Monthly tuition rates are based on the total ten-month operational cost of the program. Tuition is billed on a monthly basis and issued through email.
Tuition is due by the fifth of every month. Please note that full tuition will be charged for the times you indicated, even if your child misses due to illness, vacations, or any other reason. Any exceptions to this rule can only be made by the director.
