PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL

Parents/Guardians must communicate to Jasmin Child Care their intent to withdraw their child at least two weeks prior to the child’s last day, however, we do understand that situations may arise that are beyond your control. In those instances, please keep us updated and notify us of any changes regarding your child’s withdrawal from the program. The following are conditions that will cause us to terminate your child’s enrollment:

• Behavior Management that cannot be resolved
• Continuous late pick-ups
• Inability to respect staff, children or other parents/guardians

• Directly or indirectly threatening a staff member or child

3. Please call and inform me when your child will not attend due to illness or some other event.
4. Please advise me upon enrollment if you plan to remove your child from child care for any length of time (i.e., the summers for school teachers, or when you are on maternity leave with another child, etc.).

Vacation/Absence Pay:

• It is helpful to think of your child care slot as something your purchase each week. It belongs to you whether you use it or not.

When more than one child from the same family is enrolled, a 10% reduction is given for second and third child.
