REGISTRATION FEE
A $40.00 NON-REFUNDABLE REGISTRATION FEE IS DUE UPON REGISTRATION
FOR EACH CHILD. (Payment of registration fee is not a guarantee of placement.)

DEPOSIT
Two weeks' deposit is DUE AT THE TIME OF PLACEMENT NOTIFICATION in order to guarantee enrollment. The deposit will be applied toward the last weeks' attendance prior to withdrawal, provided all termination notices/procedures have been met, as agreed, and all tuition and late charges/other fees are paid in full.

FAMILY DISCOUNT
The Children's Ark at St. George's offers a 5% ANNUAL DISCOUNT for the oldest sibling in the same family enrolled FULL TIME ONLY, simultaneously.

TUITION PAYMENT PLANS
Two payment plans are offered. For parents who elect to pay on a semi-monthly basis, payment
is to be placed in the TUITION BOX (located across from the reception desk) BEFORE the 1st
and 15th of each month. Parents may elect a monthly payment plan due no later than the
LAST DAY OF THE MONTH for the following month.

Each check or money order must be annotated with the name of the child and the period
of service covered by the tuition. All payments must be placed in the tuition box.
DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS IN LUNCH BOXES OR DIAPER BAGS.

Please note that those paying on a monthly basis will save $120/year due to a decrease in bookkeeping costs.

LATE PICK-UP
The Children's Ark is open 52 weeks a year, Monday-Friday from 6:30 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. If a
parent is unable to arrive by 6:00 P.M., the parent should notify staff as soon as possible, so arrangements can be made for someone to stay with your child. There will be a charge of $5.00
for the first quarter hour after 6:00 P.M. Thereafter, there will be a $10.00, $15.00 and $25.00 charge
for each subsequent quarter of an hour or portion thereof per child. This amount must be
PAID DIRECTLY to the staff member who stayed to care for your child. The teacher is not being
paid for this overtime period by The Children's Ark.
