A $15 registration fee per child will be due at the time of enrollment.  This will go towards your child/ren Genesis Childcare Academy t-shirt.

REQUIRED ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

Prior to starting both child/ren and parent must come in for a face-to-face interview.  At that time, we will go over policies and procedures and the enrollment packet.  Prior to the first day of starting, all necessary forms must be filled out completely.  The packet includes but not limited to ODJFS enrollment form, health information, and medical statement (completed by your child’s doctor), as well as the child/ren shot record.

DISENROLLMENT

If the situation occurs when a child must be disenrolled, the parent/guardian will be notified of the situation and given the reason of the decision.  Example of disenrollment; the child consistently puts themselves or others in dangerous or harmful situations, behaviors that are uncontrollable or disrespectful.  We reserve the right to disenroll a child at any time. Dis-enrollment notice will be given at that time.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE

Weekly payments are due no later than Monday by 10:00 a.m. of the week service is needed.   A late fee will apply, if the payment that is due is paid after the time and day stated above.  If not paid, the child/ren will not be permitted to return until the payment is paid in full.  In the event of illness, full-time payment is expected except for an extended illness (5 consecutive days).  Half payment is required to maintain the child/ren space.  A $50.00 fee will be charged for any returned checks.
