Fees
The materials fee is $200 per student. This fee is due upon enrollment for new students. All students pay this fee each July.
Late Pick Up For every 15 minutes after your child's dismissal time, there is a $15 charge per child unless extended care is arranged in advance. The late fee is due that day. Your child may not return to class until the fee is paid. Parents and/or guardians signing the enrollment agreement are responsible for payment of the fee. CCS students dismissal time is set by CCS and late fees will be incurred for late pick ups. It is the parents responsibility to pay the fees, not CCS.
Late Tuition For tuition paid after the fifth of the month, there is a $25 charge per child. After the tenth of the month, the late charge is $35 per child. Students with tuition not paid by the fifteenth of the month may not return to class until account is brought up to date. The records of any student with a delinquent account will be place on hold and not released until full payment has been made. If you participate in the CCS program, CCS will be notified if your payment is late.
Returned Checks A fee of $35 will be charge for a returned check.
Program Changes--If increasing your child's program, kindly give at least one week's notice. Decreases in your child's program require at least one month's notice or a fee of $100 will be incurrred. Rather than charging higher weekly or monthly tuition, we base our tuition on a yearly charge. Therefore it is necessary that we set school programs, curriculum, and staffing accordingly. In order to keep prices as low as possible, it is necessary for our families to support this. Changes in programs affect not only your child, but also the entire school so kindly limit them to semester changes, changes in parents employments and such. You may not change or start and stop enrollment due to school holidays and such.
