THE BASIS FOR PROGRAM FEES

The YMCA is a non-profit organization made up of members who support our mission and goals.  Those goals and the programs they generate are established by a volunteer board of managers.  The program committee reviews policies for each program.  The Board of Managers approves individual budgets and the allocation of funds (including scholarships) to pay for program costs.

Our program follows a school year plan, which means your enrollment will be for the entire 10-month period. However, our billing is scheduled for weekly payments, which will be drafted the Wednesday before the start of the following week. We have prorated our program for Thanksgiving, Winter and spring breaks, and these weeks will not have a charge associated with them. Instead we will offer a separate enrollment for families who wish to take part in our weekly camp programs.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Financial Assistance is available on a first-come, first-served basis.  Please visit our website for more information. Please allow two weeks for review of these forms and note that your child will not be able to attend the child care program until the review process is complete, online registration is submitted, and payment is made.  It is the goal of the YMCA to not turn anyone away for purposes of financial hardship; however, this is subject to the availability of funds raised through several different annual fundraising events. Please inquire about how you can be involved in helping raise these much-needed funds. Additionally, we accept and can recommend outside funding institutions if the YMCA funds are not sufficient.

PAYMENT OF FEES

Payments must be made to the YMCA by electronic funds transfer or credit card draft. We accept American Express, Mastercard, Visa, or Discover.

DECLINED ELECTRONIC PAYMENT PENALTIES

If for any reason, your credit card or bank draft is denied, there will be a $25.00 return fee charged to your account. We will notify you by phone or email of your return. Please respond as soon as possible so that we can clear up any payment discrepancies. You will be given a grace period of 5 days to settle your bill.  An additional $20.00 late charge will be applied to your tuition if payment is not cleared up after 5 days.

NOTIFICATION OF OVERDUE PAYMENTS

If your payment, regardless of the method or reason, has not been received by our office by the start of the week, your payment will be deemed late and a $20.00 late fee will be assessed. At that point, we will email you an invoice evidencing the balance owed or a call will be made to alert you of the payment due. If payment is not received by the middle of the past due week, your child will not be allowed to attend the program until the payment has been made.               

FEE SCHEDULE

Program fees are determined by the days and times that you will need to utilize our programs.

Both full-time and part-time plans are available:

Full-time care: 4 – 5 days per week

Part-time care: 2 – 3 days per week

Currently only afternoon programs are available and are subject to closure based on enrollment. For more information about before-school care, please contact our childcare office.
