Admissions: Terms of Admission TERMS OF ADMISSION 1) Children are
admitted for the full academic year (September–June) and
tuition is not subject to adjustment because of absences, vacations,
holidays, illness, etc. 2) Children are
required to be in attendance from 8:30 a.m.–3 p.m. (full-day
program) or 8:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (half-day program). 3) Montessori is
a non-graded, self-achievement form of education which necessitates
an uninterrupted, orderly presentation of the materials with
consequent activity on the part of the child, at his own rate
of understanding and performance. Outside pressures such as excessive
TV, computer games, and late bedtime which interrupt this program
will leave the child at a disadvantage in terms of understanding
and level of achievement. 4) Transportation
to and from the Center is the responsibility of the parents/guardians.
The Center will not be responsible for any arrangements the parents/guardians
make in regard to the transportation of the child, other than
information.. The Center will release children only to authorized
adults designated on the emergency/information forms. 5) The Montessori
Children's Center reserves the right to accept or reject any
application, and also to request the withdrawal of any child,
if in the opinion of the Directress and the Administration, this
action is to the benefit of the class as a whole. 6) The Center takes
no responsibility for the loss of personal apparel, hats, footwear,
lunchboxes, backpacks, etc. Parents are requested not to permit
children to bring unnecessary hats, toys, playthings,
jewelry, or junk food, candy, or gum to the Center. Nutritious
snacks and organic milk will be provided. 7) The Montessori
Children's Center reserves the right to make such rules and regulations
in the operation of the Center as it deems appropriate for the
health and safety of the children, and it is a condition of attendance
that these rules and regulations be observed. The Center will
adhere to and follow all regulations and licensing requirements
of the State of California. The California Department of Social
Services (Licensing Agency) may visit the premises at any time,
with or without notice. 8) The safety and
welfare of your child will, of course, be of the utmost importance
to the Center, and we shall make every endeavor to take the greatest
care of him or her. Nevertheless, the Center cannot assume responsibility
for your child beyond that which would be expected of a reasonable
parent. 9) Submission of
the application form does not guarantee admission of your
child. If your child is accepted, the deposit is non-refundable. 10) The Enrollment
Deposit will be applied only to the June tuition of the child's
final term at the Center unless the child meets Early Withdrawal
conditions/status (see Fee Schedule for
details). 11) Early withdrawal:
If withdrawal is after February, there will be no application
of the Enrollment Deposit for tuition fees. 12) All withdrawals
require a 30-day written notice. I/We have read
and understand the terms and policies stated above and understand
that they will not be waived. Center __________________________ Date _____________________ |
