The full-time fees include lunch, a morning
and afternoon snack. State
licensing requires that all children in attendance during the lunch hour are
served lunch, provided by a caterer or center-based kitchen approved by the
State Board of Health. Sodexho, located on USI campus is the vendor for
the Children's Center, providing lunches. By law, parents may not send homemade
food or opened containers of prepared food for children to eat at the center.
All parents are required to sign a contract of
scheduled hours of child's attendance, but may coordinate contract changes
with the center coordinator at any time.
Other Information:
Parents are responsible for contracted child care
fees, regardless of child's attendance. The weekly fee is prorated if
the days the University is closed affect the child's attendance.
The contracted child care fee will not be
enforced for students and faculty when classes are not in session, unless
these clients choose to enroll their child/children during the class recesses.
In the event that a child is not picked up by
closing, a late fee of .20 per minute per child will be charged for the first 10
minutes, and $1.00 per minute per child for each additional minute thereafter.
Parents of children who are not not picked up at or before 5:00 p.m. will be
assessed a late fee.
The center is closed the following days/dates:
Good Friday, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and the
following Friday; and Winter Recess, to be announced (Winter Recess occurs
during the Christmas/New Year holiday season). The center does not
provide child care services on the Thursday and Friday in August before the start of
fall
semester classes, in order to facilitate staff training and new student worker orientation.
