Tuition Policy

  1. Tuition is payable monthly in advance and is due by the 5th day of the month, after which a $25 late fee is added to the account. Exception: If the 5th falls on a weekend or a holiday, payment will be accepted on the following business day without late fees. Parents will be invoiced for any bank fees incurred by SIDC for returned checks.
  1. SIDC is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Preschool and Pre-K classes are open until 6:00 p.m. The center is closed on major holidays and for two full day staff in-service days each year.
  1. Tuition includes cloth diapers. Meals are provided for all classes except Infants.
  1. A $75 non-refundable fee is required for the wait list. Once enrollment is confirmed, a $500 non-refundable deposit, applied to the final month tuition, is required. There is a 10% discount taken off your younger sibling's tuition.
  1. SIDC sponsors the Child and Adult Care Food Program. This program is available to eligible children without regard to race, color, age, sex, or national origin. Any person who believes that he or she has been discriminated against in any USDA-related activity should write immediately to the Secretaryof Agriculture, Washington, D.C.20250.
  1. Tuition Rate During a Transition Month: If a child transitions during the first half of the month, tuition is paid at ½ the younger room rate and ½ the older room rate; if a child transitions during the second half of the month, the full month’s tuition is paid at younger age room rate.

7. Weekly Sponge (Spanish classes) is a standard part of our regular tuition program, and is billed the same way as tuition, although it is shown as a separate line item on our invoice. As with our tuition fees, if a child’s regular weekly schedule includes Sponge class day (currently Mondays) we bill Sponge for the whole month. If a child’s regular schedule does not include Sponge class day, you will be billed only if your child drops in on the day that the class is held.

  1. Stretch ‘n Grow and Music Seed class participation is optional. You will be billed separately at the end of each month only for the classes your child attends during that month.
