Holidays, Closing and "As Needed" Weeks
The Center is closed as follows:
- All University holidays (consult the Official University Calendar for details)
- Two weeks between Fall and Spring semester (during Winter Break)
The Center is open on an "as needed" basis between 7:45 and 5:30 p.m. as follows:
- One week between Spring and Summer semesters
- One week between Summer and Fall semesters
- If your child is not attending during an "as needed" week, no tuition is charged.

except those that fall during the two weeks during Winter Break (Christmas Day,
New Years.)
Tuition and Fees
A non-refundable registration fee (equal to one week’s fees), is due upon notification of a child’s acceptance in the center. This fee will be used to pay the last week of the semester’s fees if the child is enrolled for the full semester.- If a parent withdraws a child during the semester, the deposit will be forfeited. Each semester you will be required to notify us of your intention to re-enroll for the following semester.
- If your child remains in care for the following semester, the deposit will be rolled over to that semester, until the end of the fiscal year, at the end of the spring session. The deposit will then be applied to the last week of the spring session, and you will be asked to make a new deposit for the new fiscal year.
- Tuition checks should be made payable to SMU Preschool and Childcare Center. There will be a $20.00 charge for each check that is returned for non sufficient funds (NSF). After a second NSF check is issued, only cash or money orders will be accepted.
- If paying in cash, a receipt will be issued. Receipts for payments made by check will be issued only upon request.
- Please leave all payments inside the center hallway in the blue basket
designated for checks. Teachers may not accept payments in the classroom or on
the playground.
- No tuition reductions are made for absences unless it is an "as needed" week.
If your tuition payment is not current, we will ask that you not bring your child to the center until tuition is paid in full. The center reserves the right to fill your child’s slot if payment is not received or if no arrangement for payment is made within one week.
A two-week notice must be given to the center if you withdraw your child during the semester.
There is a $50.00 per child supply fee due at the beginning of each semester.
