Broken Toy Charge
If a child breaks a toy on purpose or in anger, the parents will be
held financially responsible for replacement of that toy.
Overtime Fees
If a child is not picked up by 6:30 PM, a late charge of $2.00 per minute
that the child is in the Center will be charged. This amount is payable
to the worker who had to stay overtime and is in charge at the time
of pick-up. $2.00 PER MINUTE PER CHILD.
Missed School Pick-Up Charge
If a child is scheduled to be picked up from school, but is not at school
for some reason, please contact the office before 2:30 PM. If this is
not done, a $5.00 charge will be assessed to your account. Also, if
a child is not in the designated spot to be picked up, we WILL NOT make
a second trip to the school. The parents will be called from the school.
Absenteeism
If a child is absent, we cannot give credits or refunds, because a place
is being kept for that child which could otherwise be given to someone
on our waiting list. See "Vacation" under "General Information" for
more information. What this means is if your child is out for the whole
week, full tuition will apply.
Partial Weeks
For children in K-5 and under who are present TWO FULL DAYS** DURING
THE WEEK, THE FULL WEEKLY PAYMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THAT WEEK. IF THE
CHILD IS PRESENT ONLY ONE DAY IN THE WEEK, THE CHARGE WILL BE 50% OF
REGULAR TUITION. If your child is out for the entire week and you do
not have any vacation time and you do not have a Doctor's note for illness,
then full tuition will apply.
These policies also apply to school age students
who are present for the summer. During the school year, if a school
age child requires a full day** of child care (due to holidays, etc.)
the rate for one day will be $25.00, in addition to regular before and
after school rates. However, two or more full days of care constitute
a full week, thus full-time rates will apply. ** -- Four (4) or more
hours of care for one day will be considered a full day of care.
Drop Fee
If the Center is not notified of a child's withdrawal one week in advance,
a fee of $20.00 will be charged. No records will be released until all
financial obligations are met.
Returned Check Charge

any check returned to the Center. Money orders will be required for
a minimum of four weeks after a returned check. At the Center's discretion,
money orders may be required at any time after a returned check. If
there is a second returned check, checks will no longer be accepted.
Visa and Master Card payments will continue to be accepted.
Check In/Out Fee
Each time a child is not checked in or is not checked out, a fee of
$2.00 will be charged. If the computer system is down, the child must
be checked in/out on the temporary sheet which will be provided by the
office.
Payments
Payments should be made in the form of check, money order, Visa, or
Master Card. Tuition is to be paid in advance in the office. Classroom
workers will not be responsible for receiving payments; the payments
need to be brought to the OFFICE to insure proper credit. While the
office mailbox should be used for tuition payments, we will not be responsible
for cash left in the office mailbox. Tuition will be considered late
when not paid by 6:30 PM on Tuesday of the current week. A 10% late
charge will be added at this time.

pay the cut-off amount plus the amount required to bring your account
to a status of 'paid in advance.'
