2 Different Registration Options

We offer two flexible registration options to accommodate your family's needs:

Full-Month Registration

Guarantees your child’s spot for the entire month, ensuring they receive the full learning experience and progress through the curriculum as intended.

Pricing

While the actual cost of running these programs is much higher, ICOI is subsidizing over 65% of the cost of this program to make it accessible to all families. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with their faith during Ramadan.


Our full-month registration pricing is the same across all age groups, ensuring every child has access to a meaningful Ramadan experience. ​

​​

The price of the program is $150 for the entire month (30 days). That is about $5 per day for almost 2 hours of high quality programming and care. 

 

Sibling discounts and financial aid are available if needed. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—we will ensure that no child is turned away. Contact us at sparksoffaith@icoi.net to discuss support options.

Bonus:
Priority Parking at The Village

​

Along with a full-month registration, you will receive priority parking at The Village for a smoother Taraweeh experience.

Here’s how it works:

​

  1. Drop off your child(ren) at their Sparks of Faith program.

  2. Take the ICOI Shuttle to the Masjid for Taraweeh.

  3. After Taraweeh, take the shuttle back to The Village, sign out your kids, and head home stress-free.

​

Shuttles will be running continuously throughout the night, ensuring quick and easy transportation. Many attendees last year mentioned that taking the shuttle was actually faster than walking to the end of the Chinese Center parking lot!

Day-Of Drop-Ins

Drop-in spots are extremely limited (only 20% of capacity) and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations or pre-registration—drop-ins are only available onsite at check-in and subject to space availability.

​

We highly encourage full-month registration to ensure your child receives the full benefit of our structured curriculum and engaging Ramadan experience.

Pricing

While the actual cost of running these programs is much higher, ICOI is subsidizing over 50% of the cost of this program to make it accessible to all families. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with their faith during Ramadan.

​

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer sibling discounts for drop-in sessions, nor are we able to offer Priority Parking at The Village.

​

  • $15 per night – For Little Hearts of Noor (6 months - Pre-K) 

  • $10 per night – For Ramadan Nights with Our Prophet (ï·º) (Kindergarten – Grade 2) 

  • $10 per night – For Youth Taraweeh (Grades 3 – 8)
