Paying tuition (for families)

How to set up autopay, pay through secure payment links, and see your payment history in the family portal.

For parents and guardians.

Set up payment

Your center starts this — you don't have to hunt for anything:

  1. You'll get a secure setup link by email, and a "Set up tuition payments" task appears in your portal's "Action needed" list.
  2. Open it and add your payment details — it takes a minute, with no account to create. You'll be offered card or bank account (ACH), or just one of them if your center only accepts that method or there's a deposit due on the same checkout.
  3. Once you're set up, tuition is charged automatically on your center's schedule.

See your balance & payments

In the portal under Account → Billing, you can see your balance, past payments, and receipts. If a payment failed or your center has requested a payment, a Pay now button appears right there — it opens a secure checkout.

Updating your card or bank

Once you're set up, a Manage payment method link in the portal's Billing card lets you view or update your saved card or bank account. Every payment receipt and reminder email includes the same secure manage link.

Paying a one-time request

If your center sends a one-time charge — a deposit, a field trip — you'll get a secure link by email, and it also appears with a Pay button in your portal's Billing card. Just tap it and pay.

Fees

Paying by bank (ACH) is the cheapest option. A small processing fee may apply depending on your center's settings; you'll always see the total before you confirm.
