The following policy and procedure changes will be in effect as of Monday, December 3, 2018
DECLINED/RETURNED PAYMENT POLICY
When a checking account payment is returned for any reason, a $25.00 fee will be assessed to the tuition account.
When a credit card payment is declined for any reason a $5.00 processing fee will be assessed to the tuition account. Additional payments declined within a calendar year will be charged a progressive $5.00 fee. Example: The 1st declined/returned payment will incur a fee of $5.00, the second declined/returned payment will incur a fee of $10.00, etc.
The parent will be notified by email that the payment has been declined/returned and will then have until the end of the 2nd business day to pay the balance due on the account. If the payment has not been received by the end of the 2nd business day, services will be suspended until the balance is paid in full.
Declined/Returned payments may be paid online at www.myprocare.com; by calling either the Just For Kids site or district office; or a check/money order may be delivered to the district office at 8169 W. Victory Rd. Cash payments are not accepted at any location. Checks/money orders are not accepted at the Just For Kids sites.
If the declined/returned payment results in the Tuition Express account being closed the parent/guardian must submit a new Tuition Express form using a different payment method. This form must be submitted at least 2 business days before the next payment due date in order to avoid suspension of services.
Billing Procedures:
1. The registration fee will be processed on the day the registration packet is processed.
2. The first tuition payment will be processed on the first day the child attends unless the family is continuing from one session (summer to school year or school year to summer). Continuing families first tuition payment will be processed on the contracted payment date.
3. Billing will begin as designated on the contract start date.
4. The parent/guardian will be billed for contracted days of service and responsible for tuition payment whether the child attends or is absent. Vacation tuition credit will not be given during the school year. Two weeks vacation tuition credit will be allowed during the summer program, provided a Vacation Request Form is submitted at least 5 business days in advance.
5. Parent/guardian may not rotate or substitute contracted days. If a child attends additional days or hours than originally contracted, the parent/guardian will be billed extra charges according to the current drop in rates.
6. There is no grace period given on part time contracts. Part time contracts are for up to 5 hours of care per day according to the contract schedule. If a child attends outside of the contracted schedule an extra charge of $25.00 per day will be billed regardless of the amount of time the child attends outside of the contracted schedule. The same fee applies if a child is dropped off before the contracted start time.
7. One contract change during the summer session and two contract changes during the school year will be allowed at no additional charge to the parent, if a minimum 5 business day notice is given. Further contract changes will be assessed a $15.00 charge. When a contract change adds to the enrollment contract plan, payment for the additional fees will be due upon receipt of the contract change form or on the start date, whichever comes first. When a contract change is submitted with less than 5 business days notice there will be an additional $15.00 charge. This includes contract changes submitted before a new summer or school year session begins.
8. If parent/guardian or designated emergency contract has not picked a child up by 6:00 p.m., a $5.00 per minute fine will be assessed. If parent/guardian or designated emergency contact listed on the enrollment contract, has not been contacted to pick up the child by 6:15 p.m., the Program Coordinator will then notify Health and Welfare. Late pick up fees will be assessed on the next billing statement.
9. All tuition payments will be billed through Tuition Express on the due dates.
10. Parent may view their statements at any time at the Procare Connect App.
11. Extra charges will be billed each billing cycle and payment will be due by the next contracted payment due date. Extra charge rates are posted on our website under ABOUT>TUITION RATES.
12. A $25.00 fee will be charged for checking account payments returned from the bank. A $5.00 fee will be charged for all declined credit or debit card payments. In order to avoid suspension of services, the fee and replacement payment must be paid in full by debit, credit or money order within one business day of notification to the parent.
13. When a credit card payment is declined a $5.00 processing fee will be assessed to the tuition account. Additional payments declined within the calendar year will be charged a progressive $5.00 fee. When an account has reached a maximum of 5 declined payments within a 12 month period, the parent will be offered the option to add a different payer to the account or be withdrawn from the program. If a payment is returned for the new payer the account will be closed and services will be suspended.
14. Cancellation of services must be made on a withdrawal form at least 5 business days prior to the last day of attendance. Any tuition credit balance will be mailed within 30 business days of the last day the child attends. Tuition credit balance refunded must be $15.00 or more. If proper withdrawal procedures have not been followed, refund of the credit balance will not be given.
15. When a family withdraws the open time spots may be given to another family on our waiting list or who registers after the withdrawal is received. There is no guarantee of space availability when a family withdraws and returns at a later date.
