National Hot Dog Month!

How do you celebrate National Hot Dog Month you ask? With a weeny roast of course!

This Friday, July 18th, from 5pm - 7pm, we will be cooking hot dogs, serving popcorn, painting faces, and playing carnival games at Appletree Kids and this is your official invite!

Parents, friends, and family of Appletree Kids and Kids Too & Adventure Camp are all invited - in fact, if one of our currently enrolled families brings a new, potential family with them, we will give both families a $20 tuition coupon! So, invite away!

We can't wait to spend time with you Friday 5pm - 7pm!!

Did you remember?.... that beginning yesterday all payments are due on Monday. Cash, check, debit, credit card, automatic withdrawal... regardless of payment type, tuition is due paid in full by close of day each Monday. Just a reminder for those of you looking at your statements and seeing a withdrawal coming out last Friday and then another withdrawal coming out yesterday. In case you don't remember, below is the update that has been in your emails and statements for the past several weeks:

I wanted to take a moment to remind each of you that tuition is due every Monday for the current week - regardless of HOW you pay for tuition. Currently, if you are paying cash or check, it has to be received on Monday by the close of the day, or a $10/day late fee is assessed. If you are paying by Rapid Tuition (automatic withdrawal), it is withdrawn from your account on Thursday or Friday.

Lately there seems to be confusion on some of our Rapid Tuition accounts where there is the assumption that the tuition is not due until Friday, thus causing several Rapid Tuition accounts to be returned due to insufficient funds.

To avoid insufficient fund fees on your end, and on our end, and to hopefully avoid further confusion - we will be collecting ALL tuition on Monday when it is due regardless of how it is being paid.

This will begin on Monday, July 14th.

This is not a change in policy, since tuition has always been due on Monday, but rather streamlining our accounting efforts and having all accounts, regardless of payment type, pay tuition on the same day. I apologize in advance if this causes any inconvenience since the hope is that this will avoid any inconveniences in the future and ensure everyone has a clear understanding of our accounting policies.

ALL returned payment fees - whether check or credit card - are subject to a $20 NSF fee.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and your patience as we try to get everyone on the same schedule.
