Tuition: Tuition is an annual commitment. However, payments may be divided into ten (10) equal payments due the 1st of each month, beginning August 1st. If the August payment is not received by August 15th, we cannot guarantee a space for your child. If students withdraw after August 15th, the August payment is non-refundable. Students are considered enrolled for the entire year. The Administration makes staff decisions and purchases curriculum based on enrollment numbers. Please contact the preschool office if you have any questions or concerns. A $25.00 late fee is added to the balance due on the 15th of each month. If two children of the same family are enrolled in the preschool, full tuition is paid for the child with the higher rate and a 10% is given for the child with tuition equal to or less than the child with the higher rate.

Guidelines
Parent Visits
Parents are always welcome to visit our preschool. We ask that you make an appointment for your initial visit in order to ensure the time necessary to answer all your questions and observe the classroom for 15 minutes. Any time after that, you are welcome to drop in and observe for a short period of time. We ask that you stop by the preschool office to check in first.
Parent Orientation
A Parent Orientation Night is held prior to the first day of preschool in order for parents to further acquaint themselves with the goals, policies and programs of the preschool. It is a time for parents to meet the teachers, view the facilities and complete final registration procedures. An Open House is held prior to the first day of preschool so the child can become familiar with the facilities and meet other classmates.
Immunization Prior to Enrollment
No child shall be unconditionally admitted as a student of the preschool, unless prior to admission, written verification is presented showing the child has been immunized against diphtheria, pertusis, tetanus, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, and rubella in a manner and with immunizing agents approved by the State Department of Public Health. The only exception to this policy is a child whose licensed physician has submitted a written statement that immunization cannot be given to the child.
