Full Year Plan
This application involves a commitment to the following:
- Your child attending preschool for the full year: September 1, 2026 to May 13th, 2027. There may be alterations to the schedule as the year progresses, they will be communicated to parents in the monthly newsletter. Please let me know if your child will be late or absent for any reason so we can adapt the class plans as needed. There will be no refunds or make up days for classes missed by the student.
- Monthly payments to the preschool for the chosen class, paid via cash or venmo (@discoverydenpreschool). Payments are not altered for weeks with less/more preschool days, they are simply an annual fee broken down into 9 monthly payments. These payments are due by the 5th of each month, after which a $5 per day late fee will apply. The $100 supply fee will be due by June 1 prior to the start of school. This will allow us to prepare the space for the incoming children.
