Rates are calculated hourly:
Children under two: $4.50/hour
Children two and over: $4.00/hour
Students choose their desired hours (minimum three consecutive) and desired days before the semester begins. We then calculate the total cost based on the number of hours over the course of each month. Student-parents will be billed monthly and payment is due on the 1st of each month.
A late fee of $5 per day will be applied for any payment made after the 5th of the month. Full payment for the semester may be made in advance. Payment is accepted in the form of checks, cash, debit card, and credit card.
Children must be picked up and dropped off promptly by their designated times. Late fees of $1 per child per minute will be incurred beyond their scheduled pick-up and drop-off.
Yes! Through the 91ɬÂþ Childcare, there are two different sources of funding to help pay for child care: CCAMPIS and the Tiny T-Bird Scholarship. CCAMPIS grant money can be used for any approved child care center. If you are not using 91ɬÂþ Child Care, you can still apply for and utilize CCAMPIS funds for your chosen child care center.
For more information on CCAMPIS, please read the Child Care Subsidy Information. The Tiny T-Bird Scholarship is applicable only to CCAMPIS recipients.
Our staff includes full-time Lead Teachers, student workers and non-student workers. All caregivers are required to pass a Child Care Licensing Background Check and fingerprinting, in addition to having CPR and First Aid Training for Infants and Children. Lead Teachers are hired full-time and therefore are not rotated in order to ensure consistency for the children in their care. We meet or exceed adult-to-child ratios as required by the Utah Department of Health for Licensed Child Care Centers. These ratios are:
Age of Children | # of Caregivers | # of Children | Group size (w/ 2 caregivers |
Birth-23 months | 1 | 4 | 8 |
2 years old | 1 | 7 | 14 |
3 years old | 1 | 12 | 24 |
4 years old | 1 | 15 | 30 |
School-age | 1 | 20 | 40 |
