To find out about availability at all of our locations, please
contact our Family Services Coordinator,
Shauna Dillard. To set up a tour of any of our locations, please contact the center director of that site. We recommend that you begin your search for childcare several months in advance of the desired start date to ensure placement and prepare for a smooth transition.
After you have toured our center(s), speak with the director to make sure the center has an opening in the program you want. You may reserve your child's spot by signing a contract and making a deposit of one month's tuition plus a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $100. We require one month's notice, in writing, to terminate the contract. If your needs should change before your child attends the program, your deposit is refundable up to thirty days prior to scheduled start date.
Children are given priority for enrollment in our program in this order:
- Currently enrolled children who wish to change schedules or locations
- Siblings of currently enrolled children
- Children living in the center's elementary school districts
- All other interested children.
- Within these categories, our waiting list is based on the first date that contact was made with the center
Tuition is a set monthly fee based on the number of days your child is scheduled to attend. This reserves the opportunity for your child to attend. If s/he is absent due to illness or vacation, your tuition remains the same. Tuition is due on the first day of each month, with a late fee of $20 assessed on any payments received after the 10th.
