FEE POLICY STATEMENT

TUITION RATES:  Monthly statements will be sent by Procare on the 1st of each month, detailing the tuition amount owed. Tuition is considered late after the 7th of each month. Tuition is based on 10 payments. Payments #1 through #9 are due the 7th of each month from September through May. Payment #10 is a half payment due the 7th of June. Any financial issues that arise can be discussed with the director and will be addressed in a confidential manner. 

Tuition payments are paid online through the Procare app. Fees associated with online payments made through Procare are passed along to the parents. See table for calculation rate.

A non-refundable registration fee of $225 for new families or $175.00 for returning families is required for official enrollment and is due at the time of registration. Tuition is a yearly fee for both part-time and full-time schedules, payable annually, semiannually, or in monthly installments.

Sibling Discount: Families with multiple children enrolled in our preschool receive a 10% tuition discount for the second and third children. No tuition refunds will be given for days of illness or vacation. Full tuition payment is expected to secure your child’s place in the classroom.

Prorate/ No Refunds: If your start date is after the first day of your child’s program, the tuition rate is prorated based on the number of days your child is enrolled. If the preschool closes due to a response to natural disasters or emergencies, no refund will be given for closed days, and tuition will not be prorated. We will follow the recommendations of the Irvine Unified School District in response to an Irvine-wide situation. We will follow the recommendations of the Orange County superintendent for county-wide situations.


Schedule Change: 1x Free of Charge. $65.00 for each additional change (space permitting).

 

Late Pick-Up Policy: $10.00 for every 5 minutes per incident will be added to the next month's tuition invoice. Calling the preschool does not prevent the late charge. Repeated late pick-ups may affect your child's enrollment.
