    For enrollment registration, it is recommended that parents pay using the online Procare platform or pay their fees with a money order. This will allow payments to be considered paid in full and expedited confirmation of space in our program can be granted.

    Payments made with checks may take 7 to 13 business days to process and accounts are not considered paid until checks are fully processed. Space in our program is not confirmed until we have received both the online registration application and payment for registration, which includes the first month’s tuition.
