We encourage parents to set up an appointment to tour the center. We practice an open door policy and encourage parents to ask questions, voice concerns and partner with the staff regarding their child's development/accomplishments. Parent-teacher conferences are strongly recommended.
A deposit equivalent to one weeks tuition is required to reserve space in the program.
There are additional state-issued forms that must be completed and returned to the center when the child starts attending Tiny Wonders.
Tuition is due every Monday, acceptable forms of payment include: cash, checks, money orders and credit cards. We also accept state-issued childcare vouchers.
Failure to pay tuition in a timely manner will result in the dismissal of the child.
