• When creating an account, you will be required to enter your basic contact information including an email address and password which will be used for logging in
• On the left, under the Manage Family Members section, use the Add Emergency Contacts button to add new emergency contacts.

You will now be able to log in and proceed with submitting your enrollment form for Lion Care. Submission of your enrollment form does not guarantee placement in the program.
*Failure to create an account and/or contract for each season will result in one being created for you. However, by utilizing the program, your family will still be bound by our Family Handbook.
ADDING CARE DATES
Dates can be added during the enrollment process or throughout the year. For existing accounts, please follow the steps below to add care dates:
Families are unable to cancel dates through their account. You must contact Lion Care staff for cancelations. Credits will only be given if we receive 24+ hour advanced notice of the canceled dates.
