BILLING INFORMATION
  • Bills are sent electronically to the email address on file. ET bills are sent via e-mail from vsimail.com. Bills go out approximately around the 15th of the month. If you do not receive a bill, please check your junk box.
  • Fees are paid monthly by the 1st of the month. Fees paid later than the 10th of the month will incur a late fee of $25 per child and your child is no longer eligible to attend. ET attendance may resume upon FULL payment of your child's bill.
  • Payments for Extended Time can be mailed to or dropped off at the Administrative Office, 1 E. Crystal Lake Avenue. Down below are directions on how to set up automatic monthly payments or paying online. If you have any questions regarding billing please contact Kim Dunn at (815)459-0680 ext. 1233.
