Tuition
Tuition Schedule | Evening Child Care | Other Charges | Tuition Assistance
Weekly child care tuition is calculated on a sliding scale based on both parent/guardians' gross income and the number of days of care needed. Tuition is charged based on the age group in which the child is enrolled, not the age of the child. If multiple children are enrolled, the oldest child is placed one income category below the family category for tuition determination.
Tuition is charged regardless of attendance and of the number of days per week the program is open. Holidays follow official university schedule and tuition is charged for these days.
Tuition is paid in advance of service provided and can be paid with checks, money orders, Visa, and Mastercard. Payment by payroll deduction is also available. No cash is accepted. Failure to maintain payments will result in your child being withdrawn from the program. Returned checks must be paid by money order. After two returned checks, it will be necessary to make payments with money orders.
