Welcome to The Edge Preschools! Our Policies and Procedures are designed to ensure the safety, well-being, and positive learning experience of every child in our care. Please take a moment to review the following guidelines:
Fees are to be paid in advance not later than Monday of each week. If there will be a third party payment, as from an employer or the county, a special payment schedule will be arranged and detailed in the contract. Parents will be responsible for any specified co-payments or unpaid amounts.
The Edge Preschools charges an annual registration /enrollment fee. The registration / enrollment fee must be paid with the first tuition payment and at child’s enrollment anniversary.
We will establish a regular rate based on your child’s hours of enrollment. Additional fees will be assessed for additional hours if care is part-time or hours exceed 48 hours per week.
A full-time rate is offered for children who will be in care for 4 hours or more, 4 days per week.
An hourly rate is charged if children will attend fewer than 4 hours each day, or fewer than 20 hours per week.
There will be an extra fee assessed for late payment or late pick up of a child.
Rates are higher for children under 1 year of age than for older children.
No refunds will be given for days when children do not attend due to short illness or other reasons.
The Parents will:
Fees are to be paid in advance (or child’s last enrolled day each week) for the following week’s services. There will be a$30.00 late fee if tuition is not received by Monday (end of business) If a portion of the tuition will be paid by a third party, such as an employer or the county, that payment will be accepted on a separately arranged schedule, described in the contract.
If your child will not attend on a regularly scheduled day please let us know by 9:00AM or within 30 minutes of your child’s scheduled arrival time. If a child who is scheduled to arrive at the center does not arrive within 60 minutes of the specified time on the written agreement signed by the parent, and we have not been notified of the child’s impending absence, we will attempt to contact the parent or guardian to determine the child’s whereabouts.
Drop off after 10:00am is not permitted unless for medical appointments, and you are required to provide a doctor’s excuse for the student to return to school.
We will not transport children who attend school at The Edge Preschools to and from the center in the morning and after school.
All children enrolled at the Center must be escorted to and from the facility by an adult.
After a child has been enrolled for 12 months, we will allow 5 days off per year (NOT for part-time enrollments) with no fee required. These days may be used for sick or vacation time. After these 5 days are used, we will require full payment for any other absences, for the rest of that year.
The Edge Preschools students from Pre K-3 through 2nd grade will be required to wear a uniform Monday through Friday. Boys are required to wear slacks or shorts and they must be solid khaki, black, or navy, well fitting (not tight or baggy), and modest in length. Girls are also required to wear solid khaki, black, or navy well fitting (not tight or baggy), and modest in length slacks, shorts, skirts, skorts or jumpers with a uniform top. All uniform tops must have The Edge Preschools stitched logo. On Chapel days a specific uniform top color and slacks will be required (Additional handouts will be given out regarding Chapel day uniform information).
Slacks, shorts, skirts and skorts may be purchased at any manufacturer you prefer as long as they meet the above requirements. On casual days or to school functions students should dress modestly.
We will follow USDA guidelines when planning our menus. No child will go without nourishment for longer than 3 hours. I will offer the following meals and snacks to all children in attendance at the times identified in the daily schedule. : Breakfast, A.M. snack (2 and under), Lunch, P.M. snack
Parents providing their own children’s meals and snacks will be informed in writing of the USDA nutritional requirements. Weekly records of meals and snacks are available for your review. School-aged children will be offered breakfast before they are dropped off at school, and afternoon snack upon arrival from school. Children younger than 12 months must be served formula or breast milk unless written direction is on file from the child’s health care professional. All bottles and commercial baby food must be labeled with your child’s first and last name and date.
