Full time rate is $175 per week based on five 8.5 hour days. A $5 per hour charge for additional time, rounded up to the nearest half hour, will apply. Lunch and two snacks included.

2) ILLNESS
If I become ill there will be no charge to you for the the day(s) I am closed.
If your child does not attend, since your spot is reserved, I still charge the regular rate. Please advise me as soon as possible if your child will be absent due to illness.
Parents agree that a child who is ill with flu-like symptoms (e.g. fever, infection, diarrhea, communicable disease, or any other type of illness that may be passed on to others, with the exception of the common cold) will be kept at home until they have been symptom free, without the aid of symptom-reducing medications such as Tylenol, for a full 24 hours.
