Holding Fees
In the event that a family would like to hold their child(ren)’s spot in our program for a period of time at least 2 weeks and not for more than 3 months because of maternity leave, family emergency, health issue, loss of job, etc., a holding fee may be charged. This fee may also be charged to new families who are enrolling for a later period when an immediate opening is available. The fee will be equal to the child’s one day a week rate found at above. The fee is charged according to the time of year that the spot is being held for. The child or children are welcome to attend one scheduled day a week or not attend as long as the fee is being paid. This fee holds the child(ren)’s contracted spot for up to 3 months. If payment is not received when due, then it will be assumed that the spot is no longer being held and is open for enrollment by another family as of the following Monday. The holding fees are not refundable.
