There is a $150 registration fee for the first child and $100 registration fee per each additional child that is non-refundable to be paid upon registration. Registration fee guarantees care within Lullaboo on the date agreed to and confirmed by the Supervisor. Every effort will be made to accommodate requested start date. Changes to the first day of care needs to be acknowledged in writing by parent and supervisor; any changes may result in loss of preferred start date. All forms, including registration package, void cheque and immunization forms must be completed at least 30 days prior to your child's start date. Failure to do so may result in loss of the start date you’ve requested.
Each registration fee includes one key fob allowing you access to the Lullaboo centre that your child is enrolled in. If families would like an additional key, the cost is $50.00 per additional key which is non-refundable. There is a $50.00 replacement fee should you lose your key and require a replacement. These keys must also be returned if you decide to leave or withdraw from Lullaboo to avoid the replacement fee charge.
Fee payments include statutory holidays and days your child may be absent due to illness or vacation days. No deduction will be made for any of these days in order to guarantee your spot upon return. There is no break in your child care fee at any time of the year. Fees are due in advance as per our fee biweekly schedule, any payment returned NSF or stop payments will be subject to a $50.00 charge. Failure to provide payment prior to start date does not guarantee your spot. No other forms of payment will be accepted. Centre specific fee charts and payment schedules are available in every centre or can be emailed to you upon request at any time as they do vary in every region.
Lullaboo requires a void cheque for auto-withdrawal; payments are on bi-weekly schedule. Lullaboo will debit the account provided with each biweekly payment and to treat each payment as parent had personally issued a cheque. This constitutes delivery of authorization by parent to his/her financial institution. The terms and conditions are listed below:
“Terms and Conditions”
- Parents are to notify Lullaboo of any changes to account information provided.
- Lullaboo will withdraw pre-authorized payment bi-weekly to cover payment due on account.
- Lullaboo Nursery and Childcare Center relies on the representation constituted by the authorization provided that the customer’s financial institution account is, and shall be, during the currency of this authorization, in good standing with sufficient funds to cover such pre-authorized withdrawals as they become due and payable.
- This authorization may be terminated at any time by parent or Lullaboo upon written notice (30 DAYS in advance). Upon termination, any balance due thereafter shall be payable directly to Lullaboo Nursery and Childcare Center. Parents are to notify Lullaboo of any changes to account information.
- Lullaboo is not required to provide pre-notification to parents, of any changes to the bi-weekly payment.
In the case of a missed payment, the following payment and NSF fee ($50.00) will be applied to the next billing cycle, amounting in a double payment plus all applicable NSF fees. If an NSF fee is incurred in the following billing cycle, all outstanding fees (regular bi-weekly payments plus NSF fees) must be paid via certified cheque within 3 business days of billing date. If a certified cheque is not submitted immediate termination will follow and a letter informing parents of the last day of care will be sent. If payments are continuously missed it is at the discretion of Lullaboo to determine whether or not to terminate service.
If you choose to change the program of your child, i.e. moving from full-time to part-time enrolment, no guarantee is made that the previous program will be available to you in the future. For example, a student that is reduced to 2 days per week for summer months is not guaranteed a full-time spot in the month of September.
A late fee of $1.00 per minute per child will be charged to those arriving after 6:30 p.m. on the next billing period.
You will be charged bi-weekly once enrolment commences at the rate of the program in which your child begins the cycle in. Mid-week transitions to another classroom will not be prorated for fee credits.
In case of an outstanding balance with Lullaboo, your tax receipt may be withheld until the account is paid to date.
At any time if a tax recipient is to be reissued a $45 administration fee will be charged for a second copy.
