Offered
Monthly Tuition is based on the actual costs of operating the preschool divided by the number of students enrolled. Fees for the following year are pro-rated over nine months, September through May. There is no June tuition. Tuition payments are due on the first day of each month and are considered late after the tenth day of the month. Tuition payments made after the tenth day of the month will be assessed an additional $25.00 late fee. A fee of $25.00 will be charged for bank returned checks. A 10% discount is given to families with 2 or more children enrolled at the same time. The operating expenses of the First Presbyterian Preschool are met each month from tuition fees, therefore, no refunds can be given for days absent. No credit is given for any absence. Should your child require absence of more than four weeks, we will continue to maintain your child's place during this period, if the monthly tuition is paid. Additional Fees. Parents will be asked to pay additional modest fees in support of specific programs through the year: for pumpkin during Harvest Days (October) and student school pictures. Admissions We welcome children of all races, national origin and religious background. Enrollment is limited to 96 children and governed by the terms of the license issued by the California Department of Social Services. The minimum age for enrollment is two years, nine months as of September 1. All children must be toilet trained by the time school starts. A physician's report of a physical exam within the past 12 months and an up-to-date certificate of immunizations must be submitted on or before the first day of school. The state law requires a physician's report of good health upon entrance and immunization for Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio, Measles, Hepatitis B, Chickenpox, and a TB check. A child may be exempted from this requirement when parents sign a request for exemption on the basis of religious beliefs or a physician recommends against immunization on medical grounds. Enrollment Step 1 - A $100.00 registration fee (per family) is payable at the time of registration and is not refundable or applicable to the cost of tuition. Enrollees meet with the director for an interview and tour of the facilities. Registration Form Enrollment Step 2 - Before the first day of school, the school must receive the child's physical exam report and all informational forms required by the Department of Social Services, (These forms will be distributed to enrolled families in June.) Enrollment During the Year - Registrants are accepted, as space becomes available, following an interview between director and parents / guardians, receipt of the physical exam report and all informational forms required by the Department of Social Services. Class Placement - Children are placed in classes according to maturation and ability, as determined by the Director and staff. You will be notified of classroom placement at Orientation in September. Withdrawal - Children benefit most when the school and the home have a similar philosophy and utilize similar methods of teaching and discipline. Should the time arise when either the First Presbyterian Preschool or the parent feels that the child is not benefiting from the program, either the school or the parent may request withdrawal without prejudice with a thirty (30) day written notice.
