Tuition Information - 2011-12

Tuition is billed monthly based on the weekly rates shown below. Tuition is billed based
on the weeks we are in session that month. You are not billed for the week if we are
closed for the entire week. If we are open for a portion of a week, you are billed for the

We are offering a Winter break this year in the month of February. During that time, the
elementary and secondary schools will be closed. The preschool will be open for Winter
Camp that week. You will only be billed for this week if your child signs up for Winter
Camp. Children attending Winter Camp will pay a fee for the days they attend.

Withdrawal Policy: Enrollment in Calvary Murrieta Christian Preschool is for one school year; August through May. If it becomes necessary for you to withdraw your child from the program, a two-week written notice must be given to the Director. If a two-week notice is not given to the Director prior to your child’s termination of services, you will be responsible for the full fees for those two weeks.
Termination of Services: Calvary Murrieta Christian Preschool reserves the right to terminate child care services if, in the judgment of the Teacher or Director:

A child is aggressive toward other children and causes harm to others or self.
An inordinate amount of the teacher’s time is needed to attend to a particular child’s special situation, to the extent that it is depriving the other children in the classroom the level of care and concern to which they are entitled. In such a situation, the child may have to leave the center temporarily for safety’s sake. Repeated uncontrollable behavior can lead to discontinuation of services. In that case, a two week notice may be given before termination of services in order to allow parents to find alternate childcare. It should be noted, however, that in extreme cases where a child must be removed from our facility immediately, the two week notice will be waived.
The tuition account becomes delinquent.
The child is not fully toilet trained.
Failure of parents/guardians to honor the obligations listed in the Handbook or any rules, regulations, or manuals provided by the Preschool.
The child’s special needs are beyond the Preschool’s scope of care.

In order to continue your child’s enrollment in our elementary school and beyond, at least one parent must be a born-again follower of Jesus Christ and regularly attend a protestant church. All families in our elementary school, junior high and high school must complete a pastor’s reference form annually.
