Contracted Hours:For those needing consistent weekly care.  A monthly contract based on $4.00 per hour will be agreed upon by both the parents and the Director, which will create a minimum charge and will be added to monthly tuition.  Unused hours will not be reimbursed, but may be substituted for another day during the week.  Contracted hours may change on a monthly basis after agreed upon by the Director and parent.

 

Supplementary Hours:  For additional hours needed above contracted hours and the occasional hours needed by non-contracted families.  Families are asked to notify staff of needed hours ahead of time to ensure adequate staffing is on hand.  Staffing may not be available for every request.  Hours used will be added to the account and paid for the following month.
