• Please make all checks payable to Harborlight Nursery School, Inc.

• Place your child’s name and tuition month on all checks in the subject line to assure proper credit.

Extended Care Rate & Payment Policies 

Daily 7:30-9:00am and 12:00-4:30pm ~ $15.00 per hour for Drop-in or $13.50 per hour for Pre-Pay plan.

The Extended Care Program is offered as an additional service to assist parents with childcare. This program may be used on days your child is at school in the Nursery Program and is offered on a space-available basis. Though our extended care program is very flexible, please let us know approximately when you will be picking up your child each day. This will ensure adequate staffing. If a child is not picked up by the close of the school at 4:30 pm, the fee for any additional time will be a minimum of $15.00, the charge for a full hour. If your child is not picked up by 4:30 pm, we will attempt to contact you or other authorized caregivers. If we have not heard from you and can make no other contacts and your child is not picked up within a half hour of closing time, it will be necessary for us to contact authorities.

The basic program limit is a group of 20, therefore, if not a regular user, a call must be made to ascertain if space is available. We are able to accommodate more children by setting up a second grouping if given advance notice.

All users of Extended Care are billed monthly. When billed, payment is due upon receipt. If payments become two weeks in arrears, regrettably, your child will be ineligible to continue until a payment is made. Other payment schedules can be set up through mutual agreement between the parent and the Director.

Checks are to be made payable to Harborlight Nursery School, Inc. Please place your child’s name on all checks to assure proper credit. Payments may also be made electronically through your bank account (plus bank fees), mailed or brought to the classroom or the Director’s office.

All returned checks will carry a $15.00 fee added to the amount due.
