Tuition and fees are due by the 15th of each month. Tuition and fees received within five (5) business days after the 15th will incur a $25 late charge. If tuition and fees are not paid within five (5) business days after the 15th, childcare services are immediately canceled.

Our established policies regarding enrollment require a mandatory non-refundable two-week deposit for each child enrolled in our program. The center must be notified if, for any reason, your child has to be withdrawn from the school. A minimum of one month's written notice is required. Upon receipt of written notice, your two-week deposit will be credited to your last month of service. Without notification, your deposit will not be refunded.

If you do not pick up your child by 12:30 p.m., you will be charged for a full day.

The center is officially closed at 5:30 p.m. If a child is picked up after 5:30 p.m., there will be a charge of $1 per child for each minute past 5:30 p.m. If this occurs, the teacher will ask the parent to sign a late fee form and compensate accordingly.  

The Child Care Center accepts children participating in the Illinois Department of Family and Human Services Action for Children program and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services Protective/Family Maintenance Day Care programs.
