Tuition Policy/Contract
4/23/2018 (revised)
Trinity Lutheran Child Care strives to provide the best possible care for your child. With this in mind, this Tuition Policy/Contract was designed to be fair to families in our care while meeting the needs of the Center.
Due Date
We bill out tuition on a monthly basis. We bill on the 1st of the month. Due date will be the 10th. We will offer a 3% discount when paid in full by the 5th of each month. Payments received after the 10th will be assessed a late fee of $25 and child care services will cease until payment or arrangement is received.
Deposit – Monthly Tuition fees will be required by the first day of attendance for all new families.
Automatic Tuition Payments: We prefer the convenience of automatic payments by Tuition Express through our Procare System. Checking, savings, debit*, or credit* card may be used. An annual fee of $5 is charged for this service. *Debit & Credit cards have additional convenience fees.
2nd child discount
A 10% discount will be offered to families with 2 or more children in our care. We will bill your youngest child at the full rate and additional children at the discounted rate. The discount only applies to scheduled days. Drop-in care will be charged at the regular extra day rate.
Two Week Notice
A two week written notice is required for any schedule changes or for discontinued care. If notice is not given, we will bill you for those two weeks of contracted care.
Program Fees
A $25 registration fee is required to initiate any child care services. This is a non-refundable fee that is one time per family. An annual $50 per-child (age 2 & older) art activity fee will be billed each September to help cover classroom projects. An additional $50 (age 2 & older) per-child summer activity fee will be billed each June for children participating in our summer program.
Late Fee
A late fee will be charged to any family that does not pick up their child by 6:05pm. A flat $20 will be charged for the first 10 minutes and an additional $1.00 per minute after 6:15pm. Please make sure you are on time.
Tax Statements
The center will provide tax statements by the end of January for the previous year. These will be emailed out to families. Please make sure we have a current email on file. Paper copies may be furnished upon request.
NSF Checks
We charge a $25.00 return check fee on any returned Check.
State Assistance/Best Beginnings Scholarships
State assisted families will be responsible for any amount over what the state does not pay and will be billed accordingly in addition to the co-payment amount. Co-payments will be due prior to new families starting and then due by the 10th of each following month.
