Enrollment

Parents seeking to enroll their children in any program operated by Children’s Paradise including Tuition-based, Alternative Payment Program Vouchers, CALWORKs, California State Preschool, Early-Head-Start, Head Start or the Quality Preschool Initiative Program must visit the Center and take a tour. Questions about your child’s classrooms, teacher, curriculum, adult to child ratio, and other valuable information will be answered.

Tuiton

Tuition is charged based upon the current Fee Schedule provided during your admission conference with the Office Manager/Director unless you are participating in a subsidy program. All rates are based upon your weekly rate or as specified in the Center Contract Form which states specifically the days and hours your child will attend each week. Subsidy programs have their own policies and procedures. Please refer to the subsidy section of this handbook for more specific information.

It is preferred that your child also receives a tour of our Center and spends some time in their assigned room before their first day of school. The time spent in the classroom will give your child the opportunty to meet their teacher, begin new friendships, and see the environment while accompanied by a trusted adult. Children who are introduced into a new environment in this manner have a much easier time with the adjustment process that follows enrollment into a new school. This is especially important for infants and children through the age of five.
