Hilltop has a sliding fee schedule for all application and tuition fees.
Families are designated as A, B, C, or D level based on the families gross
monthly income. Families at the "A" or "B" level may be eligible for some
tuition subsidies. Once families are accepted they will complete the A B C
Level Fee Application which will allow them to receive reduced fees.
Tuition Subsidies
Families at the A or B level may be eligible for a tuition subsidy.
These subsidies are provided by Social and Rehabilitation Services,
CCAMPIS
grants (Child Care Access Means Parents in School), Hilltop grants,
and the Douglas County Child Development Association.
The application form for A, B or C fees is also used to apply for tuition subsidy. Families receiving subsidies must submit a new application form each semester. There is no guarantee that subsidies will be continued the following year. If one child in a family receives a subsidy, it is not guaranteed that a sibling will also receive one. See complete information on the scholarship information sheet available in the office. Due to the demand for tuition subsidies, late applications will be considered only after all timely applications have been processed.
Fee Payments
A fee schedule showing amount due and due date is provided to each family. Fees are payable in advance. Generally fees for the first half of the month are due on the 1st, and are considered late after the 5th of the month. Fees for the second half of the month are due on the 16th, and are considered late after the 20th of the month.
Families whose child care is partially funded by
SRS must pay the family share. If the
SRS plan is written for less than the number of hours the child is enrolled, the parent is responsible for payment of the hours not covered in the
SRS plan. Parents must notify Hilltop of any changes in their
SRS plans.
Families are responsible for payment when children are absent from the center.
