Tuition

• Tuition in full is due 5 days prior to your child’s start date. If you have a scholarship, present a copy of the letter and sign a waiver for the preschool to contact that agency to confirm the payment terms. As a cozy private school we are unable to recant contracts with our teaching professionals; therefore, prorating of tuition for vacation, sick days, late starts or middle of month withdrawals is not possible.  All tuition is required to be paid in advance (3) three days before the start of the new month. If tuition is not paid by 1^st day of the month (2 days grace) a $40 weekly fee will be assessed, until the balance is paid. Tuition is non-refundable but tax deductible.   * * * Military Discount of $100 off tuition per month from the Full, School and Part Day Programs are allowed with a contract till July 22, 2012.
