Information Regarding the Deposit and Your Child’s Start Date
The below information is provided, because in the past it has been an area of confusion for some. So

Deposit: A nonrefundable deposit equal to two weeks of childcare costs is due at time of enrollment.

Start Date: Based on points already stated above, your child’s start date is agreed upon between parent
and provider at the time of enrollment. In other words, in order for us to continue to hold your child’s
spot, childcare fees need to start being paid beginning on the date that is originally agreed upon and...
