CHILD TAX CREDIT MONTHLY BENEFITS START JULY 15

Help spread the word of monthly benefits for families! Payments for the new Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan Act start July 15. All working families will get the full credit if they make up to $150,000 for a couple or $112,500 for a family with a single parent (also called Head of Household). For every child six to 17 years old, families will get $250 each month, and for every child under six years old, families will get $300 each month.   

Families who filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020, or who signed up to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service will get this tax relief automatically. Families who didn’t make enough to be required to file taxes in 2019 or 2020 can still get benefits. Visit https://www.whitehouse.gov/child-tax-credit/sign-up/ to sign up.

Pick ups:

If you have two children to pick up it is important that the children stay in stable groups. Please keep child #1 with you while you pick up child #2. Wait at the classroom/playground door. Teachers will direct your child to you. Thank you, hopefully our guidelines will loosen up soon. On another note, we are still experiencing parents picking their children up after 530pm. Unfortunately, I will be enforcing late charges if your child is picked up late. 

Bottle Drop Bags:

Blue Bottle Drop Bags are available to recycle your cans. 5 bags =1 volunteer hour. All proceeds from your recycled cans come back to Growing Tree. Thank you!

Tuition Increase:

Our annual tuition increase will go into effect September 1st. The official letter and rates will be announced August 1st.
