What are the benefits of connecting my bank account?

✭ You will always receive payment before providing care.

✭ Parents are expected to pay one week in advance. Families will be charged every Monday unless a payment plan is put in place.

✭ We know that parents can miss their payments. Our team will follow up with the family and notify you when the payment has been made.

✭ You can also download an end-of-year report with all of the payment transactions, which will eliminate the need to track payments. Simply download the report and take it to your tax preparer. Say goodbye to stress!
