Registration Fee
There is a registration fee of $25.00 for the first child enrolled and an
additional $15.00 for each additional child enrolled per family. The total registration plus the first week's tuition is due
prior to the first day attended.
Tuition
Fees are due and payable in advance, either on Friday afternoon prior to service or Monday morning beginning service.
Fees are based on the total cost of operation and the number of children scheduled in each age group. At the time of enrollment,
parents may chose from either fixed or adjustable rates. Fixed rate types mean you are paying for a slot, not for actual
days or hours attended. (See current tuition chart below for choices available.)
Late fee
An additional $5.00 late fee will be added to each account not paid within
three (3) days of due date.
Returned Checks
Parents will be charged the processing fee imposed by our Bank for any check
returned to us for insufficient funds.
Miscellaneous Fees
We sometimes offer additional services which are optional. Cost is based on
each individual service offered. Parents will be notified of any additional service & cost in advance. Transportation
to and from an individual's home may be available (on a limited basis) at an additional cost of $2.00 per one-way trip. Please
contact Director for availability of service.
After Hours Fine
The Center closes at 6 p.m.. Parents who pick up their children after 6:00 p.m. will be charged a fine of $5.00 for each 15 minute period,
or part thereof. (for example 6:01 - 6:15 = $5.00 and 6:16 - 6:30 = $10.00, etc.) Staff members will be waiting with any
child remaining after 6:00 and will use the time clock at the front entrance to document the late arrival time.
Fines will be based on arrival time as documented by our time
clock. (we will not waste additional time disputing whose
watch or clock is correct.) This fine is payable at the time your child is picked up. Pick-up after 6:00 p.m.
is in violation of Center policy and is subject to termination from the program.
Vacation Policy
Vacation is available for two weeks during any given calendar year, without
carryover to another year. Child care fees, for absence due to vacation, will be reduced to one-half (1/2) of the regular
weekly fee, on condition that written notice is given to the bookkeeper at least (2) two weeks in advance.
Vacation must be taken on a weekly basis.
Illness Policy
To be assured continued placement, parents are expected to pay full fees
for each week their child is enrolled. In the event of illness of the child lasting in excess of five (5) continuous days,
full fees will be charged for the first full week of absence.
The child’s placement can then be held for two (2) additional weeks
at “no charge” only if the following two conditions are satisfied: the Administrator must receive notice
from the parent during the first week of paid absence; and written verification of illness must be received from the child’s
physician.
If the illness exceeds this additional two-week "no charge" period, the
Administrator must be consulted.
Withdrawal Policy
Two (2) weeks written notice is required for withdrawal. Parents are responsible
for full payment of regular fees for a period of two weeks after delivery of the notice, or for two (2) weeks after the child
stops attending the program without notice.
