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 $56.00 and a Part-Day $28.00 |
| 2 years of age | Full-Day $44.00 and a Part-Day $22.00 |
| 3 and Older | Full-Day $37.00, Part-Day $20.00 and a School Age-Day $20.00 |
- 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.
Each child can be allowed up to 10 days per calendar year out of daycare at no charge this is to accommodate vacations, doctor visits, sickness, etc.; these are based on contracted enrollment days, so that Lucky Charms Daycare can adjust its staffing level appropriately. Two days a year with only two hours notice will be accepted for sickness (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).
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).
*Due to COVID-19, this vacation day policy is suspended for 2021
Lucky Charms must be given 2 weeks’ written notice for a child to be withdrawn from the daycare.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).
