Cost of Care

Families pay a fee for childcare. The fee is set according to a sliding fee 
scale based on the family's gross monthly income and its total number of dependents. Many families are eligible for state subsidized childcare. To qualify, your income must meet the eligibility requirement, and you must need childcare because you are employed, in school or some kind of training program. Fees are paid a week in advance, and we collect fees on Monday mornings. Families wishing to make alternate arrangements must discuss them in advance with the Childcare Director when enrolling their children. No child will be admitted to the Center if payments are not up-to-date. Full tuition is charged for all days, including agency holidays and family vacations. One exception to this rule is if your child is absent for a full week due to illness. In such cases, the weekly tuition fee is reduced by half, and you may need to submit a doctor's statement before your child is allowed to return to the Center. Families needing transportation the fee is $5 a day for pick up and drop off. Fees are paid a week in advance, and will be collected on Monday mornings. Or All children need a little time to become oriented to a new environment. On the first day at the Center, we recommend that the parent and child visit for the morning. On the second day, the child may stay all day, depending on how well he or she is adjusting. Parent and director will go over all fees and forms, all fees and forms 
must be current and complete and turned in to the director before the child can start.
