FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
We are committed to serving all, regardless of ability to pay. Our Annual Campaign raises funds for families in need of financial assistance. This past year, over 800 youth in our Child Care programs received some level of financial assistance. If you think you may qualify, please apply!
We also accept DHHS vouchers, ASPIRE, and Transitional Assistance Funds. Please contact us if you qualify for this funding.
Withdrawal Policy
In order to withdraw your child from the program, our Child Care Director must receive two (2) weeks notification. The two-week notice is effective from the date the notification is received. If we do not receive written notice of a withdrawal, you will be charged for the weeks your child was still registered. Please make it a point to contact and speak with your Child Care Director in these matters. Registration fee is nonrefundable and nontransferable.
