Welcome to Noah's Ark Academy

 

We are pleased and honored that you have chosen Noah's Ark Academy to be your partner in cultivating your child's developmental needs.

This handbook is meant to be your guide to our policies and procedures.  It outlines what you can expect from us as well as what we expect from you in return.

Nobody knows a child better than his/her parents; however, since we are with your child for a substantial part of the day, it is imperative that we work together.

We strive to provide the best care possible for your child.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

We thank you for the opportunity to love, guide and teach your child.  We look forward to a great partnership with you.  Together, we can make a difference in training the future adults who will one day rule the world.

 

 

 

 

Philosophy of the School

 

Character training is one of the supreme goals of Christian education, God says, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6). Children must be faithfully trained in love, line upon line, precept upon precept, day after day.

Therefore, we value a quality education that serves as catalyst in helping children reach their learning potential. Our goal is to provide licensed teachers who care, inspire and motivate students to learn. We also seek to provide a solid curriculum that is proven to be effective in helping children master the fundamentals of learning.

 

 

 

Our Mission

 

The mission of Noah's Ark is to assist parents in training their children to become more Christ-like in character, and assist the child in reaching his/her potential in all areas of development (spiritual, academic, emotional, social, and physical) so that the child will reflect and proclaim God in our society.

 

 

Our Scope

 

Our priority is to seek for ways to serve the community and to instill a Christian influence among the children we minister. Our school reserves the right to establish guidelines and policies that serve to meet the best interest of the child's overall development and needs.

Reserving a Space

 

A space in a class will be reserved only if the non-refundable. Registration Fee and Curriculum and Supplies fee are paid. If we are not able to open a class for your child, your Registration Fee and Curriculum and Supply fee will be refunded.

 

Registration Fee, Curriculum and Supply Fee, one month tuition and tuition deposit, if applicable, are due for immediate enrollment.

 

 

Tuition and Fees

 

Noah's Ark strives to keep all fees as reasonable as possible and still maintain a high standard in the quality of education we give to our students. It is important that all fees are paid when due so we can remain current on all bills and salaries to our staff.

 

There are two enrollment periods in a calendar year:

  1. School Year(August-June)
  2. Summer Program (June-Aug).

Registration and Curriculum and Supplies fees are assessed for each enrollment period and must be paid in order to ensure your child's placement in the school.

 

No tuition credit or deduction will be given to your account for your
vacation or other absences

 



Registration Fees

 

Registration fees cover the costs of processing your child's admission and are non-refundable. Students who voluntarily terminate(absent for two consecutive weeks without payment and without written notice)during the year will be required to re-enroll and re-register.

 

 

Curriculum and Supply Fees

 

The curriculum and supply fees are varied and are determined according your child's age and classroom needs. These fees are non-refundable and due at time of enrollment.

 

Payment of Tuition and Fees

 

Payment is accepted monthly. Paying monthly is not paying for a particular time period. It is an opportunity to make a monthly installment towards the annual tuition fee. For your convenience, we have divided our annual tuition into 10 monthly installments. These installments begin on the first of August and end in May of every school year.

 

Unfortunately, due to the high fees credit card companies charge us for their use, we will only accept checks, money orders and cash.

 

Tuition for children who enroll after the beginning of the school year will be prorated based on the annual tuition.

If payment is not received by the 5th of the month, a $35.00 Late Fee will be charged to your account.  Your account will be considered delinquent when the amount outstanding plus the current monthly tuition payment are not received by its due date.  This will result in your child's dismissal from Noah's Ark Academy.  A reinstatement fee of $100.00 will be assessed to re-enroll your child.

 

Tax Statements

 

Tax Statements will be provided to all currently enrolled children upon request. A $5.00 charge will be applied for additional copies.

 

Returned Checks

 

There will be a charge of $35.00 for every returned check. If during any given time of one school session there are two returned checks, you will be required to pay future tuition payments and service charges with a cashier check, cash, or money order. A receipt will be issued for your record of payment.

 

Late Pick-up

 

Parents are requested to be very prompt in picking up their children.  It is extremely important that you sign your child out and write the time you picked him/her up.  A clock is available in the front for your convenience.  Our teachers keep a log of the time each child is dismissed.  In case of a discrepancy, our time clock check out time will prevail.   A courtesy call is always appreciated if you are late for some unforeseen circumstance. A late fee of $1.00 per minute will be charged for the time after 6:00pm This fee is to be paid in cash at the time the child is picked up. If the parent is over 30 minutes late without notice to Noah's Ark, the emergency contact person will be called to pick up your child. If contact is not successful, our director/assistant director will contact the Department of Family and Child Protective Services. Continual late pick up for your child may result in discontinuation of services.

 

Extended Care: 6:30am-9:00am/3:00pm-6:00pm

 

Parents may choose to enroll their child in the morning and/or afternoon extended care program. Only children enrolled in the Extended Care Program may receive the special Extended Care monthly rates. However, if the need arises for additional child care from time to time, an additional charge of $5.00 for every 30 minutes will be added to your account. Payment is due at the time of service. 

No credit or refund will be given to the account of children who benefit from our extended care rates for services not used. Parents may choose to withdraw from the extended care program for a particular month or part of a month, however, it will count as a “change of status”(limited to once per semester at no charge). If done more than once in a semester, the change of status will result in an administration fee of $25.00 and a re-enrollment fee of $30.00 if extended care is needed within the semester of the child’s withdrawal from extended care hours.

Parents may choose to enroll their child in sibling morning care (8:00am-9:00am) at $30.00 per month if his/her older sibling is in Pre-kindergarten or upper classes.

 

Teacher's Discount

 

A discount on extended care service is given to students enrolled in the extended day program whose parents are teachers. The cost is determined by the number of hours needed.  Parents will be told what the rate will be at the time they inform us how many hours of extended care they need.  A valid teacher's ID must be presented in order to receive our teacher's extended care rates. 

 

 

Attendance

 

To maintain consistency and quality in our educational program, the following policies must be carried out. No credits are given if your child is absent. A classroom space has been reserved just for your child. The daily cost of holiday closing, i.e. Christmas and Spring Break Holidays, was already discounted from your annual tuition.  In other words, your annual tuition is based on the actual school days your child is in schoolIf your child is absent for two consecutive weeks without payment or proper notice to the office, he/she will be considered withdrawn and his/her space will be offered to another child. If you choose to re-enroll your child, depending on space availability, a new registration fee will be required.   Written notice by a Parent/Guardian is required for all students who are absent 3 or more consecutive days. A written doctor's excuse is required if a student has been sick for more than 5 consecutive days.

 

Arrival and Release Procedure§746.501(2)

 

Parents/Guardians must sign children in and out of the school premises.  The sign in/out log is located in the front office.  It is imperative that parents and guardians cooperate be taking a few seconds to accomplish this as this document is the first one grabbed by the person in charge in case of a emergency evacuation. 

 

A $25.00 charge will be added to your account for failure to sign in and out.

 

Dropping off your child

 

 Please accompany him/her to his/her classroom where he/she will be greeted.  The teacher will acknowledge your child's arrival and you may leave the school grounds.
