Families enrolling more than one child full-time (for weekly packages) pay full tuition for the youngest child and receive a 10% discount for all additional children (excluding hourly care). We also accept families who receive childcare subsidies from various assistance programs. Tuition increases are implemented annually.

Weekly childcare payments are due on the first day of attendance each week. A late fee of $20 is applied to any weekly charges that are not paid on time. The registration fee and a 2 week tuition payment for all new clients is due upon approval of their childcare application. In addition, an annual Fort Snelling Federal Employee’s Child Care Association fee is due each October. The registration fee, the initial 2 week tuition payment, and the Association dues are non-refundable.
