EMERGENCY CARE INFORMATION

I agree that in case of an emergency, the Director of the Preschool or any of my child’s teachers has permission to seek any medical help she feels  necessary for my child if neither parents nor emergency names can be reached OR if the Director feels that the situation warrants emergency care. If it is necessary to call 911 and parents have not responded, my child will be taken to the hospital that the emergency responders suggest.

Does your child have any medical condition, physical condition or developmental delays that they are currently or have in the past received services or therapies for – including speech/language or learning?  Please describe and give information, including any assessments performed: 

Tuition is due on the first of each month. A late fee of $30.00 is charged for tuition received after the 5th of each month unless prior arrangements have been made with the director. Tuition is the same amount every month. Tuition is not waived for vacations or sickness. Families with more than one child in the program will have a 10% discount applied to the tuition rate(s) of the lesser tuition charges. There is a $30 handling fee for all returned checks. Tuition may be paid with cash, check, or PayPal.

Classes meet from 9:00 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. daily. Your child is to be picked up each day between 12:45 p.m. and 1:00. Late fee charges begin at 1:01. Beginning at 1:01, late fees are charged at the rate of $10 for the first 10 minutes or fraction thereof and an addition $3 per minute after 10 minute. Example: A child is picked up at 1:08, 8 minutes late - the late fee is $10. A child is picked up at 1:15, 15 minutes late – the fee is $25 ($10 for the first 10 minutes and $15 for the next 5 minutes - $3/minute x 5).

Lunch is brought from home. We do not have facilities for heating or refrigerating lunches.

Music and Movement, ScienceKids, and FitKids classes are offered as a part of our curriculum for all children and is paid through the Activity Fee. The preschool reserves the right to cancel these at any time.

Our teachers provide a curriculum of age appropriate activities each day. We stress social skills and self-help skills rather than academics. Playground time is scheduled every day, weather permitting. We celebrate the secular and religious sides of the holidays.
