Complimentary Childcare

Childcare is complimentary to families with multiple students across levels during arrival and dismissal times according to the following guidelines.

Before-School Childcare

Childcare is complimentary for younger siblings from the oldest sibling’s arrival time until arrival begins. For example, a family with a student in Upper Elementary/Middle School and a student in Pre-elementary may drop off the older student at the Upper Elementary/Middle School arrival time of 8:10 am and then sign the younger one into Childcare. The time between sign-in for the younger sibling and 8:45 a.m. is complimentary.

After-School Childcare

Childcare is complimentary for younger siblings starting from their dismissal time until the dismissal time of the oldest sibling when the oldest sibling is at school, and both are picked up by the end of the older sibling’s dismissal time. For example, a family with a Pre-elementary student and a Middle School student receive complimentary Childcare for the Pre-elementary student from their dismissal to the Middle School’s dismissal time if both are picked up by 3:40 p.m.

The method of payment for Childcare is ACH. All families new to Eton School must complete an ACH Debit Enrollment/Authorization Form. Returning families only need to complete a new ACH form if and when their bank account information changes.

Invoices are mailed to families no later than the tenth day (or the next business day if the tenth falls on a weekend or holiday) of the month that follows the incurred charges. Ten days later, on the twentieth (or the next business day if the twentieth falls on a weekend or holiday) the ACH payment for the invoice is processed automatically by Eton School and deducted from the authorized bank account.
