Tuition Agreement
The school relies upon its enrollment commitments in planning for the year. Parents are required to sign the tuition agreement and return it to the school by date requested. Please keep a copy for your records.

Tuition and Fees
Please refer to the tuition schedule for your child's tuition amount. The tuition is an annual fee. It is divided into ten payments for your convenience. Tuition payments are due on the first day of each month; beginning September 1 through June 1. There will be a $20.00 late fee after the tenth of each month. Please make checks payable to:

No personal vacations, holidays, illness or snow day credit will be given at any time. Payment for the entire month is required to reserve a space for your child whether or not he/she is present at school.

Late Policy
Our late pick up policy is that any child here after 5:00pm will be charged $30.00. After 5:15pm you will be charged another $5.00 for every 5 minutes thereafter. If you anticipate being late please call either the school (301-737-2421) or the daycare house (301-737-1398).

Withdrawal
The tuition is calculated as one child's share of the year's operating expenses. Therefore, it is essential that parents understand that there can be no reduction or remission of fees if the child withdraws before the end of the school year. However, it is understood that circumstances arise that require you to withdraw your child and each request will be evaluated on an individual basis. Each child enters the school on a thirty-day trial basis. During the thirty-day period the parent or the school may recommend withdrawal without penalty. After thirty-days if the directress decides the child would function best in another type of environment the child may withdraw without penalty.
