Our enrollment process begins with an interview between the program director and your family. We want to ensure our preschool meets your standards and that you feel welcomed into our program. Once a decision is made to enroll, a financial commitment in the form of a deposit is made. This financial commitment places your family on our pre-selected list. The program director will be in close communication with you regarding movement on our pre-selected list.

Your first tuition payment will be submitted for processing on your child’s first day and prorated for their start date. Tuition payments are processed on the 25th of each month for the upcoming month. You have the option to switch to ACH payment by adding a bank account to your LuvNotes account to circumvent any associated credit card fees. Once you start, monthly payments will be withdrawn automatically from the account on file. A third-party processing fee will be added to credit card payments. Should you decide to withdraw, we require a written, 30-day notice. -
