Other Fees
Application Fee
A nonrefundable application fee of $50 is paid when the completed application form is given to CHDCC.

Deposit Fee
$1,000.00 is due when a future opening that you want to hold becomes available for your child. It is non-refundable but will be applied toward the last month’s tuition of your child’s enrolled. Subsequently, if due to circumstances beyond the family’s control, your child is not enrolled in Chapel Hill Day Care Center – exceptions to the above policy may be made only at the discretion of the Directors, in consultation with the Policy Committee of the CHDCC Board of Directors. This policy ensures that the Center will be able to meet its budgetary obligations. Deposit fees are not assessed to families who are receiving scholarship assistance.

Program Fee
Families who wish to re-enroll their child for the following school year must complete a re-enrollment form and pay a non-refundable program fee of $200 by June 1st of each year. A program fee of $200 is due on September 1st for each new child enrolling in the program between August and February. Children enrolling after February are assessed a $100 program free. The fee is used to maintain the quality of the classroom. Program fees are not assessed to families who are receiving scholarship assistance.

Late Departure Fees
Because the Center closes at 5:45 p.m., late departure fees are imposed per child when children are picked up after 5:45 p.m. The following fees will be due, directly to the teacher:

Parent arrival time 5:46 – 5:55	Fee $10.00
5:56 – 6:05	$20.00
After 6:05	$20.00 plus an additional $10 for each 10-minute period or portion thereof after 6:05. For example, the fine for a 6:20 pickup would be $40.00.
Although it is comforting to know that you are on the way, the late charge will be due, even if parent(s)/guardian(s) call with an excuse. Because chronic lateness imposes a hardship on the staff, the Center has set a limit on the amount of late fees a family can accumulate during their children’s tenure at the Center. When a family has accumulated $60.00 in late fees, day care services for the family may be terminated. If a child is still at the Center at 6:05, the Director will be notified and the emergency contact people (as designated by the parent(s)/guardian(s)) will be called to pick up the child. The Director will be notified of when the child was picked up and by whom.
