optional. Note: this is a requirement to ensure students are grouped together consistently per MN Department of Health guidelines.

Priority will be given to current Minneapolis Kids families and then to currently enrolled Tier 1 families.

Current Minneapolis Kids family is defined as those already enrolled and accepted in the "paused" School Year 2020-21 season.

Families opting to remain in the MPS distance learning model are not eligible for Minneapolis Kids childcare.

Non-school day care will be available during Spring Break 2021, on April 2nd and from April 5th-9th for families who are enrolled in before- and/or after-school care.  Please see the in-person location sheet for information about which sites will be available for non-school day care.  Registration for Spring Break non-school day care will open on March 1st.
