 In the event of a serious accident, parents will be notified as soon as possible. First Steps will seek emergency treatment for the child by dialing 911. First Steps will not transport the child to the hospital; this will only be done by ambulance.

 I authorize First Steps to consult the physician/dentist named if parents cannot be reached.  Payment for this care/treatment is the responsibility of the parents.

CENTER HOURS OF OPERATION

 First Steps Early Childhood Learning Center is open from 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The center will be closed in recognition of various holidays throughout the year. I have been provided with a list of holiday closings. There is no reduction in tuition as a result of scheduled and bad weather closures.

 If I or other authorized persons fail to pick up my child and/or contact the center, and I or other persons cannot be reached, center staff, within one hour of closing time, may release children to the custody of child protective services or local authorities.

TUITION AND FEES I understand that my

weekly tuition fees are

as follows: Child: __________________ Tuition: $_____________ Discount: $__________ Net Tuition:$__________

 A nonrefundable annual registration fee of $______is due at the time of enrollment and payable each year by September 1st_.  First Steps Early Childhood Learning Center policy requires a contracted, set schedule for your child with a minimum of 2 days per

week. If the necessity arises for additional days not previously scheduled for your child, First Steps Early Childhood Learning Center will accommodate additional days based on space availability. Payment for the additional days will be made at your contracted daily rate.

 Following five (5) occurrences of early drop-off or late pick-up you will be asked to permanently change your schedule to reflect your pick-up/drop- off time.Reservation forms are available in the office to request a schedule change or extended leave. Notice is required two-weeks in advance to change your child’s schedule, and in order to be eligible for the extended leave discount. You may change your child’s schedule once in a calendar year without any charges. An administrative fee of $20 per change will be charged for each change thereafter.

 I agree to pay full tuition even if my child is absent for one or more days. Tuition fees are not subject to pro-ration for illness, holidays, or emergency closure of the center.

 Vacation leave: for each full calendar week my child is absent, the tuition fee will be discounted 50% as a reservation fee. I understand I will ONLY receive 2 vacation weeks per year and the payment for reservation fees should be made in advance. The center requests a two-week notice of an intended vacation. After 2 weeks have been discounted, full tuition will be due for any additional weeks of vacation. Please contact the center for more information on Extended Leave Discounts. Vacation and Extended leave discounts are ONLY available to children enrolled full-time.

 A late pick-up fee of $1.00 per minute per child will be assessed when a child is left beyond the center’s operating hours. The late pick-up fee does not constitute an agreement to provide after-hours service, nor will the late fee be applied toward tuition. Chronic late pick-up may be grounds for termination of services.

 Weekly tuition is due by 6:30 p.m. on the Friday prior to services rendered. Tuition paid monthly is due by 6:30 p.m. on the 1st business day of each month. If tuition is not paid in advance as listed above, a late fee of $25 will be charged.

 Tuition checks that are returned by our financial institution for non-sufficient funds will be assessed an additional check charge of $25 per check and $25 late fee. A delinquent account jeopardizes your child’s care space. First Steps Early Childhood Learning Center reserves the right to discontinue care for your child when tuition is in arrears for more than one week. In the event that my account is sent to collections, I will be responsible for the balance of my account and any reasonable collection of attorney fees and costs associated with the collection of the account.

 In the event that you find it necessary to cancel your child care, you must give a written and dated notice of cancellation to the Center Director two-weeks prior to such termination of services. A fee equivalent to two-weeks of child care tuition will be charged in the event timely notice is not received. You will be required to bring your account up to date.

 My child may have the opportunity to participate in special programs/field trips. This may result in an additional fee due before the day of the event and may require completion of a specific permission slip.

SCHEDULED ATTENDANCE

I understand that a change in this schedule must be made in writing and may require a new Enrollment Agreement.
