Tuition

Please please contact Assistant Director for current rates for the current fee schedule.

• Our program charges its tuitions on a monthly basis and only allows exception
to full monthly payments upon enrollment. Full monthly tuition is due when
initial enrollment occurs on days 1-15 of your first month. A 50% payment is
due when enrolling on or after day 16.

• Tuition should be made to "Smith Family TreeHouse", and can be dropped off
at the school in the designated tuition box located on the lobby counter. All
cash payments must be hand delivered to the Person-in-Charge, and a receipt
will be provided.

• Monthly payments are due in full on the 1st of each month. Monthly payments
are considered late if not received by the 3rd @ 6pm. Late fees of $5/day
effective starting the 1st will apply.

• A School Year Registration requires a $75 non-refundable fee per child upon
enrollment. A $50 non-refundable re-enrollment fee per child is due at re-enrollment
time. Each family will receive 2 keys upon enrollment. Additional keys
can be purchased at $10/key. Returning your key upon withdrawal is greatly
appreciated.

• A Summer Registration requires a $25 non-refundable activity fee per child
due by May 1st, and may be included in May's monthly tuition payment.

• A ONE-MONTH non-refundable last month deposit is due prior to enrollment
to guarantee space.

• Tuition is not reduced for snow days, vacations, illness, or holidays, professional
development days or special events as planned by our school.

• Each child must be picked up promptly at the end of his or her scheduled
program. We require parents who anticipate having difficulty picking up their
children on time to make back-up arrangements and to notify our center. If
a child is left at Smith Family past their scheduled program or past our 6:00pm
closing time, the following late fees will be charged:

From 6:01pm-6:05pm $10.00
For each 15 -minute increment after
6:05pm, there is an additional $20.00 late fee.

A TWO-WEEK written notice is required to decrease your family's schedule.
More than one change in a given school year requires a $20 administration
fee. A new child Parental Agreement form must be completed for each
schedule change.

• Each family is expected to follow their contracted schedule and adhere to
their usual arrival time and usual departure time as written on their parental
agreement form and as stated at the time of enrollment. A deviation in the
contracted schedule jeopardizes our proper child-teacher ratios and may
result in late fees.

• Extra hours can be added when approved by the Director on an available
space basis only. All requests are approved by the Director and are based
upon a first-come-first-serve basis. Extra hours are available at a cost of
$10.00/hour increments per child; but not to exceed 10 hours in a given day.

• At least a ONE-MONTH written notice to the Director is required to withdraw
from the program. Following such notification, the FULL ONE-MONTH
deposit is applied to the month of your family's last day and NO PARTIAL
PAYMENTS WILL BE ARRANGED. Coordination of your withdrawal notice
with your family's last day is strongly recommended. See our Director for
guidance.

• If a check is returned due to insufficient funds, the check must be replaced in
addition to the $15 penalty charge. Two returned checks will be cause for
accepting future payments by money order.

• Families with more than one child AND enrolled for more than 30 hours per
week will receive a 10% sibling discount. The discount is applied to the sibling
attending the least expensive program.

• Smith Family reserves the right to make changes to the policies and tuition
schedules with 30 days written notice.
