Tuition Payments

Tuition is due on the 1st of each month. Late payments are subject to a late fee equal to $10 + $5 for each day after the 1st. Tuition includes the food program and covers the entire month of care. A monthly electronic invoice is made through Brightwheel. A family may request to pay by check. Checks should be hand-delivered to the office and be made payable to: INTERLAKE CHILD CARE CENTER

Sibling Policy

For families with two children enrolled at Interlake, ICC offers a $100 monthly younger sibling discount.

Late Pick Ups

All children must be signed out by the time the center closes at 6 p.m. ICC reserves the right to apply a late fee equal to $5 plus an additional $1 for every minute after the time of closing. Brightwheel attendance log monitors the sign-in and sign-out times. Fees will be applied through Brightwheel.

Refunds & Prorated Tuition

ICC is a not-for-profit, and all tuition is used for program operations. Therefore, tuition is not prorated, and refunds are not offered under any circumstances, including but not limited to: illnesses, absences, vacations, holidays, planned closures, or unplanned/emergency closures. The first and last months of tuition are not eligible to be prorated based on start or end date.

Waitlist Fee

To join the waitlist, there is a non-refundable waitlist fee of $100 per child. This fee can be adjusted for families who qualify for a WA state subsidy program, such as CCAP or Working Connections.

Registration Fees

Upon accepting enrollment, there is a non-refundable registration fee of $500 ($600 for any family not already on the waitlist). Separately, 50% of the monthly tuition will be collected to be applied to the first month of care. ICC reserves the right to withhold these funds for any family who does not complete registration after accepting enrollment.

Leaving the Program

ICC asks families to provide a minimum 60-day official notice of intent to withdraw. This can be a written letter or an email to the ICC administration team.

Subsidy

WA State and the City of Seattle help subsidize child care for working families with children up to 13 years of age. Interlake participates with these state programs to provide high-quality and affordable child care. You can visit the CCAP or DCYF websites to review eligibility information.
