Guidelines for Enrollment

West Hills Learning Center is a year-round program.  Each student is enrolled for specific days and times to allow our Center to plan staffing that meets the standards of the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC). We strive to maintain a consistent population of children to allow a high level of curriculum and strong staff/child/parent connections. This goal is best reached when children attend class on a Full-Time schedule.

Billing and Payment

Tuition is billed by our office on the first day of each month and is due by the 10th of the month (3% interest is charged on overdue accounts, past the 15th of the month. $20 minimum charge). Full tuition is paid regardless of holidays, closures, vacation, maternity/paternity leave, inclement weather, illnesses, programming changes, etc.

Family Discount

Families with two or more children enrolled in our Full Time program receive a 5% discount on the lower tuition.

Military Discount

Families with a parent currently serving overseas will receive a 5% discount on the lower tuition.

Disenrollment

Thirty days written notice is required for all students disenrolling. Tuition is charged for 30 days from the date written disenrollment notification is received.

Employer Related Day Care

Employer Related Day Care (ERDC) is a State program that helps eligible low-income parents pay for child care so they can work. If the parent is eligible for assistance, DHS will pay a portion of their child care bill directly to the family’s chosen provider through the Direct Pay Unit (DPU) in Salem. www.oregon.gov/DHS/Assistance/Child-Care/Pages/Parents.aspx

The Community Childcare Initiative (CCI).

CCI is funded by the Portland Children’s Levy and is an opportunity for qualifying child care facilities to receive financial resources for low-income families and create a stable income base by promoting continuity of care for families at 200% of poverty or below. For an application and general information, go to www.CCRR-MC.org. Click on “Families” then “Paying for Child Care.” Families need to apply for ERDC assistance first. If a family has applied for ERDC and have been denied for being over income, but they fall into the 186-200% bracket of income then they pay 15% of their income for child care and the grant pays the difference.
