Admission

Parents wishing to enroll their child at Place of Grace Early Learning Center will fill out all necessary forms as determined by Child Care Licensing Regulations, Place of Grace enrollment form, and submit a $50 one time, non-refundable registration fee for Monday through Friday care and $25 for before/after school care and special event days. If a parent has children enrolled in the center for Monday through Friday care then the $25 registration fee for before/after school care and/or special event days is waived.. Once a space becomes available a meeting will take place between the parent and the director, assistant director, and/or financial director. During this meeting additional paperwork, including a 9, 10, or 12 month contract, will be filled out, a copy of the handbook will be given to the parent, various documents will be required from the parent such as copy of birth certificate, immunization record, goals for the child, allergies, drop off/pick up form, emergency form, any special family considerations, any special considerations for the child, special dietary needs, confidentiality statement, rules of center will be presented to the parent, and a copy of any custody papers. A parent will be given a tour of the center and will meet the child's teacher.

Parent must provide Place of Grace a copy of the child's immunization records and physical form within thirty (30) days of being admitted into the program. Failure to provide documents will result in child being removed from the program until documents can be provided. If documents are not presented within one (1) week after removal from program the child's spot will be filled with another applicant. Parent will be responsible for any and all fees incurred until the child was removed from the center for failure to present documents.

If the child is between the ages of six (6) weeks and three (3) months, parents must provide a signed statement from the child's doctor signifying the child is able to re-enter group care.

The center will also provide to the parent information regarding the center's insurance coverage and pest management control arrangement.

Promotion of Children to Next Class

Children will be promoted to the next class based on child's age. When a child's birthday occurs, provided there is room in the class above where the child current is enrolled, the child will be moved up. There will be no exceptions.

Drop Off Prior to Breakfast/After Breakfast

Children will be fed breakfast according to their class' scheduled time in the multi-purpose room. The child may finish eating food brought into the center that was given during transport or prior to leaving home. However, food must be finished within 5 minutes after arrival at center.

If a child arrives after all breakfasts have been served to all classes, the child will not be served a meal until lunch. Therefore, parents need to make sure their child is fed prior to entering the center if they are dropping them off after breakfast time has ended.
