Because we are a 24 hour facility and the needs of each family may be different in each case, each child's tuition may also vary. You will be given your rate upon enrollment and once your schedule has been given to the Director.
Additional fees may be required for special requests that may cost the center more to accommodate each family such as a one to one aid. Additional fees will be decided upon the request and agreed upon at that time by the director.
Families that are receiving assistance by a subsidized program for their child's tuition may have a co-payment for any fee's that exceed any programs rates. You will be responsible for those fees and any additional time that exceeds the contacted rates and times for your agency. This will be discussed upon enrollment. Our child care center reserves the right to dismiss or expel the above named student if & when at the center's sole discretion if it is determined that our child care center cannot meet the needs of a child or should the terms of this agreement be violated and all fees not paid should be paid as agreed.

Disciplinary Regulations points to Remember!!!!
(*) Effective discipline helps children learn self-control and cooperation.
(*) Reward and punishment are not the only effective methods of discipline. Children also learn through example.
(*) To select appropriate methods, it is important to consider a child's development level.
(*) Effective methods of discipline are:
(*) Distracting the child
(*) Ignoring misbehavior when appropriate
(*) Structuring the child's environment
(*) Controlling the situation, not the child
(*) Planning time for loving and letting go
(*) Increasing your consistency
(*) Noticing positive behavior
(*) Using the time out method (the step, playpen, separation, and quiet time).
(*) Using natural and logical consequences by giving children choices. Natural consequences result by going against the laws of nature. Logical consequences are the result of going against the rules of social cooperation.
(*) Logical Consequences...
(*) Express the rules of social living
(*) Are related to the misbehavior
(*) Separate the deed from the doer
(*) Are concerned with what will happen now, not with past behavior
(*) Are given in a friendly way.
(*) Permit choice
(*) Guidelines for Using Logical Consequences:
(*) When a child makes a decision, let the decision stand for the moment, later, give the child another opportunity to cooperate.
(*) Increase the amount of time for the consequences each time the same misbehavior occurs.
(*) When you give a child a choice, phrase the choice respectfully (respect the child's choice).
(*) Say as little as possible and avoid nagging or threatening.
(*) Make it clear when there is no choice.
(*) Keep hostility out of the consequences.
(*) Spending some quality time everyday with a child is good for your and our relationship and can help prevent behavior problems.
(*) Too much protection, permissiveness, or demands for obedience will prevent children from becoming independent.
(*) A time out is a form of logical consequences. We will use it as a last resort when other methods have not worked. We will use it and all guidelines above in order to keep control and maintain a safe environment for all of our children.
