Question:  Where do I pay?

Answer:  Payments should always be placed in a payment envelope and put directly into the payment box located on the wall by the back playground doors.  Please ask any daycare staff member for assistance in locating the box.  Cash payments should NOT be placed in this box.  Please take any cash payments to the main office and the office staff will give you a receipt.

Question:  Do I still pay when my child is sick/not in attendance?

Answer:  Parents are still responsible for full payment of each day daycare is open regardless of your child’s attendance.
