Payment Options
All accounts are set up for automatic payments through Tuition Express, which processes payments using Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or a checking account.
Available Payment Plans:
- Monthly: Processed on the first business day of each month.
- Weekly: Processed each Monday.
- Idaho Child Care Program (ICCP): We accept reimbursements through ICCP. Please refer to your enrollment packet for details.
You may make payments before the due date. If your account balance is $0.00 before the scheduled payment, no automatic payment will be processed.
🚫 CASH PAYMENTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED AT ANY LOCATION.
Declined/Returned Payment Policy
- Returned Checking Account Payments: A $25.00 fee will be added to your account.
- Declined Credit/Debit Card Payments: A $5.00 processing fee will be applied. Each additional declined payment within a calendar year will increase by $5.00 (e.g., 1st = $5, 2nd = $10, 3rd = $15, etc.).
- If a payment is declined/returned, parents will be notified by email. The balance must be paid by the end of the second business day to avoid service suspension.
- Payments for declined transactions can be made online at MyProcare.com, by phone, or by check/money order delivered to the District Office (cash is not accepted).
If a declined payment causes Tuition Express to close your account, you must submit a different payment method at least two business days before the next payment due date to avoid service suspension.
Billing Procedures

- Contracted days cannot be rotated or substituted.
