Enrollment and Fees
Enrollment Procedures
- A. Parents may secure child care applications from the Center during regular office hours. Regular office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
- B. In addition to the application for admission parents are required to have a pre-enrollment conference with the Executive Director. Parents should bring their child with them to the pre-enrollment conference. This will give the child an opportunity to meet the teachers and other children and spend some time in their class before the first full day of attendance. During the pre-enrollment conference, parents are encouraged to share information about their child, voice their expectations of the program, and ask questions.
- C. Upon confirmation of enrollment into the program, the Executive Director will schedule a time to meet with the parents to review all forms and requirements. The $50 registration fee and the first week's tuition will be due at this time. Parents must also submit a medical examination report and a current immunization report on their child no later than the first day of enrollment.
- D. It is the responsibility of the parent to report to the office any change of address, telephone numbers (home or work), employment, emergency contact person and medical information.
