Frequently Asked Questions

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
(Proverbs 22:6)

Do I pay tuition if my child does not attend Daycare?

Yes, as this holds your child’s spot. The hiring of teachers is based upon the number of expected children per day, which is an incurred cost whether your child is there or not. Little Flower does not provide “credit” for unattended days either. Each family is granted a discount for one week per year for vacation. See next FAQ.
Is there a break in tuition if we are on vacation?

Each family is allowed a 50% discount for one-week vacation per year, with at least a three-week notice.
Which methods of payments are accepted?

Tuition must be paid using FACTS Tuition Management

The FACTS program is an interest-free automatic bank payment plan through which your financial institution makes weekly or monthly payments on your behalf directly to FACTS from your checking or savings account.
