Gross Monthly Income Assessment:
The family fee is primarily determined by your gross monthly income. We require families to provide proof of income, such as recent pay stubs or tax documents, to verify their earnings accurately.
Consideration of Family Size:
The size of your family plays a crucial role in determining the fee. Larger families often have more financial commitments, so we adjust the fees accordingly to accommodate this. You will need to provide documentation or declare the number of dependents in your household to help us assess the appropriate fee.
Sliding Fee Scale:
We use a sliding fee scale that adjusts the fee based on income and family size. This method helps tailor the fees to be more manageable for families with different financial capabilities. We ensure that the details of our fee scale are transparent and available to you either during enrollment or upon request.
