Open enrollment will begin February 1, 2012, at which point all incoming applications will be considererd until classes are full. Classes are filled on a first come-first serve basis.

Fees: A non-refundable Registration Fee of $100 per child, along with a non-refundable pre-payment of the last month’s tuition (May 2012) is due at the time of registration for preschool.

Procedures

The following steps are necessary in order to complete the enrollment of your child at First Lutheran Preschool. Spaces will be filled based on completion of the following listed below. As soon as possible, complete and return:
  • the Application for Enrollment
  • a check for the non-refundable registration fee; and
  • a check for the non-refundable pre-payment of the last month’s tuition
When the director receives your enrollment application and fees, a spot will be saved for your child. Complete and return all required forms prior to September 1, 2012 to guarantee your child’s placement:

Discounts: Members of First Lutheran Church receive a 10% discount and are not eligible for other discounts. Parents must be active members of First Lutheran Church to qualify for this discount.

Families with more than one child attending receive a sibling discount of 10% off of the second child's tuition.

Those families who wish to pay for a full year's tuition (9 months) by September 1st receive a 5% discount.

Scholarships: First Lutheran Preschool will reserve space for children of families in need of financial assistance. Please contact the Director to learn about eligibility requirements and the scholarship rates available. All scholarships are partial scholarships.

Termination of Enrollment: We assume that when a child is registered, it is for the entire school year. If withdrawal becomes necessary, a one month notice should be given to the Director in writing. No refunds are given in case of withdrawal, unless the school year has been paid in full, in which case the school will refund the tuition paid with the exception of the non-refundable May pre-payment. Any month or part of a month in which the child has attended is not eligible for a refund.

Discharge Policy: First Lutheran Preschool reserves the right to drop or terminate service after consultations with parents/guardians, when the welfare of the child or group would make this advisable. Reasons for termination may include but not be limited to:

  • Lack of parental cooperation
  • Non-payment of fees
  • Inability of the child to adjust to the school
  • Continual late pick up
  • Inability to meet the needs of the child without hiring additional staff.
