Tuition Information
Bethany Busy Bee is a not for profit, self-supporting preschool. We rely on timely tuition payments to pay our teachers and staff, as well as, to carry out special events, and operate smoothly and efficiently.
The total annual tuition has been equally divided into nine months. Therefore, each month will be the same amount and is not dependent on the number of weeks in the month, or the numbers of days attended.
Tuition Payment is due upon receipt of monthly invoice. Checks should be made payable to Bethany Busy Bee.
Tuition is eligible for the Child Care Tax Credit. Please refer to attached PDF IRS Form 2441 (click on blue letters to access the form) i2441

Last Month’s Tuition Payment
Last month’s tuition payment is required to be pre-paid upfront, one month prior to the first day of school or at registration. No tuition payment will be required in May as it is pre-paid by August 1st, before the beginning of school in September. Tuition is divided into 9 equal payments paid from August 1st through April 1st.
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 will be responsible for bringing a healthy snack for their child’s class monthly.
For snack sign up, please see Teacher Page select your child’s teacher for class information, including the snack sign up link. The weekly email will also have a snack sign up link available.
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.
Your monetary donations also count towards volunteer hours.
Please see this link for a list of volunteer opportunities or contact your teacher for classroom volunteer projects.
Withdrawal
If a child needs to be withdrawn from Bethany Busy Bee for any reason, please give 30 days written notice by completing the Student Withdrawal Notice and Family Exits Survey for the office before leaving the school. This will authorize us to apply your may prepaid payment to your child’s last month tuition, if your withdrawal is before March 1st.
After March 1st, no refund of the May payment will be given, 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.
