 Rates for 2011
Rates usually increase in March.  The rates below can be locked by December 31, 2011 for a start date no later than March 1st 2012.  If you are planning for a start date after March 1st 2012, please check back for the page with "Rates for 2012."  The "2012 Rates" will be published by November 30th.

     Are you comparing rates to centers that charge weekly,
   or that have the kids bring their own lunch?

When comparing monthly and weekly rates don't forget that the different between one month and four weeks.
There are 2 or 3 more days in most months. Each year contains 4 weeks, 13 times.

It's not always possible to have a family dinner every day of the week, but we serve a family style lunch five days a week. 
It saves time and provides the experience of truly communal meals.

FEES:  Tuition payments are due on the 1st or bimonthly payments may be made on the 1st & 15th of each month. 
There is a $15 handling fee for bimonthly payments. Our registration fee is $65.

Billing is calculated and payments are due on a calendar month basis. 

For those using less than 5 days per week, the specific days of the week are under contract.
Extra days and changing a specified days of the week are offered for the appropriate fee.
Day of the week change is $50 per occurrence

 

The ages for changing from one class to the next such as Cubby Bears to Teddy Bears is not necessarily based on age.
It is often based on your child's comfort level and the ages of other children in each class. 
Age is however the only method for determine your child's rate, so your child may be a Teddy Bear for a little while at the Cubby Bear or 1 year old rate.

Since we bill on a calendar month basis, there are a couple of adjustments that are commonly made as a result:
Rates change on the month following your child's birthday. 
At the sole discretion of the Administrator, your child's rate may change during the same month.
An early rate change is considered if there are only a very few days of service before the actual birth date.

Rates are commonly adjusted for start date and end date.
The amount for partial months has be predetermined for each level of service.
Each fee level has a Prorated Per Day Rate (PPDR*) that is published along with rate tables on this page.
One PPDR amount will be charged for each schedule day of service.  There is no credit for absences.
Holidays will not be discounted unless they are within 3 service days of the start or end date.
