Billing & Payments
Fees are reviewed by the Board of Directors every May for the upcoming September. The following forms of payment are acceptable at the main center office: cash, checks, credit card, and bank checks. There is a 3% service charge for credit card payments. Online payments are an option as well. Visit myprocare.com to view and pay your bill using a credit card. You may also sign up for Automated Payment Processing (EFT). Electronic Funds Transfers can be authorized for your bank account or a credit card. Bank Account Transfers incur a fee of $1 per pay period. EFTs are withdrawn from your designated account on the Friday that fees are due. Invoices are billed biweekly for the upcoming two weeks. Payments can be made in person, mailed to the main center, left in the dropbox outside of the office, or handed in to the Wrap-Around teachers at Jackson & Tibbets.

Voucher system
Vouchers will be given for the equivalent of 2 normally contracted weeks per year prorated based on the number of months in that year you actually maintained those contracted hours. Vouchers will be given after you have been with the center for 3 months if your bill is current, and may only be used if your bill is current when you wish to use them. If a Voucher is requested to be used on or before “Schedule Friday” by 10:30 a.m., you will receive credit for the day(s) and lunch(es). When Vouchers are used for unanticipated absences, the Voucher must be requested by or before 10:30 a.m. on the first “Schedule Friday” following the date of the absence to receive credit for the day(s). Lunch will not be credited in this case. No Vouchers will be allowed outside these two time frames. Vouchers may not be used toward fees for a two-week notice of termination. Vouchers do not apply to 4K Private Pay or Pre-School only children. School-Agers are entitled to one week’s credit during the school year and one week’s credit during the summer (No Vouchers are given for school-agers who do not contract for the full summer session). (One week is determined by your contracted days, i.e.: if you are scheduled Mon, Wed and Fri, you are entitled to three days off, etc.) Vouchers/credits are applied upon request.
