Note that fees has changed as a result of the increased program hours for the 2022-2023 school year.

Rates based on Federal poverty guidelines.
Late Payment Policy
Payment is due on the 5th of each month. Late payments will be charged an extra fee of 10% of monthly payment. Families who miss one tuition payment will become delinquent in their accounts and will be given a deadline to make these payments in full. Failure to meet this deadline will result in immediate suspension from The Richmond Neighborhood Center program until payments are made.
Pursuing and processing late payments are detrimental to our resources and take attention away from our programming. We ask all families to be responsible and submit tuition on time (inquire about our convenient auto-pay options).
If your family is unable to pay the current monthly tuition or feel your monthly rate does not reflect your current financial situation, please contact us. We will work out an arrangement!
Tuition Criteria
Your enrollment fees were assessed based on our 2022-2023 fee reduction schedule and the financial information you submitted to us with your child’s application. If you qualify for our sliding tuition scale, please email a copy of your 2021 1040 tax form to registration@richmondsf.org.
The monthly co-payment fee will be waived for a family that is eligible for free & reduced lunch, except for those co-payments required by local, state or federal tuition subsidy programs.
