Scheduling and Tuition

Tuition and Scheduling for Academic Year 2025 - 2026

The CSUSB Children's Center offers different funding options depending on families needs. We offer state-funding to families that qualify according to income eligibility. We also support CSUSB student parents with CCAMPIS funding that provides care while students are in class. In addition, families can pay full-cost tuition to attend our center. We do not have a registration fee to apply for our waitlist application. 

State-funding

Subsidized fees are available for parents who qualify. Subsidized care is offered when family income meets specific criteria established by the State of California. We require specific paperwork and documentation to confirm eligibility to receive state-funding. 

Prior to enrollment and at 12 month intervals, you will be required to provide:

• 2 months of consecutive pay stubs for the most recent pay periods prior to enrollment
• If self-employed, a signed statement of income and expenses for the year to date
• Court-ordered child support documents, if applicable, or affidavit of child/spousal support
• Documentation of cash aid, unemployment checks, or disability payments, if applicable
• If seasonally employed, verification of income for the 12 months prior to enrollment
• Verification of any other income such as periodic gifts
• Documentation of any child support which you pay
• If a single parent, self-certification that you are the sole caregiver of the child

You are also required to verify:

• All family members in your household
  • This includes birth certificates for all other siblings of the child
  • If the other parent does not live at home, you will need to indicate this under penalty and perjury
• Your current address and phone number
• Student I.D. number (if applicable)

CCAMPIS

The Child Care Access Means Parents in School (CCAMPIS) Program, authorized by the Higher Education Act and administered by the U.S. Department of Education, supports the participation of low-income families in postsecondary education through the provision of campus-based childcare services. Childcare is available only for when classes are scheduled. Please visit the CCAMPIS website for more information

Full Cost Tuition

The Children’s Center is open for childcare when the university is open for business; we are closed on all federal holidays. Major closures include winter break (Dec 23-Jan 2), spring break, and summer break (week at end of May). Each year you will plan a personal child care schedule that will meet your needs for class time, studying, and/or employment.

Tuition is based on the amount of days scheduled per week. The following schedule show the cost of monthly tuition. 

*Note: For half days, you will choose a max of 4 hours between either the a.m. or p.m. sessions-- half days may not split between a.m./p.m. sessions (a.m.= 7:00am-12:00pm; p.m.= 12:00pm-5:30pm).

*Note: For half days, you will choose a max of 4 hours between either the a.m. or p.m. sessions-- half days may not split between a.m./p.m. sessions (a.m.= 7:30am-12:00pm; p.m.= 12:00pm-5:30pm).

After you have completed and turned in your schedule request forms to the Administrative Support Coordinator, a Child Care Contract will be signed. You will agree to be consistent in using your contracted hours for the academic year, August through June.  Any alteration to your schedule is considered a change. A temporary change of contract will need to be signed if a change is made to regular hours for one day only. A permanent change is a change of regular hours for the remainder of the academic year and a new child care contract will need to be established.

All parents/caregivers must sign a childcare contract each academic year. No contracts will be written for less than one full year with the exception of summer sessions.

The full contract amount must be paid regardless of absences or holidays. No credits, make-up time, or switching of days will be permitted.

Payments made after the due date will be assessed a $25.00 late fee.

All fees must be paid up front or according to the payment calendar.

Staff and Community: Payment with late fee not paid by the last day of each month will result in immediate termination of your contract.

Students: Payment with late fee not paid by the last day of each month will result in immediate termination of your contract and your student records will be placed on hold.  

Checks should be made payable to CSUSB Children’s Center. You can pay by check or money order ONLY.

A $25 processing fee will be charged for all returned checks. After the occurrence of two returned checks, payments must be made by money order thereafter.

Two weeks’ notice and/or payment are required to terminate a contract.
