Fees for late student pick-up
Picking up your child on time is important. In rare situations, we understand you may be late due to unforeseen circumstances. Please notify your child’ s teacher if you will be late picking up.
• There is a $ 10.00 charge for the first ten minutes and an additional $ 1.00 charge for each minute after the first ten minutes. Late charges are not meant to provide child care at the end of the preschool day, but to ensure children are picked up on time so our teaching teams can prepare for the other classes in their schedule. ALL preschool registrations are required to provide a payment method to be kept on file. Late pick up fees will be charged to the payment method on file. Repeated late pick ups of any time amount or failure to pay late fees may result in termination from the preschool program.
• Repeated late pickups or failure to pay late fees may result in termination from the preschool program.
• Families will be notified of late fees by their site clerical staff.
Tuition Payments
• Initial payment includes a $ 49 non-refundable registration fee and last month of tuition( if applicable). No payment is made until child’ s class is confirmed.
• Recurring tuition payments will begin August 1 for September tuition and continue each month until March 1. Tuition payments are due on the first of the month. If payment is not received by the last business day of the month and the account brought current, termination from the preschool program may occur.
• Recurring tuition payments are automatically charged to the bank account or credit card( Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) provided at registration.
• If you have tuition questions, please call 763-506-1500.
Positive Behavior Guidance
Preschool staff use positive behavior guidance to help children learn how to interact with others and use the classroom materials. Children are taught skills to help regulate their behaviors and emotions.
• If you are contacted regarding your child’ s behavior in school, you will be expected to work with school staff on a positive behavior intervention plan to ensure a safe and secure classroom for all children and staff.
• Preschool classrooms use The Pyramid Model, which is a framework of evidence- based practices for promoting young children’ s healthy social and emotional development. You will learn more about The Pyramid Model and how it is implemented in preschool from your child’ s teacher.
• As mandated reporters, we are required by law to report any signs of child abuse / neglect.
Toileting
Children in community preschool spots must be toilet trained to attend preschool classes.
• Teachers can provide verbal guidance, if needed.
Scan for tips on potty training
• A child must know when they need to use the bathroom and can independently take care of their own personal needs.
• Pull-Ups training pants are not a substitute for being toilet trained.
• If a child is experiencing toileting accidents in school, the parent / guardian may be asked to postpone attendance in preschool until the child is completely toilet trained.
• Please talk with your child’ s teacher if you have concerns about toilet training.
