Payment Policies

Hazel Creek requires a one month deposit upon enrollment. The deposit covers the last month that your child attends HCM. A 30 day notice is required when you are ending your child’s enrollment for any reason. There are no refunds given for your deposit.

If you have given a one month deposit to secure placement for your child to attend in future months, we require a 90 day notice if you no longer wish to have your child on a future roster. If we are given a 90 day notice and can replace your child’s reservation, we will refund your deposit when we receive the deposit from the incoming family. Otherwise, your deposit will not be refunded.

If for any reason you decide to withdraw your child from school and we remain open, you will forfeit your deposit and will not receive a refund for the time you are not using.

Exceptions may be made if a family member loses their job or is furloughed and the family wishes to have their child remain on the roster. If this were to happen, we will use their deposit and retain the child’s enrollment for one month. Beyond one month, if the child is unable to return and the family cannot pay for the tuition, we may need to replace the child with an incoming student due to the ongoing cost of paying for the teachers and operational expenses. (We will do our best to retain every student should this occur and make considerations on a one on one basis.)

Upon enrolling your child each year, you will need to sign up for a 12 month contract. We do not enroll children for a month to month attendance. We are unable to make up days due to vacation, snow days or sickness.

Tuition needs to be paid by the first of every month and will be charged automatically using your banking information that is given to us on the ACH form in our admissions packet.
