Enrollment
Enrollment is not complete until all required enrollment forms, health records, emergency contact information, signed authorizations, and applicable fees have been received.
A non-refundable enrollment fee of $100.00 per child is due at the time of enrollment for all first-time enrollees.
Tuition & Payment
Tuition is due in advance. Weekly and bi-weekly tuition payments are due on the Friday before care is rendered, or on the child’s last scheduled day of attendance for that week.
Monthly tuition payments are due by the 7th of each month unless otherwise stated in writing.
Late Payments
If payment is not received by 12:00 AM Saturday morning, a $25.00 late fee will be added to the account, plus $10.00 per day until the balance is paid in full.
Children may not return to care until all tuition, late fees, and outstanding balances are paid in full.
No Tuition Adjustments
Tuition is not reduced, credited, refunded, or adjusted due to absences, holidays, vacations, emergency closings, illness, suspension, or any other reason, unless approved in writing by the Executive Director.
Late Pick-Up
Parents/guardians are responsible for picking up their child by their contracted pick-up time. If a child is picked up late, a late pick-up fee of $10.00 per minute will be charged.
Repeated late pick-ups may result in termination of childcare services.
Health & Illness
Children who are ill may be required to stay home or be picked up early. Parents/guardians must pick up an ill child within one hour of notification.
Medication will not be administered without written permission and must be in its original container.
Emergency Closings
The center may close, delay opening, or dismiss early due to inclement weather, utility outages, public health concerns, natural disasters, staffing emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Parents will be notified through Brightwheel, phone, email, website updates, or other available methods.
Transportation
Daily transportation requires written parental authorization. Parents/guardians must provide accurate pick-up and drop-off locations, authorized release persons, emergency contacts, and schedule information.
Field Trips
Written parental authorization is required for each field trip. Children may not attend a field trip without a completed and signed Field Trip Authorization Form.
Vacations & Absences
Parents/guardians must provide written notice when their child will be absent due to vacation or planned leave. Regular tuition remains due during vacations and absences in order to hold the child’s space.
Withdrawal / Termination by Parent
Parents/guardians must provide a 30-day written notice before withdrawing their child from Children's Discovery & Learning Center LLC. Notice must be received by the last business day of the month in order to count as a full month’s notice.
Tuition remains due during the notice period, whether or not the child attends. Security deposits are not refunded. If proper written notice is provided and the account is current, the security deposit may be applied toward the child’s final two weeks of care.
Failure to provide proper written notice may result in forfeiture of the security deposit, and the parent/guardian will remain responsible for all tuition, fees, collection costs, court costs, and attorney’s fees allowed by law.
Termination by Provider
Children's Discovery & Learning Center LLC reserves the right to terminate childcare services for non-payment, failure to follow center policies, repeated late pick-ups, behavior or safety concerns, failure to provide required documents, or if the center determines that the child’s needs cannot be safely or reasonably met by the program.
Termination may be immediate in cases involving safety concerns, serious policy violations, non-payment, or disruption to center operations.
