• Withdrawals: From time to time, and mostly due to relocation, families may withdraw their child from our program. We request that, families provide a two month notice of their intention to withdraw their child, so that the teachers are aware and can prepare for any impact on the child and the class as a result of the child’s pending departure. After two months from received notice parents receive 100% of the remaining fees.

If the nursery is to close for 10 days (or indefinitely) parents will have the option to continue with our home school learning program for which existing fees would apply. Refunds will not be applicable for time elapsed and cannot be prorated for mid-month closures. If parents do not wish to continue with home school learning, from new month their remaining post- dated checks will be returned to them.
