Options, Program Rates, and Payment Information

---

WKUCCC provides fee-based day care services in addition to the federally funded slots for Head Start children aged 3-5 years old and Early Head Start children up to 36 months. 

Each family enrolled in the Day Care program will sign a Day Care Agreement form that will detail the weekly fees due and the terms associated with the enrollment needs of the family. Payment for child care services is required to be current in order to attend the day care facility per terms of the Agreement.

• If you qualify for the Head Start or Early Head Start programs, your child will be enrolled in the morning Child Care Session at no cost.  
  
  

Child Care Options 

• Full-Time Child Care Enrollment  is available on a weekly payment basis from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. 

• Head Start or Early Head Start qualified Enrollment is offered for FREE. Head Start and Early Head Start operate from 7:30 AM - 2:30 PM Monday through Friday. (Afternoon attendance for HS or EHS requires Extended-Day services - see below) 

• Extended-Day child care services for families enrolled in Head Start or Early Head Start is fee-based and operates in the afternoon from 2:30 – 5:00 PM

Classroom assignment for an enrolled child is contingent upon available slots, age group, and appropriate placement of the child as determined by the Management Staff of WKUCCC and family input. WKUCCC reserves the right to consolidate classes, if necessary.  If an appropriate slot is not available, the child will be put on a waiting list and the family will be contacted as soon as space becomes available.

Payment by check or money order can be left in one of the payment drop boxes found outside Rooms 119 or 104, or inside Room 116. Payment by credit card can be made at www.wku.edu/ccc. If payment has not been received on time, you will be contacted by WKUCCC to discuss payment and potential restriction or limiting of child care services until payment has been made in full. However, children enrolled in Head Start or Early Head Start may continue to attend (in fact, are very welcome to attend) during their assigned Head Start or Early Head Start hours regardless of payment due or owed for additional child care.

Payment by check or money order can be left in one of the designated drop box, or at the WKUCCC Office in Room 125.

Payment is also accepted from CCAP (State Child Care Assistance). Contact 270-746-7072 for information.
