1. Our Tuition Policy requires payment by one of two methods
- The first method is MONTHLY (due by the 7th). Tuition will be calculated on a monthly basis determined by the number of days on your child's specific program. This amount shall be discounted 5% for payment in advance.
- The second method of payment is WEEKLY (due the Friday before). Weekly tuition clients are required to place a deposit equivalent to two weeks of their child's scheduled tuition in addition to the first week's charge paid in advance.
- If monthly or weekly payments become past due, Carden Academy will charge a late fee of $20.00 after the 10th day. Carden reserves the right to remove students from school until the tuition is brought current.
2. FAMILY DISCOUNT - A Discount of 5% will be given to the youngest pre-school child enrolled in Carden Academy.
3. No Credit will be given for days missed.
4. If you are planning to be absent from Carden Academy's Pre-School for a week or longer, please inform the Pre-School Director of those specific dates.
5. Morning Program children who wish to stay later on any given day must get permission from the Pre-School Director prior to that day. The schedule change must be approved by the Pre-School Director. The cost is $10.00 per hour.
6. To change your child's specific program, a parent request must be made directly to the Pre-School Director. Changes may only be made upon the approval by the Pre-School Director.
7. An extra day, which is requested and approved of the Pre-School Director, costs $45.00.
8. If an additional day is added to your specific program without a request and without approval by the Pre-School Director, the cost is $50.00.
9. Our Policy is to charge a $25.00 fee for any check that must be submitted for payment a second time.
