How much is it? How do I hold a spot for my child?

Please see tuition icon or call for more information.  In order to 
hold a spot, we need a $50 non-refundable registration fee.  If your child
won't be starting immediately, we ask that you check in with us the 1st of
each month.  Rates will increase the week of August 11, 2008.

Is there part-time care?

In the past, we have made part-time care available. However, due to increases
in enrollment, we have eliminated part-time care and will only provide drop in
services with prior approval.

Do you offer drop- in service?

We do offer drop-in services with Director approval (esp. for non-school
days).  Please contact Julie ahead of time if your child will need care on any
extra days so we stay within our state ratios.  Payments for
drop-in/non-school days are due before the services are rendered.

When is payment due?

Payment is due one week in advance & due on Friday.  If it not received 
by 10 a.m. Monday morning, a $5 per day late fee will be assessed for each 
day that its late.

What do you do in re: to inclimate weather?

St. MAM CDC will follow JCPS schedule. Please watch the news stations for
notification or call the answering machine. We make every attempt to stay open
but we also don't want to sacrifice the safety of our families/children or
staff if it is dangerous conditions.

ie. If JCPS is on a 2 hour delay, we will be too....which means we will not
accept children before 9 a.m..

Do you serve lunch?

Unfortunately, we DO NOT have a kitchen in our facility.  Our children bring
their lunches daily which can be kept in the refrigerators and food can be
heated in the microwaves.  Parents must send in food that meets the 5 main
food groups.

Do you take field trips?

Our Three and Four Year Olds take field trips twice a month.  One day we
minister music to residents at either Atria of St. Matthews or Belmont
Village.  Another day later on in the month we take a field trip related to
the curriculum they are studying.

If I am enrolling an infant, what do I need to supply?

Infants will need prepared bottles (labeled), a package of diapers, 3 changes
of clothing (at all times), food/cereal (if they have reached that milestone),
diaper cream (permission form signed), & sippie cup if they are in the
transition baby room.
