General Policies and Financial Plan
I am enrolling my child in God's Window Christian Preschool for the 2023-2024 school year.
I understand that at the time of registration an application fee of $50 is due.
I understand there is a tuition installment due by August 15, 2023.
I understand that my child will not be dismissed from the program without being picked up by a parent-designated adult.
I understand there will be a $5 fee will be added every 15 minutes for any late pick-ups. I understand that chronic late pick-up may result in my child's unenrollment in the program.
I understand that if a medical emergency arises, program staff will attempt to contact parents or the emergency contact that I have indicated. (It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the staff if this information changes.) If immediate medical attention is necessary, an ambulance or emergency vehicle may take my child to the hospital of their choice.
In cases of illness, I understand that my child will not be permitted to attend the program. If staff feels that a child has a contagious disease, he/she may not return to the program without a doctor’s note.
In order for my child to be considered for this program I understand that I must complete all enrollment paperwork and health assessments.
I understand that God's Window Christian Preschool program is Christian faith-based.
I agree to update the emergency contact and parental agreement when changes occur or every 6 months at a minimum. (PA Code 3270.124, 3280124., 3290.124)
GOD’S WINDOW PRESCHOOL
FINANCIAL INFORMATION: Annual tuition is divided into 10 payments, due the 15th of each month from August 2023 through May 2024. Checks should be made out to God’s Window and deposited in the payment box located by the God’s Window Office or sent via US Mail. Cash payments should always be received personally by the GW Director. Online payment is an additional option (see below.) NOTE: PAYMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED VIA STUDENT BACKPACKS.
Late Fees: If tuition payment is not received by the 25th of the month a late fee of $25.00 will be assessed. An additional $25 dollar fee will be assessed for each month the balance remains unpaid. (For example: No tuition payment is made in January and a late fee is added to the account on Jan. 26. Then no payment is made in February. A second late fee is added to the account. If the account is not paid in full by Feb. 28, enrollment will be suspended effective March 1.) The payment date will be determined by the date the check was received. The check date is not used as a payment date.
Online/Automatic Payments:
Tuition payments may be made via ACH from a bank account using the Online Tuition Payment option found at www.northamptonpresby.com/preschool
We also offer the option of having recurring payments automatically withdrawn from a bank account via ACH. Please contact nptreas@gmail.com in order to take advantage of this option.
Outstanding Balances:
Any family that has not paid their child’s tuition plus any late fees for two months in a row will be contacted by the GW Director. At that time, the GW Director and the family will come up with a plan of action, either for immediate payment in full of past due amounts or an agreed upon payment plan for the full past due amounts which is created by the GW Director and documented in writing and signed by the parents.
*If no payment is made and/or the agreed upon payment plan is not met, the child will be excluded from the program until payments are made.
*If a pattern of late payment necessitates frequent reminders, the family may be required to pay in advance by the semester in order to be re-enrolled for the following year. No student(s) of parents owing overdue tuition/fees will be readmitted the following year unless the overdue amount is paid in full by June 30.
Tuition Refunds: Requests for prepaid tuition refunds must be made by the end of the month prior to withdrawal of the student. No refunds are available for partial month attendance. In the event of a school-wide closure due to COVID-19 restrictions, prepaid tuition will be refunded based on closure date. If an individual classroom is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, no refunds will be issued.
