Fees
Enrollment
An enrollment fee will be due in full at the time of enrollment each year. The enrollment fee is non-refundable.
Tuition
The tuition is an annual fee. Annual is defined as nine months or ten months: September through May.
Tuition may be paid annually, semi-annually or monthly. The annual tuition payment is due September 1. Semi-annual tuition payments are due September 1 and January 15. Monthly tuition payments are due the first day of the month beginning in September and ending in May.
Tuition payments paid by check should be made payable to: LPC WEEKDAY PRESCHOOL. Payment envelopes are provided.
Receipts and/or account statements are available upon request by person responsible for payments.
If a child is withdrawn from the program, tuition will be due through the month of withdrawal.
Collection Policy
It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the Director immediately when payment cannot be made so other arrangements can be worked out or if a child is being withdrawn.
In either case full tuition is due until the parent speaks directly to the Director. The Financial Agreement signed at enrollment is a legally bidding contract.
Past due accounts will be dealt with in the following manner:
15 days past due - a reminder notice
30 days past due - a phone call reminder
If after ninety (90) days there has been no response to requests for payment, the account will turned over to the Weekday Preschool Advisory Committee. This could result in the child not being allowed to return until the account is settled and legal action.
