An annual registration fee is charged each September. Tuition payments for the program are considered late if not paid by 2:00 p.m. on Monday. Any payment after 2:00 p.m. will be charged a $25 late fee. There will be a charge for each returned check ($30). Two returned checks will result in your account being placed on “cash only” status.

If a payment is a two days late the child’s spot will be let go.
