PAYMENT POLICY

RATES AND PAYMENT
Our rate is a year-round tuition, which is broken down into weekly rates, which guarantees your child a full-time year-round slot.  This rate is subject to change upon 30 days written  notice.  Payment is due by the first of the month.  Bills will be available for pick-up by the 21st day of the preceding month.  Tuition payment should be made payable by check only to The Blue Kangaroo Day School. We do not accept cash or credit cards as form of payment.  The amount due is the weekly tuition multiplied by the number of Monday’s in that month.  We offer a 10% discount (to the oldest child) to families with 2 or more children attending 2 or more full days per week. Sibling discounts do not apply to daily/weekly drop in rates. 

If a payment is received after the 5th day of the month, an additional 10% service charge will be billed and due along with that months tuition. *An alternate payment plan can be made available if needed.

OVERTIME
Our regular hours are Monday thru Friday, 7:00am – 6:00pm.  Extended hours are available on a contracted basis only and must be arranged at time of the contract or made part of a revised contract.  Please call if you will be delayed. Late fees beyond your contracted pick up time will be assessed at a rate of $20.00 per 15 minutes over the contracted time. These rates apply if you are not contracted for extended hours.  Late fees after 7:00pm will be assessed $25.00 per 15 minutes.  We are not licensed to have children in the building after 7:00 pm  therefore alternate arrangements MUST be made for an alternate pick up.

TERMINATION OR PARTIAL CHANGE IN THE CONTRACT
A written notice of thirty days in advance of termination or any change in contract must be presented to the director of The Blue Kangaroo Day School, Inc. A contract can not be changed or broken until 30 days after the start date of the signed contract. In lieu of notice, the fee for thirty days must be paid upon termination and the two-week deposit will not be applied to any amount due. As a courtesy, The Blue Kangaroo will allow parents to suspend a contract (ex; summer months/July & August). A minimum of 30 days written notice is required and deposit will remain on account. A new contract must be signed immediately in order to reserve a space. A space will be reserved for a 60 day minimum contract suspension. Otherwise, contracts less than 60 days will result in forfeiting your space. All deposits will be refunded in your last month’s tuition and you will be required to re-enroll based on space and availability. During a suspended contract weekly drop-ins will not be permitted.

**PLEASE NOTE-Termination of a signed contract prior to a child’s schedule start or re-enrollment date will result in loss of deposit. A 30 day written notice will only be accepted after the start date of the contract.

We reserve the right to terminate this contract at anytime. If this is necessary, deposit money minus any fees incurred prior to the termination date will be returned to the parents.
