tuition insurance?

Does anyone know anything about this?

We received information about tuition insurance with our offer package. I only glanced at it, but what jumped out at me was that your child has to attend the school for 14 days before you can collect benefits. So, it doesn't seem to be a good solution (probably by design) for families who are hoping to accept one school, get off a wait list at a second, and then recover their money from the first.

Again, I only glanced at the info, though, so I could be wrong about this.

Thanks. I thought it must be too good to be true.

I'm reading the insert now. Even if you decide to enroll your child for the 14 days, you only get 60% of the tuition back. The only way you can get 100% of the tuition refund is if (heaven forbid) your child were injured/sick and miss 31 or more consecutive days of school (and that's retroactive to the first day of medical absence).

Interesting. It's definitely not right for our situation, but thanks for posting the information. I bet someone will find it really useful.

Do parents take advantage of the tuition insurance??? We are trying make a decision about the tuition insurance and insurance coverage.

Tuition insurance came in handy for us when we changed our DC's preschool.

Ditto. you never know -- poor fit, move, new job, lose job, etc. the few hundred dollars is worth the piece of mind even if you only get back 60% (or up to 12-15k)
