Building Blocks for Life Preschool Payment Policies

We require all families who request recurring payments for their preschool tuition and/or are enrolled in the Before and Aftercare program to be enrolled in the Electronic Withdrawal program. We will only accept payments via check or cash for those paying their tuition in full at the start of the year. 

 

 

A $40 NONREFUNDABLE registration fee is due when you enroll your student. This will hold your child’s spot for the upcoming school year until the first month’s tuition is due. Your child’s spot is not held until the registration fee is received. 

 

 

The first month’s tuition will be submitted for electronic processing on July 18, 2022, to continue to hold your child’s spot. If you withdraw AND notify the preschool prior to August 15, 2022, we will provide a full refund of the September tuition within 30 days of your notice. If you withdraw after August 15, 2022, the first month’s tuition is NOT REFUNDABLE. 

 

 

On-going monthly deductions will begin on October 5 and will continue on the 5th of every month with the last payment being withdrawn on May 5. If the 5th falls on a holiday or a weekend, the payment will be transacted on the following business day. You will not receive additional prior notice for your monthly deductions. Each family’s responsibility is to ensure funds are available when the payments are scheduled to be withdrawn. Payments may post to your account on the day of the transaction, or within several days following the transaction. This will depend on the payment method used for the withdrawal and your bank’s process for handling these types of transactions. 

 

Those who have opted to pay for tuition in two payments will have the first payment withdrawn on July 18, 2022, and the second on January 5, 2022. You will not have additional prior notice to these withdrawals. Each family’s responsibility is to ensure funds are available when the payments are scheduled to be withdrawn.

 

 

If your payment is declined we will reach out to you via email. You will have two weeks from the date of the returned transaction to provide payment in full. You must contact the preschool to make arrangements for this payment. If the tuition is not paid in full within two weeks, your child/children will be suspended until full payment is received. 

 

 

You may print a copy of the authorization form here, or it may be found in the packet provided to you by our director. The form must be turned in before July 18, 2022. If you are enrolling after this date, you must turn in the form within one week of enrollment. At that time you will be informed on which date your first payment will be processed. If you have not turned in the payment authorization form in the timeframe mentioned above, your child’s spot will not be held. The registration fee will only hold your child’s spot until the first payment for tuition is due.

 

Please keep this form up-to-date. If you must change the payment method, please turn in a new form at least 10 days prior to the next recurring payment. If you change payment methods less than 10 days prior to transaction processing, we may not have sufficient time to make the change and the payment will post to the original payment method.  

 

 

We strive to make our Before and Aftercare program flexible and affordable for our families. We understand the difficulties parents can face when balancing work and parenting. With this in mind, we ask you to schedule before and aftercare for your child one month in advance. These forms can be found here or at the preschool upon request. The payment will be withdrawn on the Monday following each week you are scheduled for the service.  You will not receive additional notice of each transaction. Each family’s responsibility is to ensure funds are available when the payments are scheduled to be withdrawn. If your child was in the Before and Aftercare program on a day they were not originally scheduled that payment will be added to the following week’s transaction processing. Please see our policy for Before and Aftercare for more information.

 

 

If your payments are declined for any reason, you will be notified via email. It will be your responsibility to arrange payment of the past-due fees with the preschool. If fees are outstanding for two weeks, your child/children will not be able to utilize this program until payment in full is received. If the fees are outstanding for 30 days, your child/children will be suspended from preschool until payment in full is made.
