In order for Capital City Early Learning Center to maintain our operating budget, our child care payment policy is as follows. Child care fees are due WEEKLY, every Friday by 6:00pm,for the following week, even if the child is absent that day, Child care fees are also due during weeks containing holidays for which the center is closed. We do not provide prorated fees. A $25 late payment fee will be charged for all families who have not made a payment by 6:00pm on Friday. On days that we are closed, payments must be made on the following business day at drop off. For families whose accounts are still late the following Friday, childcare services will no longer be provided.

Capital City Early Learning Center accepts payment for tuition and fees online only through at my procare.com. Capital City Early Learning Center also accepts payments from Lansing Community College.

All children must arrive by 9:30am every day. Parents must call the center by 8:00 am to let us know if your child will not be attending daycare that day. This ensures that we are properly staffed and are prepared for the day’s meals and activities. No child will be allowed to attend after 9:30am unless prior arrangements have been made and approved by the director. If a parent or guardian has not made contact with the center regarding a child’s absence one hour after their scheduled time, the Director or Assistant Director will contact them to inquire about the absence for that day.
