 Our center is always open to parents/guardians.  We strive to be a fun, comfortable and secure place where your children can have a family atmosphere. We also offer parent education on infant and toddler health, growth and development.

Field Trips—Parents will be notified one month in advance of any field trips and the cost per child.  If you want your child to participate, he/she must be 3yrs and over and have a signed permission slip.

Child Care Contract

I have read and understand the enrollment packet and agree to adhere to all the policies stated in the packet.

My child will be in daycare on these days between these hours

 

Monday________ Tuesday_________ Wednesday________

Thursday________ Friday___________

 

With a cost of $__________Per Month/Day/˝ Day

Payments are due bi-monthly on the 1st and the 16th and a minimum payment of two weeks in advance before care can begin.  Late fees of 10% of your balance will be assessed after 5 days from billing for all past due balances.  If you suspect you will be late picking your child up, you must call and let us know.  Please remember we are a business and we close promptly at 6 PM. A late fee of 15.00 plus 2.00 a minute will be assessed for pickups after 6.

 

If you prepay for child care several months in advance and you leave the childcare center before the end of the prepay period then there is a 50% surcharge on your account balance. The remaining balance, after the surcharge is applied, will be re-paid to you 30-60 days after what would have been your original end date.

 

I agree to pay the $45.00 registration fee plus two weeks in advance and will pay Small Steps Childcare on the 1st and the 16th of every month.  I understand that I must give Small Steps a 30 day written notice in the event of cancellation of this contract.  I also understand that all unpaid balances will result in suspension or termination of care after seven days.
