Child Care Payment Rates
Lucky Charms Daycare is happy to work with the Illinois State Child Care Assistance Program, because we believe every parent deserves to know their child is being looked after in a safe and happy environment.
‘As of January 1, 2021 the new rates shown below go into effect:
| Under 2 years of age | Full-Day $64.00 and a Part-Day $32.00 |
| 2 years of age | Full-Day $51.00 and a Part-Day $26.00 |
| 3 and Older | Full-Day $43.00, Part-Day and School Days $25.00 |
- For care provided less than 4 ½ hours per day, use the Part-Day rate.
- For care provided from 4 ½ to 10 hours per day, use the Full-Day rate.
The Non-state assisted client with a child(ren) enrolled for five full-time days will be allowed five scheduled days per calendar year out of daycare with no charge. A child(ren) enrolled four full-time days will be allowed four scheduled days per calendar year out of daycare with no charge. A child(ren) enrolled three full-time days will be allowed three scheduled days per calendar year out of daycare with no charge. **Any contract signed after January 31st of the contractual year must see the director for their pro-rated number of days.**
The State assisted clients will be expected to attend at least 80% of the allotted days your child is approved by CCR&R resource state assistance and will be charged for all days during the calendar year.
All other absences on the child’s scheduled days will be charged at the regular rate. (Please note the state cannot be charged for a day that a child does not attend, therefore it will be your responsibility to pay for these days).
Lucky Charms must be given 2 weeks’ written notice for a child to be withdrawn from the daycare. There will be a charge until the notice is giving and the 2 weeks is up.
State-Assisted Clients will be obligated to pay any and all of their bill that the State does not cover for any reason.
Lucky Charms does offer a referral program where we will credit one week of one child’s daycare bill up to $144.00 when another child (non-sibling) is referred to our program and is full-time for one month (20 days in a calendar month).
