Fees
At the time of enrollment, an application must be accompanied by a non-refundable Registration Fee and a non-refundable Materials Fee (to be billed on a yearly basis). Parents whose children are enrolled in the Day Care Center School or Extended Day Programs that opt to enroll their children in our Summer Program will incur an additional $50.00 Registration Fee.
Deposits
A one-month deposit is also required upon enrollment. This deposit will be refunded to you in full after payment for your child's last month at Children's Corner Nursery School has been paid. Any balanced due the school will be deducted from the deposit.
Since Children's Corner is a 12-month school, parents have the option of enrolling their child in our summer program. Should the parent opt not to enroll the child for July and August, tuition will be waived. However, the deposit will be carried over to the new school year in order to hold the spot for September enrollment.
Payment of Tuition
Besides the initial one-month deposit payment, you will be billed on a monthly basis during the year. If the child is enrolled mid-month, the child's tuition will be calculated accordingly. Tuition is due the first of each month. Payments made after the 5th of the month will incur a $25.00 penalty.
If a parent falls one month behind in payment of tuition fees, the child will not be allowed to attend the Center until such time as payment is brought up to date. The child's place will not be held. Each case of non-payment will be reviewed on an individual basis before dismissal occurs.
There are no refunds for days missed due to illness, vacations or school closings due to inclement weather. Also, deposits cannot be used against vacation time or any other additional fees.
Make-Up Days/Extra Days
Make-up days and/or switching of days are not allowed for days missed due to vacation, illness or school closings (i.e. holidays, inclement weather, etc.).
A child may be brought in on a day he/she is not enrolled only upon clearance from management and with the understanding that there will be a current fee incurred for the time the child is in.
Withdrawals
If a child must be withdrawn during the year, a one month written notice must be given to the center or else parents will be charged for that period. Since Ready, Set, Learn is a monthly school, herein, the term "monthly" refers to the 1st of any given month through the 1st of the following month. Should a child be withdrawn from the program mid-month, tuition will not be pro-rated. A new registration fee, materials fee and deposit will be required should the child re-enroll at a later date.
