REGISTRATION AND TUITION INFORMATION
Registration is an annual fee. It is first due at time of enrollment and each year thereafter during the re-enrollment period. The registration fee is non-refundable. Registration fee includes: records, insurance and supplies. All tuition is paid through Smart Tuition for automatic deduction from a credit card or bank account. This is a secure, convenient and reliable way to pay tuition and registration fees. We offer annual, bi-annual or 10 month payment plans for students enrolling BEFORE the school year begins. Payments are set up for deduction on the 1st or 15th of each month. Please inquire in the school office for more information. The monthly tuition fee is the same regardless of how many days or weeks are in the month. The monthly tuition fee is the same regardless of sick days, vacation days or holidays. Mid-month enrollment will be pro-rated for new families only.
ADDITIONAL FEES While it is never our desire to have to charge fees, occasionally there is a need. Please understand the following reasons, as they pertain to our staffing and state licensing regulations: A fine of $1 per minute per child for late pick-up after 6:00pm will be assessed. A fine of $5 will be assessed each time a parent or guardian does not use their full name and legal signature when signing in and out their child. Both must be used at every sign-in and sign out occurrence, per state regulations. A fine of $1 will be assessed for each occurrence of the preschool having to provide a blanket and a sheet for a napping child. State regulations require that each child have their own blanket and sheet to lie on for rest time. Parents/Guardians are to provide a freshly washed set each Monday for 5-day and 3-day children, and on Tuesday for 2-day children.
PROGRAM CHANGES AND WITHDRAWAL POLICY Changes of program are allowed under certain circumstances and are considered and approved/denied by the Directors. If space is available, the school may allow a program change: A child enrolls for a full school year. If he/she must be withdrawn for a valid reason, we require a two-week written notice*. Parents are obligated to pay tuition charges for the remainder of that current month. Any tuition refunds will be at the discretion of the Directors, Principal and/or the Board of School Ministries.
Because our program and licensing requirements require us to staff based upon the number of children enrolled, tuition dollars will not be refunded for holidays, illnesses, vacations or any other absences. *The option of withdrawal with two weeks’ notice is not allowed after April 1 st. If a student is withdrawn after April 1st, the parent is nonetheless obligated to pay the tuition for the remainder of the school year.

H. I. J. K. L.
Our school is open to all who desire a Christian preschool education for their children. Christ Lutheran School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded to students at the school. There is no discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic or other school-administered programs. Every student admitted into Christ Lutheran Preschool is given an adjustment/grace period. All enrollments are on a conditional basis dependent upon: a. the child’s conduct b. the child’s willingness to learn/work/share c. parental cooperation d. fully potty-trained If at any point during the school year we observe and document dangerous or A-typical developmental progress, it will be brought to the parents’ attention. This also applies to children having continuous “potty” accidents. Depending on the situation, we may recommend additional resources or direct families to the appropriate resources/programs within our community. Christ Lutheran Preschool reserves the right to deny re-enrollment or remove students from the school if we are unable to help provide the appropriate services needed, or if the particular behavior continues. Children must be at least 3 years old by September 1 st, through 5 years old, and fully potty trained. Children are placed into classes with their peers based primarily upon their birthdate and secondarily upon their developmental and academic level. Class sizes are limited by teacher to child ratio (1:12 or better) and the square footage of our facility. Changes of a child from one preschool class to another will only be allowed with the approval of the co-directors. If the child shares time between two homes, Christ Lutheran Preschool will require registration information from both parties, based on each individual situation and referring to court ordered documents. We require a copy of custody agreements to be kept in your child’s file at all times. Christ Lutheran Preschool will enforce or follow the visitation or child custody agreement that is produced by the court system. This will include calling the custodial parent in the event of an illness or non-emergency. When an emergency situation arises with the child or if there is a behavioral issue, both parties will be notified. For the most successful school experience, all pre-kindergarten and junior kindergarten students will undergo a two week observation period to assess their readiness. This is to ensure the children are placed in the proper classrooms for their optimal learning experiences. Based on the two week trial and assessment period, children may or may not be able to continue in a specific class. A conference with the parents/guardians will be required where the proper placement will be discussed. Christ Lutheran reserves the right to stop the application process, deny applications if the school/classrooms are at capacity, or refuse admission/service to a student if the school deems that Christ Lutheran Preschool is not the best fit for the child. All applications pertain to one school year/full term and are to be renewed annually. School enrollment does not cover holiday breaks or summer. (Traditionally our school year runs from late August through mid-June.) When registration for enrollment for the next school year begins, priority is given to children of staff members, returning students, siblings of current students and church members for a short period before registration of new students. Registration will not be accepted for any family whose account is not current. The child’s birth certificate and age appropriate immunization record must be presented at the time of enrollment. Completion of state forms and information is required before children begin school.
PRESCHOOL ADMISSION PROCEDURE A. B. C. D.
A meeting and tour with the Preschool Directors is required before any enrollment will be approved. Understanding of all policies of Christ Lutheran Preschool is required before any enrollment is approved. A full understanding of all state required forms and school paperwork that we provide. Health records required to keep on file at the school at all times: 1. Physician’s Report – Child Care Centers (LIC #701) 2. Immunization Report from child’s physician including age appropriate immunizations (ages 0-5). The State of California requires all students to be immunized prior to school entrance. All immunizations must be complete and up to date before entering preschool. Because of a new vaccination law, (SB277) that went into effect in January of 2016, the preschool can no longer accept immunization exemptions based upon personal beliefs. The state of California requires the following vaccinations be given in order for a child to start preschool: a) 4 DTaP b) 3 Polio c) 3 Hepatitis B d) 1 MMR (on or after the first birthday) e) 1 Hib (on or after the first birthday) f) 1 Varicella (or documentation from physician that child has had chickenpox). g) Mantoux tuberculosis (TB) skin test (within the last six months if new student), or report from child’s doctor indicating that no risk-factors are present.

Please note: Files must be kept up-to-date. When you move or change a phone number, you must let the school office know immediately so we can update your child’s file.
