Payment Options & Policies
We currently accept cash, checks, money orders and credit/debit cards. Each family will receive an invoice at the end of the week reflecting the next week’s activity. Payment is due the Friday prior to the week that services are rendered. We reserve the right to deny admittance to any child whose tuition is not paid in full by the due date. Also, if tuition is not paid by the Monday of the week of services, you are required to pay the Customary Late Payment Rate. There will be a $15.00 per week late fee assessed at the beginning of each week to all past due balances. Credit is not given for sick days or vacation days.
Guidelines
- We accept children from 3 to 5 years of age. All children must be toilet trained in order to attend the preschool.
- Children may attend school 3, 4, or 5 full days each week or 3, 4, or 5 half days each week. This will provide the children with the opportunity to develop a comfortable school routine. The school will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday except as noted in the school calendar.
- In the morning and at the end of the day, each child needs to be signed in and out.
- We will release children only to persons for whom the center has written authorization. We will make exceptions only if the parent speaks directly, in person, or by phone with the teacher responsible for the child at dismissal time. In this case the child will be released, provided that person produces valid photo identification.
- If you need to temporarily or permanently change your child’s schedule you must give a 30 day written notice before the effective change date. Please note: any changes that will be adding days of attendance will need to be requested and approved by the Preschool Director to be sure of availability.
