By a child’s first day of attendance, a signed Payment Agreement must be submitted to the office. All payments must be made with Tuition Express Electronic Payment System whereby a family can pay through their checking or savings account or MasterCard, Visa, or American Express, and Discover.
Tuition payments are always expected for the number of days a child is enrolled to attend the center. Full payment is expected even in case of absences from the center or when the center is closed (scheduled or not). All payments must be made, in advance of care, on a weekly or monthly basis. Monthly payments must be submitted no later than the first day of the month and payment must be made according to the actual number of days a child is scheduled for the month in question. For example: a child attending the center 3 days a week would usually pay for 12 to 14 days of the month.
Unless a deposit has already been paid, payment for a child’s first week of attendance must be made no later than arrival time of the first day of attendance.
Payment made by check can be placed in the payment box in the office area of the center. Credit card payments can only be made using the Tuition Express Electronic Payment System.
Failure to make tuition payment
A reminder letter will be sent, however, accounts will be charged $25, per week.
At the end of two weeks if payment has not been made, a child’s position at the center may be terminated if a formal Payment Plan has not been agreed to between the family and the Director (all initial late fees will still apply). If, at any time, the Payment Plan is not being adhered to a child’s position at the center may be terminated.
Tuition payment receipts
The frequency or necessity for receipts will be filled out in the Payment Agreement. Receipts will normally be issued by the Wednesday after a payment is made. Each family has a receipt file located in the office area. If a payment was received late then the receipt will be issued the next week. Original receipts are generated by our system only one time, if a receipt must be re-issued it will not look the same as the original as it is not possible with our software program. Through Tuition Express Electronic Payment System, receipts can be accessed through email.
All families will be issued yearly statement for tax purposes no later than January 31st of each year.
