The UT Early Learning Center (ELC) is proud to provide tuition assistance to families of children with disabilities enrolling in the ELC. Lilly’s Hand is used to provide individual assistance to families and support inclusive educational experiences for children with and without disabilities at the ELC.
NOTE: Tuition payments for children are based on the current fee payment schedule listed above. The scale may change according to the funding needs of the Early Learning Center programs. All families must make a deposit payment of one month's tuition within 24 hours of accepting an offer of enrollment. Upon payment of deposit, families have an additional 24 hours to review the Parent Handbook and finalize their decision. At the end of this 24 hour period, the deposit is non-refundable. The deposit is refundable upon departure from the program providing all fee payments are current and adequate (30 day) written notice is given. No additional deposit will be required if a second child from one of our families is enrolled. The first deposit will simply be held in our account until the last child exits the program.
Billing and Payment of Tuition: All accounts must be kept current. Parents will be billed each month for the following month’s tuition. Payments are due on or before the 5 th of each month. If no payment is made by the end of the business day on the 10 th of the month, a late fee will be assessed to your account.
Payments may be delivered to the ELC Main Office at White Avenue (Room 2) or to the drop box outside the Business Office at White Avenue (Room 10). If you wish to have a receipt, please see the Administrative Support Assistant in Room 2.
Payments may be sent in the mail to:
UT Early Learning Center
1206 White Avenue
Knoxville , TN 37996-1912
Checks should be made payable to the University of Tennessee and your child’s name and reason for payment should be noted on the memo line. If your account is not completely paid by the end of each month, your child may not be allowed to return to the center. Any accounts that are past due will be collected according to the University policy, which may result in the garnishment of wages, holding of student records (if applicable), and/or involvement of a collection agency. If a financial hardship arises, please contact the ELC Business Office or Executive Director to make payment arrangements.
