ENROLLMENT

A signed contract, and a non-refundable deposit which includes a $50 enrollment fee and one full-week’s tuition to be applied towards the first full week of care, is required to hold your spot for a period of 2 weeks. The remainder of the enrollment forms must be completed and returned on or before the first day of enrollment. Positions will not be held and will be considered “OPEN” unless a contract is signed and appropriate enrollment fees are paid. All forms are subject to annual renewal and must be kept up-to-date. An opening may be held for a longer period of time with advance payment and length of time agreed upon between the parent and the provider.

TUITION          

Payment is due weekly on the Friday prior to the week of care. Charges to the parent are subject to change with a two-week notice given to the parent. Weekly payment is due whether your child is in attendance or not; the only exception is provider vacation. There will be a $25.00 returned check fee for any check that is returned. A two-week deposit is required in the spring, from those who do not attend during the summer, to hold your spot for fall. I issue annual tax receipts for each family who I have provided care to for the year. In the case of divorced parents, I only accept payment from the custodial parent and I issue a receipt to the custodial parent for the total amount paid for the year. If there are any other payment arrangements offered by the divorce decree, the arrangements must be handled between the parents. Tuition for school-age children is paid every week throughout the school year, no discounts given for non-school days.

TRIAL PERIOD

 All children enter my home on a trial basis of three weeks to ensure proper adjustment. During the three-week period, either party may cancel with a one-day notice. After the trial period, the terminating party must give a two-week notice however, a longer notice is accepted and encouraged.
