Tuition and Fees

The Parent/Guardian agrees to pay tuition and fees as outlined in the fee schedule provided upon enrollment. Tuition is due weekly/monthly (as agreed), with late fees applied for payments overdue by 5 days.

For details, contact us at 985-710-5145.

Health Requirements

The Parent/Guardian must provide up-to-date health records, including immunization records, prior to enrollment. Children must not attend if they are ill (e.g., fever, cough, vomiting), and parents must arrange pick-up within one hour if a child becomes ill during the day. We follow state guidelines for communicable diseases, including reporting requirements, as mandated by the LDOE.

Emergency Procedures

In case of an emergency, parents will be notified immediately via phone or email. The Parent/Guardian must keep emergency contact information current and provide consent for emergency medical treatment if needed. We conduct regular fire drills and maintain emergency evacuation plans for each location.

Child Safety

We maintain appropriate staff-to-child ratios, with a maximum of 35 children per class (except for activity classes), per LDOE standards (Bulletin 741, §707). Staff are trained in mandatory reporting of child abuse or neglect, and any concerns are reported immediately to the appropriate authorities.

Communication

The Parent/Guardian agrees to maintain open communication with the center, including notifying us of any changes in contact information, health concerns, or scheduling needs. Parents are encouraged to attend conferences and events to stay engaged in their child’s experience.

Compliance with Policies

The Parent/Guardian agrees to comply with all policies outlined in the Parent Handbook, including those related to health, safety, and payment. Failure to comply may result in termination of services, with written notice provided.

Transportation

If the Parent/Guardian opts for daily transportation, written consent is required via the Daily Transportation Authorization Form. The Parent/Guardian must provide pick-up/drop-off locations, schedules, and emergency contact information. Vehicles meet state safety requirements, including seat belts and child safety seats where applicable.

Field Trips

The Parent/Guardian must provide written consent for each field trip via the Field Trip Authorization Form, including emergency contact information and medical consent. Staff-to-child ratios are maintained during field trips, and safety protocols are strictly followed.

Termination by Provider

The Provider reserves the right to terminate services for non-payment, non-compliance with policies, or if the child’s needs cannot be met by our program. Termination will be provided in writing with a 30-day notice, except in cases of immediate safety concerns.

Withdrawal by Parent

The Parent/Guardian may withdraw their child with a 30-day written notice. Tuition is non-refunded for the notice period, and a processing fee may apply. Records will be provided upon request, in compliance with LDOE requirements (Bulletin 741, §505).
