Tuition and Payment Policies:

Pricing is based on the 180 days that school is open.  We offer a 10 percent discount for 3-5 day annual enrollment .  You can also enroll at a monthly rate or the drop in rate.  We do not offer refunds or credits for any reason.  

If you know that your family will take extended trips/vacations, please do not enroll in the annual discounted option.  We will not provide make-up days.  In this case, the monthly option is the better option.   We cannot provide make-up days for illness or absences.  

For the monthly option, payments are automatically deducted on the 1st of the month.  If you have to cancel a month, it must be done by the 10th of the preceding month (eg. August 10 for September cancellation) or you will be charged for the month.  

Island Kids offers mini camps for school closings for an additional fee.  Please see below for school closings that we will cover and not cover.
