TUITION INFORMATION
PAYMENT
Payments are due the 15th of the month for the following month.
If families need to cancel, they must cancel by the 12th of the month. They can cancel by emailing Alesha Clayton at [email protected].
Tuition will automatically be withdrawn from the bank or credit card account on file. Any payments that decline on the due date are subject to a $25.00 late fee. We do not mail out statements or bills. Our payment procedure allows parents to pay for child care in one of two ways, either a Bank Draft Method or a Credit Card Payment. The Bank Draft Method allows parents to have the monthly tuition fee drawn from their bank account on a monthly basis. The Credit Card Draft allows parents to designate which Credit Card they would like to use and we will automatically charge it on a monthly basis. Both the Bank Draft and the Credit Card Draft will be done on the 1st of each month.
PROGRAM POLICIES & PROCEDURES
PICK-UP OF CHILDREN
At the time of enrollment, parents/guardians will complete our Pick-Up Policy & Authorization form which asks for the names and dates of birth of all individuals who will be authorized to pick up their child. Only the individuals who are listed on this form are authorized to pick up children from the School Age Child Care Program. These individuals must be at least 18 years old and present a government-issued photo ID at the time of pick up. We will not release children to anyone who is not on the pick-up list and/or neglects to present proper identification. If parents/guardians would like to add an individual to the list; please do so in writing to the Director at least 24 hours in advance.
Late Pick-Up Policy
If parents/guardians arrive 5 minutes after program’s scheduled end time, they will be charged $1/ per minute, per child thereafter. Late fee payments will be automatically charged to the credit card and/or banking information on file.
Please understand that our staff has additional responsibilities that they need to attend to after closing time. If parents/guardians are running late and are able to call us, please do so. This call however, does not release parent/guardian from paying the late fee.
SCHOOL CLOSING POLICY
The School Age Child Care Programs will not run on the days that school is not in session. Please refer to the program site’s calendar for specific dates located in the Emergency Contact Forms.
Half Day School Closings
On days when a half-day due to Teacher’s Conferences or In-Service Training occurs, the School Age Child Care Program will begin at the early dismissal time. These half-day closings are included in the monthly tuition amount if that day is a child’s regularly scheduled day to attend the School Age Child Care Program. If not, there will be an additional charge for that day.
Full Day School Closings
On days when a full-day closing occurs (i.e. Teacher’s Convention, In-Service, etc.), care will not be provided for the full day.
Holidays
The School Age Child Care Programs do not operate on the following holidays: Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day, President’s Day and Memorial Day.
Vacations
During full-week closings, when space is available, vacation camps will be offered at Hillsborough YMCA. However, this will entail a separate registration and fee and is not part of the monthly tuition amount.
Note: During all half-day and week long vacations, children must bring their own lunch and drink.
SNOW DAYS POLICY
When the school is dismissed early due to inclement weather, After School Care is unavailable. The school will send children home. When this happens, it is the parent’s responsibility to contact the school to inform them how children will get home; whether it will be by bus or parent will pick them up. The school will not dismiss a child who attends After School Care unless they hear directly from a parent on an early dismissal day due to inclement weather. For emergency closing information, please visit franklinboe.org
If weather becomes bad during the After Care hours, parents/guardians will be called for an early pick-up.
HEALTH POLICIES
Parental Consent for Emergency Treatment
In the event a child gets injured, St. Peter’s Hospital New Brunswick will provide emergency treatment.
