FEES
We require $25 application fee and a $500 non-refundable deposit to secure your position. This $500 will go directly towards classroom supplies and the garden and will be due when you apply and each August for the following school years.
Change or Cancellation of Contract
We require a 60 day notice if you wish to cancel or reduce enrollment. You are required to pay one month's enrollment fee from the day you give notice, unless we find a family to fill your spot sooner.
Clothing
Please remember that we are an ecologically based school - this means many things, one of which is that we get DIRTY and WET from time to time. Please pack appropriate clothes for the weather and make sure that all of your child’s clothing is LABELED.
TOILETING
Children must be toilet trained before their first day.
