Fees and Payment Policy

Payments including late pick-up and emergency procedures are noted on this page. 

Payment Policy

Tuition fees are due on the 1st of each month and are considered late on the 5th.

Returned Checks: All returned checks will accrue a $60.00 fee for service charges. We have a no refund policy. There is a one-time non-refundable

Registration Fee of $150.00 for the first child and $75.00 for every child after.

The registration fee is due upon registering your child. If you keep your child home for any reason, payment is still due. This will ensure that your child continues with us.

If payment is not received, the director has the authority to terminate enrollment at that time. If you do not make payments on time, you will be required to pay a late fee. For each day that your tuition payment is late, a late fee of $30 accrues.

If payment is not made within five days of the due date, you will not be able to bring your child to the center until payment and late fees are paid.

Remember to install the Brightwheel App

Brightwheel is an app we use at our center as a beautiful way for parents to stay in tune with their child’s day. Please keep in mind that you will need to download the app for login and logout purposes.

Late Pick-Up Policy

Busy Beez Kidz Clubhouse closes at 6:00pm.

If your child is not picked up by closing time or the time agreed upon between you and the director, there will be a late fee of $20.00 for the first 5 minutes and $2.00 for every minute after that.

Late pick-up fees are due when you arrive. We understand that emergencies occur. In case of an emergency, please call the center to ensure that we know and can decide at that time.

Refund/Credits

Refunds are only given when Busy Beez has been notified 30 days prior to a child leaving the center or in the event of an overpayment.

If the center is closed due to COVID or any infectious diseases a monthly obligation payment is still required, and no credit will be given.

There is no credit for scheduled school closings and holidays, children’s illness, or facility closings due to inclement weather and acts of God.

Emergency Policy in Case of Failure to Pick Up Child

If a child is not picked up by 6:10 p.m., staff shall use all contact information in attempting to arrange for the earliest possible pick up of any child remaining in the center.  Staff shall contact the director if parents are unreachable and when an alternate pick up might need to be arranged.

If we have not had phone contact with a parent by 6:35 p.m., we will begin calling emergency contacts. If we release a child to one of the emergency contacts and staff then leave for the evening, the information will be left on the parent’s voicemail if possible, and a message will be posted on the Center’s front door.

If a child has not been picked up by one hour after Center closing time or notification of emergency evacuation, and all attempts to reach parent/guardians have been unsuccessful, staff shall call the police or sheriff (depending on the jurisdiction of where the child lives) and request that they assist in locating a responsible adult to pick up the child.

If the police report that they are unable to locate a responsible adult, then staff shall immediately call Department of Children and Families Protective Services are request that they arrange to have someone from Protective Services pick up the child from the center as soon as possible. Staff will carefully and fully document all efforts, including names and times, throughout this process and provide documentation to the Director the following workday.

Exciting new ways to make school payments

We have introduced additional methods of payment within schools to make life easier for parents/carers, reduce the need for pupils to carry cash and reduce the volumes of cash being handled in the school.

You are able to pay securely online 24/7 using debit/credit card for all school meals and all other school expenses such as trip and uniform items. As part of this initiative, we have expanded the use of cashless catering systems to all schools.

Online school payments

The online payment facility has been rolled out on a school-by-school basis. The facility is available in all secondary schools and the majority of primary and ASN schools.

Once you have this reference number, you can make a payment. As soon as you receive the reference number you will be able to pay for school meals, check the balance on your child’s account and see what they purchased (these facilities are available online even if the child pays for their meals via the revaluation machine in the school).

As the school require you to pay for trips and other school expenses they will make them available online.

Cashless catering

We currently operate a cashless system in all schools. The system allows pupils and staff to pay for meals without handling cash at the Point-of-Sale (POS).
