Admission
Prior to admission, each parent will be given a tour of the school and will be interviewed to help us learn more about your child. Each parent will be given a packet with the necessary information and forms that will need to be filled out. These will help us in the proper care of your child and also inform you of the policies and regulations we follow.
- Registration Fee - A non-refundable registration fee of $25.00 will save your child a spot on our roll sheets for the starting date you have designated.
- Application (7/13/17) - The child care application provides us with vital information that we may use to contact you in the case that your child would become ill. Any time this information changes please let us know. We would also use the names listed as approved pick up people for your child. This form should be updated yearly.
- Consent Form (5/14/15) - Our consent form gives permission for your child to be involved in the following: emergency treatment, picture taking, excursions off the premises, athletic activity participation, facility transportation, and medication administration. This also lets us know that you accept financial responsibility for accidents and tuition fees incurred.
- Certified Copy of Child’s Birth Certificate - The Center will scan the original into our computer system and return it immediately.
