20. TUITION. The parent or guardian agrees to pay tuition fees, on or before the first day of each month. Weekly tuition is due on Monday morning at the time of drop-off. If the center is closed on a Monday or your child is absent on Monday for any reason, tuition is still due or a $25 late fee will be added.
*Please be aware that the monthly tuition rate will be adjusted to reflect the calendar months that contain five weeks. In order for you receive the savings discount, you must pay the full monthly rate. (Count the number of Mondays in a month to determine the monthly rate due.*) We accept Visa/Mastercard, and check. We regret that we CANNOT accept cash. 2% fee for all credit and debit card transactions.

Monthly tuition payments are due on the first (1st) and if not paid, the $25.00 late fee will be assessed to the account.

25. ABSENCES. Tuition or other fees must be paid in full without deduction for absences of any duration or for any cause, and without substitution of other days of attendance as “make up” days.

The parent or guardian agrees to furnish Creative Kidz with at least 30 days in advance written notice such date of withdrawal.
