*Part time is defined as three (3) days or less per week.

**Back up care is available for families in the event that their routine child care provider is unavailable, or for temporary care purposes. Back up care is provided only if pre-registration is completed. Payment will be expected at the time the child is brought for care. This service will be provided on a first come, first served basis. A one hour notice is requested.

***For currently enrolled school age students in the event that school is out for Summer (S) or a week break (B) the weekly cost is $110.00 for a full week or a part time rate of $25.00 per day

In the event a child is off of school (i.e. school conference or early dismissal) an additional $15.00 per day is added to child’s tuition.

Parents who wish to change their child's days or times of enrollment at Lake Shore Learning Center, Inc., must submit a request to do so two weeks in advance of the proposed change. Schedule changes are subject to a change fee of $50.00. The Center Director will notify the parents in writing if the new schedule is available. A schedule change will not be considered to be final until a new fee agreement is signed. If the schedule change requires an additional deposit and/or enrollment fee, the change will also be contingent upon payment of these fees. If the requested schedule is not available, parents may choose to continue with the current schedule until such time as the requested schedule becomes available or may choose to withdraw their child from the program. The date the request for the Center Director receives the schedule change will be used to toll the two weeks notice required for withdraw.

Clients who receive subsidy are required to pay for holidays that the center is closed at the center's rate. These holidays are generally not covered by subsidy and tuition is due the first day of care the week of the holiday.

There is a multi-child discount of $10.00 that will be deducted from the oldest child's, full- time weekly rate.

For private clients, tuition is due on Monday or the first day of service for the week of care. Tuition may be paid by cash, check, debit card, credit card or money order. Receipts will be given for tuition payments made by cash. Payments are to be placed in the tuition mailbox located at the main entrance of the center. All cash payments must be placed in an envelope in the mailbox. You must put your name and the child's name on the envelope. Receipts for cash payments may be given upon request. If paying by check, please write your child's name in the memo. Your canceled check will serve as your receipt for payments made by check. There will be a $35.00 fee charged for checks returned by the bank. The check and fee must be paid within 2 days of notice. If at any future time the bank returns a check, all future payments must be made by cash, certified check, credit card or money order.

Tuition does not include fees for field trips and extra curricular activities.

Parents/guardians may take their child(ren) out of the center for any amount of time they choose. However, the parent/guardian is still responsible for the weekly or monthly tuition. Each full time child is eligible for a one-week tuition free vacation after the he/she have been enrolled in the program for one year and the center is provided with a two week advanced notice. This is the only time one week of tuition will be waived. This vacation time must be used in five consecutive days and holds no cash value.
