Tuition
Tuition is paid on a standard monthly payment plan. Payments are required by the 15th of each month. The first payment is due on August 15 and the last payment is due April 15. The amount invoiced is expected to be paid in full on or before the final due date listed. No student will be allowed to begin class at DCP without receipt of the first payment in full. If there is an outstanding student account balance more than 30 days overdue, a payment plan must be established between the member and DCP Treasurer. Failure to adhere to the agreed upon payment plan may result in a child’s removal from the program.

Registration Fee
DCP’s registration fee is $100.00 per family. This annual fee is non-refundable and must be paid upon registration. The fee covers every child in the member family regardless of the number of children or classes enrolled. In the event classes are full and no children are enrolled, the fee will be refunded if the children are not on the waitlist.
Cleaning Fee
DCP’s annual cleaning fee is $30 per child. This fee is non-refundable and must be paid with your first tuition payment by August 15th. This fee covers cleaning supplies and provides a weekly $30 tuition reimbursement to a member of the DCP cleaning committee.
Scholarship Program
DCP will offer a scholarship to families when scholarship funds are available. Any family enrolling for at least one session is eligible to apply for a tuition scholarship. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need and fit with the DCP ethos.
In the case of unexpected financial hardships during the school year, existing DCP families can apply for scholarship funds on an as-needed, case-by-case basis. Scholarship funds not awarded for the school year will be available for this type of assistance.
Tuition scholarship applicants will submit an application describing their family’s need for a scholarship, why they are interested in attending DCP, and how they will contribute to the DCP community. Applicants may be asked to meet with the committee to discuss extenuating circumstances. All information concerning applications will be kept confidential.
The Scholarship Committee, a group of three current DCP members (Treasurer, Volunteer Coordinator, and one or more at-large members) will review applications and present their selection to the Board. Scholarship funds will be awarded prior to the start of the school year. The deadline to request a scholarship will be May 1st.
Scholarship awards do not include fees. Registration and cleaning fees will still apply.
