There is a $10.00 charge for lost key cards. Extra key cards require a $10 deposit each that will be refunded when the key card is returned. We ask that you purchase additional keycards for any person will be regularly picking up or dropping off to childcare.
Fees are to be placed in the payment box, which is located inside the childcare entrance. Please ensure all payments are clearly marked with the name of the child for whom the fee is being paid.
