Registration fees and tuition payments may be mailed or paid through the free online payment program after the initial registration. After your initial registration is complete you will be sent an email where you can set up an online account to view your account statement and make monthly payments or set your account up for recurring monthly payments.

​
Monthly charges are posted to your account on the 15th of the month prior to services being rendered. Payments are to be received in the Child Care office or paid thru your online account between the 15th and the 25th of the month prior to services being rendered. (For example: October charges will be posted to your account on September 15th, the payment(s) for the October services is due between September 15th and September 25th). You will not be billed.
Payments not received by the 25th of the month prior to services being rendered are subject to a late fee of $25.00.
Tuition is based on the number of scheduled school days (180) divided into ten (10) equal parts (average of 18 days per month). Therefore, the tuition for all ten months will be identical. (Please note that some months have 22 days and some have as few as 11 days, however the average for all months is 18 days for a total of 180. The monthly tuition remains the same for all months.) There are no refunds or day exchanges for months containing holidays or school closure days (including delayed openings and/or early dismissals) or when a child is out due to illness.
​​You must notify the Child Care Office in writing of any changes to your child’s monthly services.
