Payment Options: ALL PAYMENTS ARE ONLINE. All payments come with a email receipt. Because you are responsible for your end of the year tax records, please make sure you keep us updated with any new information change.
When the reoccurring option is activated the payment will be automatically debited based on the pay schedule of the last payment.

Fee Payment Policy: Fees are due on the Friday before the coming week of care. The full weekly fee is due regardless of the number of days a student attends. Days are not prorated and cannot be exchanged for days not attended. If a student misses 5 consecutive days in the program without payment and letting us know, the student will be dismissed from the program, and a new registration fee will be required for re-entry(if there are spaces open). Days cannot be transferred to another week or shared between siblings, there is no exception to this policy.
Late Payment Penalties: Weekly fees are due on the Friday prior to the week of care. If fees for the week haven't been paid on Friday by end of business, a $5 late fee is assessed and a $3 late fee is assessed each day thereafter. (Example: If your tuition is $60/week and you cannot make payment until Thursday, you would add $5 for Monday., and $3 for Tues. and $3 for Wed ect.) If you will not be making full payment on Friday, or at least Monday morning including the late fee, remember to make other arrangements for your child. Your child cannot return to our program until full payment of the balance due has been made.
Weekly fees and days are not transferable and are not credited for any reason for time not attended. In the rare case of a refund, we will issue the refund by way of credit to the program. Monetary refunds are handled on a case by case basis. If there is a monetary refund issued please allow 3-5 business days to process. Approval for refund, must be approved by the board.
Weekly fees are based on being in the program, and not attendance. Once you register, payments will start immediately. If you do not plan to start your child when you register, please wait and register when you are ready to start.
