Late Student Pick-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.
