Tuition & Fees Policy

Program salaries, supplies, and administrative expenses are supported entirely by parent fees. The fees are subject to change with 30 days notice and currently are as follows:

  • There is a one-time Fee of $100.00 – This fee will be added to your child’s first month’s bill, depending on your child’s enrollment date. This fee helps cover insurance costs.
  • There is a $100.00 deposit to reserve a spot more than 2 months in advance of your child starting.
    Should you not inform us of your child not attending Sweet Peas Learning Center within 30 days prior to his/her start date, you will forgo the deposit.

Please see our parent packet for current rates.


We charge the same monthly tuition regardless of closures due to holidays. Please see the yearly calendar upon enrollment to know which days the center is closed.

Tuition payments are due on the 1st of the month prior to care. A late fee of $25.00 will be charged if payments are not paid by the 5th of the month. If payments are still not made by the 8th, a $5.00 charge will occur each day until payment is received. Children may not return to school with an outstanding balance of 30 days or more until payment has been received.

All fees are to be paid in advance of services, unless they are being paid by an outside agency and has been arranged by the Director and Parent/Guardian. Each month, families will receive a monthly invoice. Families will be given 30 notice of prior to rate change. We have a no refund policy.
