Excessive late pick up’s (exceeding 3) are grounds for termination of services.

Perks & Discounts
Multiple Child Discount:
At Beginnings and Beyond we offer a discount if parents/guardians enroll more than one child into the center. We understand the burden of having to make payments for more than one child and hope to alleviate some of this burden by offering a multiple child discount. Parents/Guardians must pay the highest tuition rate for one child, and each additional child’s tuition will be discounted 15% per child.
Military Discount:
At Beginnings and Beyond we offer a 15% discount per child enrolled for our military families and military veterans.
Vacation Credit:
After one year of enrollment, each family is offered one week per year of free tuition for each child enrolled at the center. This can be utilized during a week when your child is not at the center. These vacation weeks do not roll over.
Referral Credit:
If you refer Beginnings and Beyond to a friend have them mention you as a referral and we will credit you $50 to your account if the child enrolls. This credit is per child referred and enrolled.
