Registration Fee
Each child is required to pay a one time, non-refundable fee of $200 for one child or $300 per family. The fee is submitted with the Registration Form at the time of registration for each child. This fee holds the space in the class for the student and does not apply toward tuition. There is no Activity Fee or Back to School Supplies required as it is included with the Registration Fee.
See “Pay or Enroll ” tab for Registration Form and more details.
Snack Opt Out Fee – $150 per school year and the school will provide their snack for them. Or pay $16 per each month missed. Parents/guardians are asked to provide a healthy snack, a fresh fruit/vegetable and a pre-packaged bar/cracker/popcorn/muffins to the entire classroom. For snack sign up, please see Newsletters tab where it has a tab per teacher class information, including the snack sign up link. The weekly email will also have a snack sign up link available through the Newsletters tab.
Allotted snack sign up depending on the number of days enrolled:
- 3 or more days per week classes, parents/guardians should sign up to bring a snack once per month
- 2 days per week parents/guardians should sign up twice per month
- 1 day per week class parents/guardians should sign up 3-4 times per month
Volunteer Opt Out Fee – $150 per school year to pay for extra helpers for school events. Or please pay $16 per each hour less than 9 total hours unable to volunteer. Parents/guardians are asked to volunteer an hour per month if divided into equal amounts, or as many hours that lead for a total of 9 hours for the school year. This helps keep tuition fees low by having families help prepare/set up for special events. This also serves as community service and to create a stronger community by working together within Busy Bee. Please see this link for a list of volunteer opportunities or contact your teacher for classroom volunteer projects.

Last Month’s Tuition Payment
Last month’s tuition payment is required to be pre-paid upfront by August 1st. No tuition payment will be required in May as it is pre-paid by August 1st, before the beginning of school. Tuition is divided into 9 equal payments paid from August 1st through April 1st.
Withdrawal
If you must withdraw from Bethany Busy Bee before March 1, and you give us 30 days written notice, we will apply your pre-paid May payment to the tuition for the last month attended. However, no refund will be given without the required 30 days written notice before withdrawing your child. No refund of the May tuition will be available after March 1st since it is unlikely that we can fill any spots that late in the year. Please notify us as soon as possible if you plan to withdraw your child, as there may be another child on the waiting list.
- Please use this Withdrawal Notice Form to submit your 30 day written notice.
