Registration Fee
There is a registration fee of $25.00 per child enrolled. The total registration plus the first week's tuition is due prior to the first day attended.
An additional $5.00 late fee will be added to each account not paid within three (3) days of due date. If fees are 2 weeks in arrears, the child can no longer return until payment has been made and your account is current. Slots will not be held if a child is disenrolled due to lack of payment of fees or fines.
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 local public schools may be available (on a limited basis) for school-age children. Please contact Director for availability of service.
After Hours Fine
The Center completely closes at 6 p.m. but the Infant & Toddler Rooms close at 5:30 p.m.
Pick-up after the designated closing time is in violation of Center policy. Parents who pick up their children after these times will be charged a fine of $5.00 for each 15 minute period, or part thereof. (for example 01 - 15 minutes late = $5.00 and 16 - 30 minutes late = $10.00, etc.). Fines will be based on arrival time as documented by our time clock at the front entrance (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. Please note: this is a fine and is in addition to any normal child care charges you incur. An unpaid fine is cause for termination of your child's placement.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 office manager 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.
Please check with CDC to verify current rates.
