*Revised 11/1/2017
*When enrolling your child at our center, you are reserving the time, space, staff, and provisions for your child whether or not he or she attends. As such, you will still be charged the full rate regardless of your child's absence. Please understand that this is standard business practice that ensures continuity of our program and ensures your child's reserved space. If the center must close due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g. hurricane, fire, etc), your account will be credited for the number of business days that we are out of operation. Under normal operating conditions, please be aware that there is still a charge during holiday closures; this ensures continuity of program operations for everyone and it enables our staff to enjoy well-deserved time off to enjoy their own families.
*Upon enrollment, we require a one time non-refundable $100 program fee (this does not apply to those enrolled prior to 414/17).
*All childcare fees are expected to be PAID IN ADVANCE OF PROVIDING CARE. PAYMENTS ARE DUE ON MONDAY OF THE WEEK BEFORE care is provided. Effective Monday 11/6/17, if your payment is not received by the time you pick up your child or at the close of business at 6pm, your child MAY NOT RETURN ON TUESDAY. There will be only 2 exceptions to this policy:
1) Payment can be made on Tuesday morning AT DROP OFF TIME ONLY--NOT AT PICK UP TIME! IT IS ALSO TO INCLUDE A $50 LATE FEE. Do not expect to be able to drop off your child on Tuesday without both the tuition payment AND the late fee. No exceptions.
2) If you or your child is hospitalized and you are generally prevented from paying on Tuesday. Note: You may be asked to provide documentation in order to confirm and have the late fee waived.
*If you know your child will be absent on Monday for vacation, general illness, etc., it is STILL YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to provide payment on MONDAY. You can always call in a payment over the phone. If not, please do not be surprised that there will be a $50 late fee if it is not received on Monday by the close of business at 6pm.
*Effective Monday 11/6/17, we will not "hold" or accept post dated checks.
*Effective Monday 11/6/17, all returned NSF checks will incur both a $50 returned check fee and a $50/day late fee until the matter is resolved. After 2 NSF checks, we will no longer accept a check payment from you.
*Effective Monday 11/6/17, there is a $20/hour late pick up fee or $5/15 minutes) that will be added to your next expected payment. We greatly appreciate if you provide us notice, but unless there is reported traffic issues, this fee will be charged regardless.
**WE REQUIRE A WRITTEN TWO WEEK NOTICE OF TERMINATION if you are withdrawing your child. If you decide to terminate without a 2 week written notice, you will STILL be billed accordingly for the remaining time period of 2 weeks after you withdraw your child.
*ALL UNPAID ACCOUNTS, as well as a copy of your signed tuition contract, WILL BE TURNED OVER TO ATTORNEYS LYNCHARD, GREELEY, & ASSOCIATES, AND TO EMERALD COAST COLLECTIONS.
*We reserve the right to increase rates as necessary to offset program costs, however, we will provide a written 30 day notice.
