Availability / General Interest
We’d love to talk to you about our centers! We recommend that you begin your search for childcare several months in advance of the desired start date to ensure placement and to prepare for a smooth transition.
If you have any questions regarding enrollment or would like a tour at any our Centers, please fill out the form below and choose the location you are most interested in. If you have more than one, your information can be shared with those locations once we contact you. Each center holds their own enrollment and will be able to add you to their waiting list.
Reserving a Spot
We prefer for you to tour our center(s), speak with the director to make sure the center has an opening in the program you want before reserving a spot for your child.
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.
Please note: We charge a fee for changing your contract in the middle of the year.
Waiting List
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
- All other interested children.
Within these categories, our waiting list is based on the first date that contact was made with the center and the schedule that is needed.
Tuition
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 $25 assessed on any payments received after the 10th. NSF checks will incur a $30 fee.
Parents who pick up children after our closing time will be charged $1 per minute.
To view our current rates, please see: 2023 fee schedule
