Kids & Company is designed to provide area school children and their parents with an alternative to traditional daycare opportunities. It is not, however, designed to break your bank account! By offering families a sliding fee scale based upon income, Kids and Co. is proud to be affordable to any family who wishes to take advantage of our programs. Contact us for more information reagarding your personal rate or see the FAQs page for the Full Fee outline.

Child Care Fee Explanation:
There are a minimum number of reduced child care fee scholarships available based on your income. These scholarships are awarded on a first come – first served basis to families whose income falls within the required guidelines and who attend full time (both before and after school, 5 days a week). Income reported on the “Free and Reduced Daycare Meals” form, which must be completed upon enrollment, EVEN IF YOU RECEIVE FREE/REDUCED LUNCHES FROM SCHOOL!

How do I pay for my child care?
Return envelopes are available at your Kids & Company site to be used to mailed your payment to the office.

A minimum weekly charge of 5 units will be billed to each family enrolled in Kids & Company. Before school is considered one unit and after-school is considered on unit. Additional units utilized will be added to the minimum charge. After the minimum of 5 units is utilized by your family, only actual attendance will be billed to you. In special cases, arrangements may be made with the site director in advance to credit necessary absences; i.e. vacations or extended illnesses of five or more days, Monday through Friday. If your child is gone more than two weeks from Kids & Company, please call to be sure there will still be space available as we cannot hold slots more than two weeks.

Parents may pay for child care on either a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Payment on a less frequent basis is not acceptable. Weekly invoices shall be provided to parents/guardians at the site by Wednesday of each week for services provided during the previous week. Parents are expected to respond to weekly invoices with payment for services rendered within two weeks of the date of service. Please verify the accuracy of the invoice immediately. Any questions should be brought to the site director’s attention or you can call the main office at 322-8800. Any questions or concerns should be addressed within two months. After that time, the invoice will stand as presented.

Kids & Company does not provide an itemized statement for tax purposes. We suggest that you keep a record of your checks as an accurate account of your child care expenses
