Question 7

What happens if I am late for pick-up?

Accepted Answer

You may sign your child out any time before 6:00 P.M.

You are required to pay an additional $10.00 for the first 15 minutes, or portion thereof, after the 6:00 P.M. closing time and $1.00 per minute thereafter. If a parent is not able to pay the late pick-up fee at the time of pick-up, the fee will be due with the following month’s tuition.

After 7:00 p.m., if there has been no contact between Fruit of the Vine Child Development Center and you or your authorized representative, your child will be in the custody of the local Police Department, as this Constitutes abandonment.

Any family who picks up their child late four (4) times in a fiscal year, (July 1 - June 30), will have their services terminated. If you are consistently late in picking up your child, this is considered to be child neglect and will be reported to the Dept. of Children and Family Services.

If you are going to be late, both your child and the staff will appreciate a courtesy phone call.
