Finances/Tuition Policy

The cost for the primary program is $6650 for the 2010/2011 school year. This tuition covers the 9-3 school
day. Children may be left as early as 8 am and picked up as late as 5:00 pm.  Extra hours are assessed a
charge of $6.00 per hour or any part of an hour.  (Kindergarten tuition is tax-deductible.)

A two-month non-refundable deposit(first and last) is due in installments May 15th and June 15th.  Space is
limited and early registration is encouraged.  An initial $125 registration fee is due upon enrolling. $100 will
be credited toward your first month's tuition.  The second installment(last month tuition) is due by June 15th.

Tuition payments are due the last week of each month for the upcoming month. After a one week grace
period, a late fee of $10 per week will be assessed for tuition unpaid by the due date.  No account may have
more than a one month balance at any time.  In addition to the daily late fees, any unpaid balance beyond
this time will be assessed a finance charge of 1 1/2 % a month or 18% annually.  There will be a $20 service
charge to cover bank fees for any checks returned to us for insufficient funds.  By enrolling your child you
agree that you have read and understand DELC tuition policies and agree to meet your financial obligations.
By enrolling your child you also agree to pay this annual amount whether your child attends the entire
school year or any part of it. All reasonable collection charges, including attorney fees, will apply to
delinquent accounts.




I have read and understand the DELC tuition policies and agree to meet my financial responsibilities.
