Withdrawal and Refund Policy

Withdrawal prior to the end of the school year impacts the viability of Joyful Noise – Child Care.  For this reason once the school year has started the $203 prepaid tuition for June 2014 shall be non-refundable.  Parents shall notify Joyful Noise – Child Care 30 days in advance of dis-enrolling their child from the program.  Parents are responsible for payment for the 30 days subsequent to giving notice.

 

Illness or Absence Policy

Children who have or have had a fever or who have vomited may not return to Joyful Noise – Child Care until 24 hours after the symptoms have subsided.  If the child is determined to be too sick by any member of the Joyful Noise – Child Care the parent(s) will be called and expected to pick up the child within 60 minutes.  In the event that the parent(s) is unable to pick up their child within 60 minutes then they shall arrange for someone from their emergency contact list to pick up their child.  The person from authorized list must show their ID to pick up the child.

 

Parent(s) are expected to notify Joyful Noise – Child Care of their child’s absence due to illness or any other reason no later than 11 AM of the day of absence by email.
