Tuition
Full non-refundable monthly tuition is due on the last class day of the preceeding month.  An Early Bird option is available from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and increases tuition by $5.00 per class day. A $10.00 late fee is added to any payment made after tuition due date.  Your child’s placement in the program is reserved by making a timely tuition payment.  In the event of late tuition, the child’s placement may not be held and a child on the program’s waiting list may enroll for that opening. Please understand that caregiver and director salaries are completely dependent upon collected tuition.

Late Pickup Fee
Class time is 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. A $5.00 late pickup fee is charged for each 15 minute increment that a child remains past 2:00 p.m.

Snack
Daily snack is provided.  Please inform the director of any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Lunch

Children bring their own nutritious, ready-to-eat lunches to class. Water is provided for all. Infants may bring bottles and baby food in jars. Notify the caregiver if the bottle or baby food should be heated.

Tote

A plastic beach tote is provided for each child.  Lunches, extra clothing, and diapers may be brought to class in the tote.  Artwork and newsletters will go home in the tote.

Cubby

A cubby is available to each child in the infant room for the storage of extra diapers, wipes, clothing, and special snacks.

Show And Tell

Toys brought to class can be lost, broken, or cause hurt feelings.  The first Monday class day and the first Wednesday class day of each month are designated as “show and tell” days.  This allows each child to share a favorite item from home.  Make sure the item is clearly labeled with the child’s name so the item returns home with the proper family.  Contact the director for arrangements regarding special show and tell visitors: such as pets, which are truly welcome and always a treat.

Schedule

Each classroom has a flexible schedule of activities planned to make the day interesting and fun without the burden of too much structure.

Curriculum

Classroom lessons and activities are planned using the Wee Learn curriculum.  This is an age-specific, non-denominational, religion-based workbook.  An informative parent letter and activity sheet, copied from the workbook, will be sent home whenever a new unit is begun in each classroom.

Behavior

The director will notify the family by phone if a child is unhappy for more than a short while.  The family member and director can then decide what should be done to make the child more comfortable.  A child who exhibits aggressive behavior, creating an unsafe environment, will be removed from the situation.  The inappropriate behavior will be briefly addressed and attention will be quickly diverted from the action. Repeated aggressive behavior during the same class day may result in the director phoning the family and asking that the child be removed from the program for that day. 

T-Shirt

A M.M.O. program t-shirt will be provided for each child and should be worn on all field trip days.

Celebrations

Contact the director if you would like to make arrangements to celebrate your child’s birthday during class time or if you would like to prepare a seasonal or holiday party.  A class roster will be sent home for the Valentine’s Day card exchange.
