The Falls Church City School Board has approved a two percent increase in day care fees for the 2008-09 school year or roughly six dollars more per month at the top end of the scale.  The increase reflects rising operating expenses and follows a careful review of last year’s major fee restructuring.

Last summer, fees were restructured and set at 3.5 percent of household income, far less than the national average for school age child care fees of 5 to 9 percent of household income.

Reduced fees are still available for families meeting certain income eligibility requirements.  And for all families, there is a sibling discount of 25 percent, after the first child.
