Tuition Discounts:
Multiple Child Discount: For families who enroll more than one child in a morning program, a 10% discount will
be applied to the youngest childs tuition. This discount does not apply to our additional enrichment options
(e.g., Before-School, Lunch Bunch, etc.).
MUMC Member Discount: A 10% tuition discount will be given to members of Memorial United Methodist
Church. This discount does not apply to our additional enrichment options (e.g., Before-School, Lunch Bunch,
etc.).
Early Payment Discount: If tuition is paid in full by April 1, 2015, a $100 discount will be applied. Payment must
be either by cash or check. Checks must be made payable to ECC at MUMC and postmarked or handed in to
the office no later than April 1, 2015. The $100 discount does not apply after April 1, 2015 and does not apply
to partial payments.
Tuition Assistance: We offer a limited number of need-based scholarships each year at the discretion of the Director.
Applications are available in the school office.
Exclusion from the Program: Except at the discretion of the Director, your child will not be permitted to attend the
program if your account is more than 30 calendar days past due. As soon as your account is returned to good standing,
your child will be welcomed back to the program.
Payment Methods: We accept payment by Cash or Check only for Quarterly Payers. All checks should be made out to
ECC at MUMC. We accept payment by Cash, Check or Credit Card (MC or Visa) for Monthly Payers. Please note,
however, that a $150 convenience fee is applicable to Monthly Payers. The $150 fee will be deducted from the $250
deposit, thus reducing Monthly Payers final tuition payment by $100.
Late Pick-Up Charge: Dismissal is at 12pm for the half-day morning program, at 1pm for Lunch Bunch, at 3pm for
Creative Kids, and at either 4pm or 5pm for the After-School Playtime. Please be prompt when picking up your child. If
there is an emergency and you will be late, please call the office to inform us and we will tell your childs teacher. If
there is a pattern of lateness (five or more minutes late on more than two occasions), a $25 late pick-up charge will be
applied to your account each time you are late starting at 12:05pm, 1:05pm, 3:05pm, and 4:05p/5:05pm. Again, we
greatly appreciate your cooperation in picking up your child(ren) on time.
Refunds:
Once we notify you that your child has been accepted in the school, there will be no refund of the non-
refundable tuition deposit or registration fee except in the case that a program is cancelled by ECC.
Should you elect to remove your child from the school for any reason, written notice must be received by the
Director before July 14, 2015 in order to receive an 80% refund of the tuition payments made.
If written notice is received by the Director after July 14, 2015, no refunds will be made unless the class has a
waiting list and the vacancy is subsequently filled by another child. In that event, the refunded amount will be
the less of (i) 80% of eligible tuition payments, as defined above, and (ii) the pro-rated amount of tuition
collected by the school in filling the vacancy. In no event will refunds be made after December 31, 2015. If the
vacancy is not filled or if your child is withdrawn after January 1, 2016, you are still financially responsible for the
remainder of the quarterly or monthly tuition payments through March 1, 2016.
On occasion a child's best interest may not be met in our environment and we may find it necessary to make a
referral for placement elsewhere. If we must make such referral you will be consulted by conferencing
beforehand and we will involve our school personnel or consultants in the process. Tuition fees will be refunded
on a prorated basis if a childs needs require placement in another setting.

Past Due Accounts: ECC reserves the right to refer all unpaid and past due accounts to a third-party collection agency or
small claims court.

2. Pay-as-you-go Drop-In option. Please be sure to read the Drop-In Policy below.
Drop-In Policies:
If you would like your child to participate on a Drop-In basis, you must have a signed Credit Card Charge
Authorization form on file regardless of whether you intend to pay by Cash or Check. The Form must be
completed and returned to the office before the first Drop-In session that your child attends. If we do not have
the Authorization form on file, your child will not be permitted to participate. Forms are available in the office.
Your credit card will be charged for a Drop-In only if you do not pay in advance by Cash or Check, or if you fail to
give us adequate notice that your child is staying as a Drop-In.
If there are fewer than four (4) children enrolled in Before-School and/or After-School Playtimes on any given day,
ECC reserves the right to refuse to accept Drop-Ins for Playtime on that day.
If you fail to give adequate notice that your child will stay as a Drop-In In for an enrichment option, and your child
is not picked up at the appropriate time, we will call you to remind you to pick up your child. If we are not able to
speak with you, or if after speaking with you we learn that you would like your child to stay, a $25 Unannounced
Drop-In Charge will be charged to your account in addition to the regular daily Drop-In fee. But its very easy to
avoid this extra chargejust tell us in advance that your child is staying! See the table below for the notice period
for each enrichment option.
