Enrollment Information
Prairie Pines Childcare Center welcomes children ages 6 weeks to 12 years, depending on current program availability. We offer both full-time care (4–5 days per week) and drop-in care (as available).

A non-refundable $100 enrollment fee is required to secure a spot. Before your child’s first day (fultime or drop-in care), we’ll schedule a welcome meeting to get to know your family, share the daily routine, and complete any final paperwork.


Tuition & Payment Policy

  • Tuition is due weekly on Mondays by 6 p.m.

  • A $20 late fee will be added if payment is more than 3 days late.

  • If tuition is still unpaid after 6 days, care will be paused until the balance is paid in full.

  • Weekly tuition is charged for all scheduled days, even if your child is absent.

  • If you need to request a drop-in, contact the director to check availability.
