Q: Does my tuition have to be on autodraft?

A: Yes, in order to secure your spot in the program, all tuition must be paid via weekly, biweekly or monthly autodraft. Payments are due each Friday for the following week’s services. There is a $10 late fee applied to payments not received on Fridays by the close of business. An account balance more than two weeks past due will result your removal from the program, and release of your slot to the next person on the waiting list. Once the slot has been released, you will have to pay a $40 re-enrollment fee and be added to the bottom of the waiting list. Balances for all programs–not just YBASE–must be paid in full prior to re-enrollment. For more information on payment processing, please review the parent handbook.

A: Payments are due on Fridays to hold your child’s spot in the program for the following week. Nonpayment will result in the release of your child’s slot to the next person on the wait list. See the parent handbook for more information on payment and absences.
