Our Families

We appreciate you taking the time to look over our new web site. We feel that an important part of us caring for your child is for you to know what our expectations are of you and what you can expect from us as your child’s caregivers.

On this page you will be able to find health information, our parent hand book, as well as registration information with the times and cost for all of our class rooms for daycare and preschool.

A Parent’s Prayer:

Lord, may the beauty of Your spirit be so evident in me that I will be a godly role model for my child. Give me the communication, teaching and nurturing skills that I must have.

Grow me into being the kind of parent You want me to be and teach me how to pray and truly intercede for my child’s life. You said in Your Word, Whatever things you ask in prayer, believing you will receive. (Matthew 21:22).

In Jesus’ name I ask that You will increase my faith to believe for all the things you have put on my heart to pray for concerning my sweet child.

The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.
Proverbs 20:7

1Say “Boo!” to the Flu
Most cold and flu viruses are spread by direct contact. Someone who has the flu sneezes onto their hand, and then touches the telephone, the keyboard, a kitchen glass. The germs can live for hours -- in some cases weeks -- only to be picked up by the next person who touches the same object. So wash your hands often. If no sink is available, rub your hands together very hard for a minute or so... Read More.

Registration Times and Costs
The school is open from 7:30am – 5:30pm. Our enrollment policy is designed in a way that is most flexible to the unpredictable schedules of a family. It is our desire to promote the family unit. To do this effectively we have designed enrollment in a way which will allow you to spend the most time available with your child while not being penalized for your absences or early departures for special time with the family. Keeping this in mind we have set up the following fee schedule and payment policies.

An annual registration fee of $40.00 is payable when you enroll your child. You will receive a 25% discount on each child thereafter.
Full daycare; meaning anything six hours or over per day is $30.00 per day or $145 for a full week. You will receive a discount of 25% on your second child attending.
Preschool session; meaning between the hours of 9:00-11:30am, is $15 per day. You will receive a discount of 25% for your second child attending.
There is a late fee of $1.00 per child for every minute that you are late picking up your child. This applies only to the daycare kids being picked up after 5:30pm.

In the event of an absence or early departure, your account will be credited as follows: full day absences - $15.00 per day, pre-school only absences - $7.50 per session missed, early departures - $1.00 per hour. For these incentives to work, you must notify us as soon as possible so that adjustments can be made to your account.
We encourage family vacations. So therefore, our Daycare families that are scheduled for at least three days or more per week are eligible for two weeks (10 days) vacation annually. We ask that you notify us as soon as plans arise so we may adjust to your account and the classroom schedule. These vacation days run from the calendar of when your child begins attendance.

Payment will be accepted weekly, biweekly or monthly. We ask that you stay consistent to the schedule you set up with us. Fees are due at the beginning of the session. If you have a credit from the previous week, please feel free to take it out of the next week’s tuition if you are sure of the amount. If you are unsure, please contact Mrs. Corrie or Mrs. Crystle. We accept Cash, Checks, Money Orders, Cashier’s Checks, Visa & MasterCard.
If your child stays overtime during the day and we have been notified of the additional time the fee is $5.50 per hour. For example: if your child goes to preschool and on a certain day needs to stay for lunch, you will be charged for the preschool session plus $5.50 per hour for the extra time. You may either pay that amount at the time of pick up or in the next week’s tuition. Drop-In Care is available on a space opening basis only. The fee for drop-in care is the same as the discussed previously. No registration fee will be charged for drop-in care until the third visit. However, drop-in children require the same paperwork as all the other children enrolled.
