If we close your class, we will refund your tuition

• If we close your class for more than 2 weeks due to health reasons, we will refund 100% of your tuition for every day (after the 2 weeks) that your class is closed.
• Remember ~ Eagle Creek is a private school AND a MI-licensed childcare center and camp for children ages 2 to 12 years old, so we are allowed to make our own decisions about when our building is open and closed. We consider state recommendations and your family's safety.​
• Some families have asked: "If ECA cancels my child's preschool or young fives class for an extended period of time, and we get a tuition refund, will ECA provide work packets or teacher-made videos for a fee?" We appreciate you asking. We will let you know soon!

other tuition details

• Families have several payment options, such as paying monthly, paying once for the entire year, etc.
• All families finish paying by April 20, 2021, for the 20/21 school year.
• If your child starts after the school year has started, we will prorate the tuition.
• There is a $225 non-refundable registration fee. It is due when you sign the contract, the child's first year only.
• Eagle Creek has no hidden fees. All fees are explained in the family handbook and on your contract.

School Schedule

Adding time to your schedule

• If your child registers for morning classes, you may add afternoons on those same days, any time during the school year.
• For example, if you start the year with M W F mornings, you may add W afternoons.
• Adding afternoons one day per week costs $720 for the school year. Adding afternoons two days per week is twice that, and so on. 
• We prorate this cost based on the day your child starts coming in the afternoons.
