FAQ
How do I pay my fees?
Fees are collected monthly for the school year program and are due by the 10th of each month when using cash or check. ACH (automatic withdrawal from your account) are done on the 10th or 25th of each month. Bills are not prepared as costs are consistent.
Full days have an additional fee, and need to be paid in advance with the monthly fee or at the time of attendance.
Summer fees may be paid on a monthly or twice monthly basis, whichever is best for the family. ACH withdrawals during the summer are on both the 10th and the 25th of the month. Families can request a receipt for each payment, which can be used for dependent care reimbursement proof and tax receipts.
Is G.A.P. open when school is closed for holidays and breaks?
A calendar is available that lists which days G.A.P. will be open and which days G.A.P. will be closed. A 2020-2021 calendar will be forthcoming.
