Payment Schedule and Policies

  • Weekly tuition will be determined according to the days and times a child is enrolled. Tuition will be charged for the entire semester or session that a child is enrolled. Parents will sign a contract agreeing to tuition rates and policies.

  • Tuition is due at the beginning of each week for that week of service. Tuition may also be paid monthly in advance.

  • Additional fees may be charged for field trips or other special activities. Parents will receive advance notice of such activities.

  • Vouchers from the Department of Social Services and from the Chapter II program will be accepted. Parents are responsible for any assigned co-payments or differences between voucher payment and tuition rates.

  • Tuition will not be reduced or waived for partial attendance (due to illness, family vacation, or other reasons) except under certain circumstances and with prior arrangement from the Director. Families enrolled for the full year may claim one week for vacation and five free days are given during the Christmas break. Child care tuition is charged for other days when the College is closed due to holiday or weather conditions.

  • Two weeks written notice is required for withdrawal from child care. The parent is responsible for payment of these two weeks.

  • If tuition account is not paid in full on or before the due date (the first of each week) a notice will be sent to the family. Failure to pay fees may result in dismissal. Outstanding balances at the end of a semester will prevent a student from receiving grades or registering for future classes.
