About Us - Discharge
Discharge
Students may be discharged for any of the following reasons:
- Parents desire to withdraw the child.
- Inability of the Place of Grace staff to appropriately meet the needs of the child.
- Failure of the parents to remit charges on a past due account. Accounts become past due and begin to accrue late charges on the Tuesday after tuition is due. Place of Grace can at any time discharge a student with a past due account.
- Behavior issues that have been addressed with the parent and all attempts by staff and director to correct the behaviors have been exhausted. All attempts will be made to work with parent and child prior to discharging a child from care.
- Egregious behavior that could cause harm or immediate danger to another child or staff member. This includes examples such as starting a fire, bringing a firearm or knife to the center, stabbing or shooting another child or staff member, beginning fights – especially those that result in first aide needing to be administered, any action resulting in the death of another child or staff member, touching another child or attempting to touch a staff member in an inappropriate manner.
- Theft of items from center or other children exceeding $50.00 or breaking and entering the center after hours.
Remove of Child From Program/Breaking of Contract
When a child is admitted into the program a contract will be signed by the parent and administration. If the parent wishes to remove their child from the program for any reason, a two (2) week notice in writing must be given to administration. The parent will be financially responsible for a total of 2 weeks of tuition. If a child is discharged from the program on behalf of Place of Grace Early Learning Center due to any of the reasons mentioned in the section on discharge, the parents will only be responsible for the fees incurred up until the time of discharge. Place of Grace Early Learning Center will give the parent a two week notice when possible; however, if there is a safety concern the child may be discharged immediately. Failure to pay could result in legal actions being taken against the parent. |
