Families planning to withdraw a child should be required to give several weeks’ (often 2 weeks) notice. The family should be billed for 2 or 3 weeks of care if notice to withdraw is not given in advance. Programs sometimes require that 2 weeks’ tuition be paid in advance, to be credited when children age-out of the program. This deposit can be tapped to pay this withdrawal fee if advanced notice is not given.
