For separated/divorced households

We understand how delicate money conversations can be no matter the circumstances. The Early Childhood office is not responsible for assuming who will be responsible for tuition payments. Please provide the office with a valid email address of the person who will be responsible for tuition payments so that the monthly tuition statements can be sent.
