Preschool Admission & Registration:

Steps to Admission

1. The parent will have a tour with the Director.  This will help the parent become acquainted with our staff, facilities, and programs.
2. An Enrollment Packet and physical examination form will be given to the parent after the tour.  These forms must be completed and returned before the child may enter the program.
3. Yucaipa Christian Preschool follows the Yucaipa School District schedule and runs from August to June, with our summer program from June to August.  

Registration fees are due yearly for our August–June program. Only one fee will be charged for all programs used during the school year.  However, there is also a separate registration fee due for our summer programs.

**ALL REGISTRATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE**

GENERAL ADMISSION AND ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENT:

Enrollment is open to all preschool age children of the community who are 2 years- 6 months and potty trained by the first day of attendance.

Prior to the first day of attendance, the parents must meet with the Director and must have all forms completed and turned in. Registration and the first month’s tuition fees must be paid in advance. Registration (non-refundable) and curriculum fees are subject to yearly renewal and must be kept current. These fees are payable each July or upon being admitted to the school, if mid-year.                                                     

If, at any time after enrollment, we find the child is not benefiting from our program, or is not succeeding in the classroom setting, an alternative may be suggested by us for any of the following reasons:

• Child is not adjusting to school after reasonable time.
• Child hasn’t mastered toilet and bathroom skills.
• Parents not following school policies as written in this handbook.
• Lack of payment of tuition.

TUITION POLICIES:
Yucaipa Christian Preschool is a non-profit organization operating entirely upon tuition payments. Donations are accepted and are tax-deductible.

Tuition and extended care fees are based on an annual fee for September 1st through June 9th school days (approx. 182) and then divided into 10 equal monthly payments which begin in August and continue through May. Credit is not given for non-school days in the month. Monthly fees are listed on the preschool Tuition and Policies Agreement. If annual fees are paid in advance in August, you will receive a 5% discount. Family discounts provide 10% off each additional child’s tuition.

FEES

 A: Up front fees

• Registration Fee: A non-refundable registration fee of $130 per student is due at the time the application is submitted to the office.  This fee includes application processing, any development testing, cumulative folder set up, licensing reports, liability insurance, and other administrative overhead costs.
• Curriculum Fee:  This is an $80 fee for all preschool students, which covers all curriculum materials and supplies needed for our preschool programs.  This fee is non-refundable once school begins. 

B:  Tuition Fees
Please refer to the preschool fees handout for our current tuition fee schedule.

• Tuition payments may be paid in full at the beginning of the academic year to receive a 5% discount. This payment must be made in the preschool office and the deadline is August 1.
• Tuition payments are to be paid in 10 equal installments (August thru May) on or before your scheduled due date (15th).
• If tuition payments cannot be made by your scheduled due date, then the established policy is to allow a ten day grace period before any penalty is assessed.
• If payment is not made after the ten day grace period, a late fee of $20 will be assessed, no exceptions.
• Students whose accounts fall more than 45 day behind may be denied services and continued enrollment until their account is paid in full or other arrangements have been made. 
• If tuition payments are not paid in full by the beginning of the next session, the student(s) will not be allowed to re-enroll.  (This includes being current before the summer session starts)
• If a student adds or drops during the school year, tuition will be due on a pro-rated basis reflecting the date on which the enrollment or withdrawal took place.
• Extra time:  A charge of $4.00 per hour will be applied to any student who stays past their scheduled time.  Any student staying past closing, 6 PM will be charged $1.00 per minute.
• No tuition allowance shall be made for absence of any child.  The state regulates class sizes, so make-up days are not possible because it can put us over our proper student/teacher ratios.
• No tuition allowance shall be made for holidays falling within a given month.  These days are taken into consideration at the time prices are set.
