Payment Schedules
Full-Day Program
Monthly tuition charges are calculated based on the weekly tuition rates published for the applicable school year. The weekly rate is multiplied by the number of weeks in the school year, and then divided into 11 equal monthly payments.
You will be billed each month, September through July. Payment must be made by the due date stated on the bill.
Half-Day Program
You may choose to pay a full semester’s tuition at the beginning of the semester or you may choose to pay the tuition in eight equal monthly installments, September through April.
Financial Support
- Parents may qualify for financial support for childcare. A limited number of reduced tuition spaces are available at the CDL.
- Tuition is based on full cost of care, family size, and family income.
- You can participate in the dependent child care tax program so your child’s tuition is exempt from taxes. The Associate Director or Coordinator of CDL Programs can provide a receipt for your use or can sign the form your company requires.
