Mara's Memos
Now is the time to decide about enrollment for next school year. Registration is almost over for our A Beka classes (Threes and Fours) for next school year. You can come to the office and pay your NONREFUNDABLE/NONTRANSFERABLE book fee to hold your slot. The current book fee is $60 for threes and $80 for the fours. Prices could go up at any time if A Beka raises their prices. If you do not pay the book fee, we can’t guarantee you a spot come August 4th.

Registration will be opened to the public this month and our remaining spots usually go quickly. If your child is currently in the Butterflies or Lions class, please let us know ASAP when your child’s last day will be. It must be no later than July 31st. We are closed August 1st for a teacher workday. We will not have room for them once our new school year begins August 4th.

All other classes: we will assume you will be here next school year and save a spot for your child unless you tell us differently.

Please let us know at least two weeks in advance and in writing if your child will be leaving us. We have a short form you can fill out in the office or you can email us. If you paid the book fee for next school year and want to take the summer off, please let us know in advance if you are utilizing this option. Please know that your child can not return until Aug 4th if you remove them for the summer. This option is only available for those entering our Threes and Fours next school year.

Things to Remember

  • Make sure you have a complete change of summer clothes, including socks, in your child’s cubby. Keep a light jacket/sweatshirt in the cubby year round. Sneakers recommended.
  • No drop off during nap time or after 10 am.
  • Tuition is due on Mondays. A $3.50 late fee will be added at noon starting on Wednesdays.
  • The credit card swipe fee is $2.50 every swipe.
  • Please send in a labeled water bottle every morning. We go outside every day.
