If a child is picked up late, a $10.00 fee will be assessed per child for every 15 minutes after pick up time. Please notify program staff if your child will not be picked up on time. However, notification does not dismiss the fee. The late fee schedule is:

5-15 Minutes:​ $10.00
16-30 Minutes:​ $20.00
31-45 Minutes:​ $30.00
And so on ($10 for every 15 minutes late)

The fee can be paid online, using the ELS Portal. Late time will be determined by the clock at the site. If there are 3 or more late pick-ups per month, Expanded Learning Services may dismiss your child from the program. If a child has not been picked up within an hour and the parent has not contacted the site and the persons on the emergency form cannot be reached, the Orange County Sheriff may be called.

Disputed Charges or Non-sufficient Funds (NSF) Policy: All disputed charges or payments returned due to non-sufficient funds will be assessed a $25 fee, per occurrence. Cash or card payments will only be accepted to settle a disputed charge or NSF.

Your account will only be allotted 2 disputed charges and/or NSF per school year, including summer. After the second occurrence, Expanded Learning Services will only accept cash or card for all of your payments.

Each monthly payment is due in full by the 1st of the month.

On the 2nd of each month, all unpaid accounts will incur a $50 late payment fee. If payment, including the late fee, is not received by the 3rd, the student will be removed from the roster and services will be suspended without reinstatement for the month.

The delinquent account will remain suspended for 10 days in order for you to clear any remaining balance and/or make a payment for the following month. After the 10-day suspension, with no payment, all enrollments will then be canceled. You may be subject to a waitlist and/or be required to re-enroll into the program.

Your account will only be permitted 3 late payments per school year. After the third occurrence, services will be terminated for the remainder of the current school year. Reinstatement into the program, summer or next school year, will require that all delinquent balances are paid.

Expanded Learning Services is not responsible for delayed mailed payments. Please ensure payments are sent to our current address in a timely manner to be received by the 1st.

The enrolling person assumes all responsibility for payments and retaining payment records.
