Admissions - Late Pick Up & Financial Assistance

Fees: Pell-Eligible Students/Scholarships

Parents/guardians enrolled at Shawnee State University will not be required to pay for AM/PM childcare extensions (7:00-9:00 a.m. or 3:00-5:00 p.m.) if they are enrolled in a course requiring an extended day i.e. an 8:00-10:00 a.m. class or a 2:00-4:00 p.m. class.

Pell students are required to submit an official copy of their SSU schedule along with the Pell award letter each quarter. Eligibility for Shawnee State University Childcare Scholarship with a $12.00 per day rate requires an annual determination letter from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services before scholarship consideration will be given

Late Pick Up

The preschool hours are 9:00-3:00 with a 15 minute no-penalty drop-off window.

Morning/Afternoon Childcare Extensions

Morning childcare (7:00-9:00 a.m.) and afternoon childcare (3:00-5:00 p.m.) have an extended fee of $5.00 per session. That is a flat family rate for one or more children. There is a 15-minute grace period before extended care charges are billed, thus families arriving anytime between 8:45 and 9:00 or departing anytime from 3:00-3:15 will not be billed an extra charge.

Payments by cash, check or money order only are accepted on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis and are expected to be paid in advance of the service. Paying for the quarter in advance allows for a 5% discount. There is also a 20% discount for siblings.
