Tuition & Fees

The Child Development Center charges a consistent monthly tuition* rate for all children regardless of whether their parents are classified as students, faculty, staff or community residents.  The monthly tuition rate is base upon the yearly budgetary needs of the Center divided into twelve equal payments.  Therefore, the Center does not prorate tuition due to Center planned and unplanned closures such as, holidays, breaks, professional development and safety training days, illness outbreak, or University closures. The Center does not give child care subsidies or siblings discounts.  Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack are included in the tuition.

Payments are accepted via check, money order or cashier's check at the front office. 

Online payments can be made here.
