Can I get my money back if my child decides not to come? The $100 deposit is always non-refundable. If the child is paid in full the balance may be refunded if the spot can be filled with plenty of notice.
Can I get my money back if my child does not complete the entire week? In emergency cases only partial refunds may be refunded at director's discretion.
