CCA Parent Handbook

Tuition is calculated on a yearly basis and then divided into ten equal payments. Thus, the same amount is paid each payment, even if there is a holiday or a vacation during that payment. This arrangement helps families plan personal budgets.

Tuition is due on the first of the month for the upcoming month.

Example:

• September’s payment is due August 1^st.
• The last payment will be May 1^st for the school year.

Tuition rebates are given for NO reason, including snow days, absences, or for any unforeseen circumstances. We reserve the right to ask you to withdraw your child if we have not received the child’s tuition14 (fourteen) days after the date it is due. The balance of the tuition will be due even if your child withdraws due to the school’s request. If an individual’s check is returned due to insufficient funds twice, subsequent tuition payment must be made in cash or a bank check. The bank fee will be charged for bounced checks. A $15 charge for tuition received one week after the due date.

Withdrawal

Payment In Case of Withdrawal from Program

Each child is enrolled for the entire school year or the balance of the school year. One month prior written notice, or one month tuition, is payable upon a child’s withdrawal from the program before April 1.

No refund of tuition can be made after April 1st for a child enrolled in the 10-month program who wishes to withdraw prior to June. Any child in school as of April 1st will be charged tuition through the close of school in June.

Late charges

The CCA closes promptly at 4:00 pm. No teachers are scheduled to care for children after that time. Any time you are later than scheduled, you will be assessed a late charge. The fees per child are as follows:

Late fee will start at 4:01. This will be tracked in Tadpoles. Starting at 4:01, $5.00 per child.  Every additional 5 minutes increments will be a $15 fee.  Example: 4:06 late = $15, 4:12 late = $30.00.  After 3 late pick-ups, a meeting will be set up and potentially removal from program. 

Please contact us if you anticipate being late and let us know when you can be expected to arrive. If you incur a late fee, you will be given a written notice within two school days. Late fee payments are payable before your child can return to school. This is a difficult, but necessary policy. Your consideration will reduce our need to use it.

Additional Fees

If we need to provide your child with extra clothing, diapers, or lunch repeatedly, you will be charged a $5.00 fee after 2 warnings are given.
