REGISTRATION / SUPPLY FEES:

  • If a Registration / Supply Fee is required then it must be paid IN FULL at the time a new OR re-enrollment application is submitted. Applications will not be processed without this Fee paid in full.
  • Any exceptions to number 1 listed above is the sole discretion of the Director and requests for exceptions must be done so in writing by applicant and given to the Director.
  • Registration / Supply Fees whether paid in full or a portion thereof, are NON-REFUNDABLE, unless the Director denies acceptance of a new or re-enrolling student once the application process is complete.
  • If a Registration / Supply Fee is not paid in full, but a payment plan is agreed upon, as indicated in number 2. above, and then the parent decides to withdraw application for their child and stop the enrollment process, the Registration / Supply Fee balance will still be due in full. No exceptions.

TUITION & ALL CHARGES:

  • Tuition is billed in the form of a statement at the end of the month for the month upcoming. Any additional charges incurred during the month are billed on the next month's statement. Account balances are due IN FULL at the first of every month. A late fee of $20. is assessed if ANY PORTION of an account is not paid in full by 4:00p.m. on the fifteenth (15) day of the month.
  • A child will be not allowed to attend the program if an account is carrying a balance 30 days past the month that the charges are due. For example, if a tuition amount is due on the first of November and it is November 30 and a balance exists, then a child must not attend the program until the account balance is at 0.
  • If a child is not allowed to attend the program until an account balance is paid in full, tuition will not be prorated for the period of absence. Furthermore, if an account is carrying a balance 30 days past the month it was due in, and is not brought current within 60 days; the child's name will be withdrawn from the roster and considered dismissed from the program. In order for a child to return to the program after the 60-day period the balance would need to be paid in full and an opening be available on the appropriate classroom's roster.

PAYMENTS:

  • All payments may be made in cash, or with a check or money order. Checks and money orders should be made payable to Noah's Ark Christian Preschool.

Checks returned to the Preschool for any reason must be replaced with a payment in cash or money order to include the full amount of the original check submitted, as well as a $20. fee. Family accounts submitting two checks returned over a five-month period must make all future payments with cash or money order.

REFUNDS:

If a child is withdrawn or dismissed from any program for any reason after one day of attendance in any given month, refunds are not given for any portion of any payment. However, if a child enters the program after the 15th of any given month then tuition is half the cost for that particular month.

LATE FEES:

  • Late drop off fees are as follows FOR VPK ONLY PROGRAMS: A flat rate of $6.00 per day for drop off after 8:30a.m. or 9:45a.m. *Please note* Children may not arrive after 9:15a.m. or 10:30a.m.unless prior arrangements have been made.

Late pick up fees are as follows FOR ALL PROGRAMS: $1.00 per minute if a child has not been picked up by 11 minutes or more after a designated pick up time of 11:15a.m., or 12:45p.m., or 4:00p.m., or 5:00p.m.
UNLESS PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE PRESCHOOL OFFICE FOR A CHILD TO STAY LATE.

REFERRAL FEES:

  • Referral Fees are paid to persons that have been listed on a new application for all programs (other than VPK ONLY) as the source credited for the new family finding out about Noah's Ark Christian Preschool. New families enrolled must not have had a child enrolled in the Preschool for the last three years and must currently have a child attending the Preschool at the time the Referral Fee is paid. Referral Fees are paid to current families at a rate of $200.00 per new family and are paid to persons without a child currently enrolled, at a rate of $50.00 per new family, regardless of how many children are newly enrolled from the same household. Referral Fees of $200.00 are paid only to current families with accounts in good standing.
  • If a Referral Fee is due, but a family account has a balance outstanding 30 days past the month the fees were due, then the Referral Fee amount will be issued as a credit for payment toward the account balance. Referral Fees are paid 3 months after a new family has enrolled and begun attendance.

VPK ABSENCES:

  • Children are allowed to miss 3 days a month.
  • If a child is absent more than 3 days the parent will be responsible for paying a $20. charge every day the child is absent beyond the 3 days.
