Scheduling options
CDC offers a number of scheduling options, including: full time, whole days, mornings, mornings with lunch, and afternoons ("PM enrichment"). Whole and half days may be combined in a week, space permitting. Attendence schedules may be subject to certain minimum enrollment requirements; consult CDC staff for details. A grid detailing our scheduling options and the associated fees can be found below.
Sliding fee scale
As part of its committment to enhancing the diversity of the CDC community and to making quality care available to families who could not otherwise afford it, CDC uses a sliding fee scale where tuition depends on family income. Sadly, the number of spots available at the most reduced tuition rates is limited, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Details, including documentation requirements, are explained below.
Scholarships
CDC is able to offer some limited scholarships. Applications and more information are available here.
Financial policies
CDC's financial policy page explains our policies in more detail, including billing, withdrawls, schedule changes, and other matters.
TUITION FEES FOR 2007-08
TUITION SCHEDULE: Tuition is based the family's gross annual income. Documentation is required for all categories except Category D ($50,000+). Documentation required is a copy of your Federal Income Tax 1040 form, supporting W2 forms and an employer verification form. If married but filing separately, both returns are required.
If you prefer not to disclose your income, the highest rate (Category D) will apply.
Fees for Categories A and B are limited and are made available on a first come, first served basis.
Families who receive outside financial support for day care services from sources such as Michigan Family Independence Agency and/or Child Care Network are expected to pay the difference between CDC's tuition fee and the reimbursement from the supporting agency.
