ABSENCES
Because the tuition contract is made by the parents to guarantee a place in the school for their child, and is the basis for providing personnel to staff the school, no reduction of tuition for any absences due to illness or vacations can be given. In case of an extended illness (hospitalization), a conference with the Director should be arranged.
VACATION BENEFIT FOR LONG TERM STUDENTS
Once a full-time child has completed 12 full months of continuous enrollment, a family will be given upon request a 1 week tuition credit for vacation.
NAP KITS FOR FULL-DAY STUDENTS
All full-day students must purchase a Nap Kit consisting of a pillow, blanket, and bag from Centerpointe Christian Preschool for $30.00 prior to the first day of class.
WITHDRAWAL/REFUND POLICY
Official withdrawal must be made by completing a withdrawal form in the school office two weeks before the date of withdrawal. If a student withdraws from the 1st to the 15th of the month a one-half month refund of that month’s tuition will be given. No refunds will be given if a student withdraws from the 16th to the 31stof that month. One-half month’s tuition will be charged in addition to the above if two-week notice is not given when a student withdraws. Registration and Supply Fees are non-refundable. No exceptions will be made. If your child has withdrawn from Centerpointe Christian Preschool and you wish to re-register them at a later date, an additional registration fee will be required.

DISMISSAL
In order to ensure a proper fit with the school, each child is accepted into the program on a trial basis for the first ten days of his/her attendance. During this time, should it become evident to the preschool staff that the child should not continue in the program, the child can be dismissed without prior notice and any unused prepaid fees will be refunded within 48 hours. In cases involving dismissal after the ten day period, the school will give at least one-week notice and will refund any unused prepaid fees within 48 hours. A child may be dismissed from the program if it is determined that they no longer benefit from attendance due to:
a. Child’s inability to separate from parent and it is agreed by parent and school that the child is not yet ready for a school setting;
b. Child is unable to control aggressive actions to other children or staff personnel;
c. All children must be able, at appropriate age level, to reasonably manage and control all body fluids (i.e., urine, bowel movements, runny nose, etc.);
d. Parent or guardian has not cooperated with the Preschool regarding the child’s discipline needs;
e. Parent or guardian has not paid the agreed upon fee or has been late paying the fee more than twice in a six month period.
f. Repeated late pick-up after 6:00 pm may result in dismissal.
