ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ADDITIONAL FEES: ADG charges a one-time non-refundable REGISTRATION FEE of $65.00 per child, payable upon commitment to our program.  Please understand that enrollment is based upon a first come/first served basis with no exceptions.  Your registration fee holds your spot for a 90 day period.  If, at the conclusion of that 90 day period, you still anticipate needing care, but are not ready to enroll your child (such as in the case of an infant), you may be subject to an additional registration fee.  ADG also charges an annual PROGRAM FEE of $50.00 to all students to help offset the soaring costs of consumable materials.  This Program Fee is included in your registration fee for the first year.

MINIMUM ENROLLMENT:  2 days per week (such as Tuesday and Thursday).  We also have available 3, 4, and 5 day programs.   

WE PROVIDE FULL AND PARTTIME PRESCHOOL (ONLY) CARE: FULL-TIME is defined as anything between the hours of 6:30am and 6pm.  PART-TIME is considered anytime between the hours of 8:00am and 3:00pm, with NO EXCEPTIONS.  This program includes our lunch and naptime.  We also offer an AM ONLY program designed for those who are just looking for the preschool experience.  This program runs from 8:30am through lunch.  Please contact the Center's office for program availability.

LUNCH AND SNACK PROVIDED: We offer as part of our program a completely nutritional hot lunch program.  This service meets the basic requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture.

PERSONAL USE TIME: Each child is allotted the equivalent of two weeks personal use time (depending upon program) over a twelve consecutive month period.  To be eligible to use one of these weeks of time, the child must have been in attendance for at least six months.  These weeks or parts thereof can be used for illness, vacation, etc.  PERSONAL USE TIME CANNOT BE ACCUMULATED FROM YEAR TO YEAR, AND CANNOT BE USED AS A FORM OF TUITION PAYMENT.

MULTI CHILD DISCOUNT:  A 5% discount will be allowed to the oldest child in the family enrolled in the center.

PROLONGED LEAVES OF ABSENCE:  Any leave from the center, after exhausting any and all earned personal days, will incur the same weekly charge as per your parent contract.  THE MAXIMUM LEAVE OF ABSENCE ALLOWED IN ANY 12 MONTH PERIOD WILL BE 4 WEEKS, upon which the Director, at his discretion, may remove your child from the enrollment and fill that vacancy.

REENROLLMENT:  An option has been made available for those wishing to withdraw their child from the Center, and then re-enroll them at a later time (i.e., over the summer).  This can be accomplished by meeting the following criteria: (1) Your account must be current, no outstanding balance; (2) Your child's file must be up-to-date, health assessment, emergency form, etc. and (3) You must pay the registration fee again (no coupon valid for this option).  Assuming we will have an opening, and everything is in order, the Director will approve your re-enrollment.

PARENT CONTRACT CHANGES:  will be limited to once per calendar year, and subject to space availability.  We will, however, do everything within our ability to accommodate your needs.

RETURNED CHECK CHARGE: $50.00 per check, per transaction.

CHILD ILLNESS: Parents are required to pay for all days scheduled per their parent contract.  Please refer to the personal use time section also, for further information.

EARLY DROPOFF OR LATE PICKUP FEE: A charge of $2.00 per minute, per child, will be assessed for any drop-offs before 6:30am or pick-ups after 6:00pm.

ANY PARTTIME CHILD THAT EXCEEDS OUR PUBLISHED TIME LIMIT WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CHARGED THE HIGHEST FULL DAY RATE IN YOUR CHILD’S AGE BRACKET. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CENTER'S CLOCK WILL BE USED AS THE OFFICIAL CLOCK IN ALL DISPUTES CONCERNING THIS POLICY.
