TUITION PAYMENT POLICIES
No cash will be accepted in payment of your tuition. Payment must be made by check or money order
only. Tuition is due one week in advance. (Monthly and
b-weekly payments may also be made in advance.) Payments are due each Friday for the following week. Tuition paid on Monday is considered late. There
is a late charge of $10.00 for the first day and an additional $5.00 for each additional day. In the event your child is absent on Friday due to
illness or vacation, no late fee will be accessed until the child's second day of attendance upon return to the center. This is the only exception to
the payment policy.
Tuition is due regardless of
attendance on all day care schedules. The schedule that is arranged with
the administrator is the client's responsibility. Registration of the child constitutes a contract upon which we depend on when hiring our staff
members. Please understand this when you are charged for unscheduled absences. Also note that the regular fee is charged when a legal holiday or
snow day falls within the regular week. The total tuition for the year is divided into equal weekly payments for your convenience. In order to
provide your child with the best program, equipment, and staff, it is necessary to insure that all payments are made on time. Please discuss your
needs with the center administrator.
Each child will be offered one tuition-free vacation week per calendar year. To be eligible for the
vacation week, you must provide the center with a written 30-day notice and the days must be consecutive (Monday through Friday). When payment is one
week in arrears, the account is considered delinquent. Parent will be notified of this delinquency immediately. If the tuition for the current week
is not paid by Friday of the current week (along with late charges), then your child cannot return to the center until your account is brought up to
date.
A $35.00 handling fee will be charged for all returned checks. In the event that more than two
checks are returned for any reason, we will be unable to accept checks from you any more. All future payments would have to be made in the form of
a money order.
