Payment: Payment is due in full on Friday (before the week of service). There are no post payment options. If the holiday should fall on the payment day, then payment of service is expected (Thursday) the day before the holiday. For example; if the 4th of July (or any holiday) should fall on Friday, payment should be received on the Thursday before. If Christmas falls on a Thursday, payment should be received on that Wednesday before. All payments / fees must be paid in full and on time. A late fee of $30.00 per day will be due for payment received after 6:00pm Friday. Payment is due Friday evening at pick-up (or by 6:00pm). If your child(ren) is/are absent for any reason on the day of payment, the Parents / Guardians are still responsible for making sure the payment is received, or a late fee will incur. Parents / Guardians are responsible for paying a regular weekly fee even when the child(ren) is absent for any reason.
