Registration Fee An initial registration fee of $100 per child is required at
the time a registration form is submitted. An annual re-registration fee of
$100 per child is due by June 1 to secure the child’s place for the following
September. Registration fees for the Children’s Center and Preschool are non-
refundable and are limited to a maximum of $200 per family per year.
Deposit If Circle of Friends is able to accommodate your child, you will
receive a Letter of Acceptance. A tuition deposit in the amount of the child’s
monthly tuition is due within 15 days of receipt of the Letter of Acceptance or
prior to the child’s first day, whichever comes first. This deposit will hold the
child’s place in the program. The deposit less any outstanding charges will be
returned following the child’s departure from school, assuming conditions for
return of deposit are met (see Withdrawal). The tuition deposit is forfeited if
the child does not start the program for which they are registered.
Delay of Enrollment If a child does not start at the Center on the starting
date specified on the registration form, the full tuition is assessed from this
date in order to hold the child’s place. Full tuition is also due in the case
where a parent chooses to start with a reduced schedule.
Sibling Discount A sibling discount of 10% is applied to the least expensive
regular tuition charge. Sibling discounts do not apply to additional hours or
special programs.
Additional Hours Space permitting, temporary additional hours can be
arranged by contacting the Children’s Center Coordinator. Charges, assessed
in half-hour increments at a rate of $10.50 per hour for infants and $9.50
per hour for toddlers, are due on the day of service.
Change of Program Space permitting, changes in a child’s regular schedule
may be made by completing a Change of Program form. Tuition rates are
adjusted with one month’s notice. Once a change of program is made, Circle
of Friends cannot guarantee that the original schedule will continue to be
available.
Holidays Holidays are taken into account when setting the yearly tuition.
Tuition for those months containing holidays is charged at the regular rate
and is not reduced. The Children’s Center will be closed on the following days

credit or refunds are not given for illness or other absences.
Emergency Conditions On occasion, severe inclement weather or a building
emergency may require the Children’s Center to close due to safety concerns.
Full tuition is due for months in which emergency conditions require the
Center to close.
Late Pick-up Fee Unless a Change of Registration form is submitted, or
arrangements for temporary additional hours have been made, parents will be
expected to drop-off and pick-up children at the time specified on their
registration form. If a parent is late in picking up a child a late charge of
$1.00 per minute late after the first 5 minutes will be charged to their
account.
Late Payment and Returned Check Fees Monthly tuition payments are
due on or before the first day of the month in advance of service. A late
payment fee of $20.00 will be assessed for each month in which the payment
is more than 10 days overdue. A fee of $20.00 will apply for returned checks.
For more detailed information on late payment procedures, please refer to
the Parent Handbook.
Withdrawal Notification of withdrawal must be in writing and received at
least 1 month prior to a child’s withdrawal from the program. Withdrawal will

not be prorated for withdrawal midmonth). If these conditions are met, the
