Payment Schedule: 

Tuition payments are due every Monday of the week (for weekly payments).  For monthly payments, they are due by the 3^rd of each month.  Every Monday, tuition can be paid anytime between 7:00 AM to 12:30 PM.  If you miss this entire day, please make an appointment with Chew Ling Young to pay on Tuesday.  If you need special arrangements in terms of pay dates, please contact Ms. Chew Ling Young as well.  If a holiday falls on a Monday, tuition can be paid on Tuesday. 

Late Payments

For monthly paying parents, a late fee of $40 will be assessed if tuition is not paid by the 3^rd of each month.  For weekly paying parents, a late fee of $10 will be assessed each time the tuition is not paid by Tuesday.  For each day after the due date, an additional $10 late fee will be added for both monthly and weekly rate parents.

Vacation/Sick Days

For each academic year, a child is eligible for 2 weeks of vacation/time off without the risk of losing their position in the program.  If for any reason, including sickness, vacation or personal, your child needs to miss any days of school, please notify our office immediately.

In some uncommon instances, credit hours will be granted to parents who have already paid for the tuition but the child had to miss school.  Credit hours will only be granted if and only if the days absent are the majority of the week (4 or more days) AND if there is at least one week advance notice or accompanied by a physician’s notice.  The credit will be forms of days, not in tuition deduction.  The request for credit days must be accompanied by a doctor’s notice. 

Please speak to Judith Yu Dai, Director, regarding any questions, or requests for credit days.
