Enrollment and Registration

ORIENTATION

Parents of enrolled children will receive a notice in July of orientation dates. Orientation provides an opportunity for the parents and child to meet teachers and classmates as well as pick up important information regarding the school. This time allows parents and children to familiarize themselves with the classroom and day-to-day activities planned for them. We strongly encourage and rely on parents to become involved in their child’s preschool experience.


REGISTRATION

Registration Fee is $30.00 for existing students and church members and $60.00 for new students.

Registration fees help with expenses such as registration paperwork, mailing, and postage along with miscellaneous expenses during the school term. Registration for the following year will be held in February for current students and church members, and will open to the public mid-February. Classes are filled on a first come - first serve basis according to the date that the non-refundable registration fee is paid. The registration fee must accompany the application in order to hold your child’s spot in the preschool.

If classes are filled when a parent inquires, the child’s name will be placed on a waiting list. A deposit is required to put a child’s name on the waiting list. As vacancies occur during the year, they will be filled from the waiting list or from new registrations according to the above procedures.


TUITION

The first tuition payment is due on September 1st. There will be eight remaining payments due each month October through May.

Payments are due on the first day of each month and are considered late if received after the sixth of the month. Because tuition is a monthly fee and is built into the budget each year, no refunds are given for illness, vacations or snow days. (Snow days are not made up.) It is very important that tuition be paid on time. In the event that tuition payments are paid after the sixth of the month, a $10.00 computer generated late fee will be assessed. Checks returned for insufficient funds must be paid out in cash, along with the appropriate bank returned check fee. After two returned checks, all payments must be paid in cash or money order for the remainder of the school year.

Please make checks payable to: Aldersgate or AUMC (Aldersgate United Methodist Church). Checks may be mailed or placed in the tuition payment box located in the office. Please do not send checks in book-bags or give to the teachers as they could get misplaced.

The school’s mailing address is:
Aldersgate Week Day School
Attn: Karen Hicks
1320 Umstead Road
Durham, NC 27712.

We offer a five percent (5%) discount for the second child to families enrolling more than one child in our program.
