Fees for the Child Watch Program drop in care services will be assessed by LSC-North Harris at $4.00 per hour for each participating child. Parents must commit to participation for the semester and have the option of paying in full prior to the beginning of the semester or on a monthly basis. If parents choose to pay on a monthly basis, payment for the first month will reserve the child's space. Thereafter, payment is due on the 25th of each month in advance for care rendered the following month. Failure to pay by the 25th may result in the discontinuation of child care for the remainder of the semester. A late fee of $25 will be incurred for payments received after the 25th.
The child care costs will not be prorated for partial hours. Students are responsible for paying for all child care fees and are not prorated for any absences (i.e. illness, other child care arrangements). Financial aid is available to qualified students in the Child Watch program.
All payments can be made by check in the drop box at the Child Development Center, or at the Business Office located in the Academic building of Lone Star College-North Harris.
All children need to be picked up in a timely manner according to the program they are enrolled in. Parents not complying will be dealt with in the following manner:
1st Offense: Warning
2nd Offense: Parents will be charged a $1.00 a minute late fee per child for every minute beyond the students registered times. As a result of repeated late pickups and/or failure to pay for child care services rendered, the student will be referred to the Vice President of Administrative Services or Director of Business and Auxiliary Services. In addition, students will lose Child Care Center privileges.
Please note for Child Watch Parents: It is the student's responsibility to notify the YMCA Pre-school Director and the Child Watch staff immediately when a course has been added/dropped, total withdrawal, or any other changes have occurred. Fees will not be reimbursed. Failure to notify the YMCA Child Development Center at Lone Star College-North Harris of a change in enrollment status, while continuing to use the facility, is a violation of the Student Conduct Code.
