  2. There is a $10 late fee added to tuition if not received by the tenth (10th) day of each month.
  3. Tuition refunds/credits are not granted for days a student does not attend upon withdrawal. Families that withdraw after August 1st will forfeit their deposit. A 30-day written notice is required for withdrawal. In the event of withdrawal, the prepaid tuition is refunded ONLY in the event the family is relocating to an address outside of the MDO attendance area. The Director must receive 30-day written notice of the parent’s intent. 
  4. There is a tuition discount when more than one child from a family is enrolled in our program. A 10% discount will be given to each sibling after the oldest child’s tuition.
  5. Late Pickup Fee: If your child is habitually picked up late, after the first 10 minutes you will be charged $10 and $0.50 / minute for each additional minute. (The staff will determine if there is a habitual problem.) Students who are absent for 3 consecutive weeks without paid tuition and a given reason — submitted to the Director in writing or by phone — will be withdrawn automatically without tuition reimbursement.
  6. Tuition refunds/credits will not be granted for days canceled due to inclement weather, teacher workdays, acts of God, or days a child does not attend due to family travel or illness.
  7. Tuition refunds/credits are not granted for students who attend a partial day due to illness, injury, discipline, or family schedule conflicts.
  8. Tuition is not prorated or discounted in the case that a child attends fewer class days than offered per week.
  9. Any student whose tuition payment is over 15 days late may be considered for withdrawal.
  10. We do not make up days lost due to inclement weather or other Act of God emergencies. MDO does not provide monetary refunds or credit for days lost due to inclement weather or other emergencies considered an Act of God. Should FCPS add school days that fall within our established calendar, we will add the same school days, only if MDO has missed days, but will retain the right to determine which classes will attend those make-up days based upon the number of class days missed. For more information on our amended schedule on snow days click here.
