RCI’s College Scholarship Funds Any high school senior who is a former student/graduate of Rainbow Chimes or whose parent is employed with Rainbow Chimes may apply for our $1,000.00 college scholarship. Applications are available at the Program Service Office, and must be returned by August 30th. Awards will be based on merit and other specific judging criteria.
Sibling Discounts Rainbow Chimes offers 10% off the older child’s fee when siblings are enrolled.
Pre-Payment Discounts 3% - 12% tuition discounts may be taken for a corresponding three to twelve month's pre-payment.
Employer Vouchers & Discounts Rainbow Chimes has agreements with several local employers and non-profit agencies to provide child care services at a discount to their employees. Generally, the employer makes up the difference in a tax-deductible subsidy directly to the Center. Speak to your employer about setting up an appointment with an RCI Director to learn how you may both benefit financially from this option.
RCI Employee Discount Staff members enjoy a substantial reduction in child care fees at the Huntington site, in addition to the application of their tax-advantaged RCI Cafeteria Benefits to this cost.
Low-Income Earner Tuition Subsidies Parents who qualify as low-income earners may be eligible, on a sliding-fee scale, for government-funded tuition subsidies. If you think you might qualify, let us know, and we will be happy to assist you.
Bartered Services Occasionally, a parent may provide a service that may be bartered for part of their child care cost. For example, a landscaper may offer a reduced cost for grounds-keeping and planting at the Center. We accept barter as tuition payment, per IRS rules, and the landscaper gets a big tax break.
Enrollment Referral Reward From time to time, Rainbow Chimes offers enrolled parents tuition credit for referring a new family to the Center. The bonus amount varies depending on the particular reward program, but the new family must be enrolled for a minimum of six months for the rebate to apply. You may receive reward credits for up to a year’s tuition for one of your own children.
