6. Registration Fee & Tuition

A $75 non-refundable registration fee is required for enrollment.

If payment is not received in full on Monday, care may be refused until the balance is paid in full.

Families receiving DHS/CDC assistance remain responsible for payments according to the child care payment policy. Any applicable DHS/CDC payment received later may be credited to the family’s account according to program policy.

7. Child Care Schedule

Parents must provide an agreed-upon child care schedule before care begins.

The schedule should include:

Schedule changes must follow Lulu Marie’s Child Care LLC Schedule Change Policy.

8. Trial/Adjustment Period

Newly enrolled children may participate in an adjustment or trial period so the provider, child, and family can determine whether the placement is appropriate.

During this period, communication between the provider and parent is especially important.

If the arrangement is not working appropriately for the child, family, provider, or other children in care, Lulu Marie’s Child Care LLC reserves the right to discuss alternative arrangements or discontinue care according to the termination policy.
