Children enrolled in a part time program should only attend on the days for which the child is registered. Alternate days will need to be approved by your school director. It is important to have your child in class by 8:30 a.m. This will allow your child to receive maximum benefit from our curriculum.

An enrollment fee registers your child in our program from September of one year to September of the following year. This fee is due at the time of enrollment and every September after the date of enrollment. All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

A student attending school for fewer days than the program they are currently registered in will be required to pay full tuition as outlined in our policy. If a student should be absent an entire week, Monday through Friday, one-half of weekly tuition will be due and payable. This policy does not apply to children ages two years and younger. If your child is 2 years or younger, a full weeks tuition is due and payable should your child be absent for any reason. Should you withdraw your child from our program, a three month waiting period will be necessary before your child will be reinstated as an enrollment in our program.
A mid-term supply fee of $30.00 is assessed on January 1st of each year. This fee will cover the cost of supplies purchased throughout the year to implement our High Reach Curriculum.
