About Us - Registration & Tuition

Registration Policy

Parents are required to complete all the forms in the Enrollment Packet prior to the child’s start date at Zadie’s Nurturing Den. The Enrollment Packet includes the (1) Child Enrollment Application, (2) Financial Agreement, (3) Emergency Medical Treatment and Transportation Form, (4) Universal Child Health Record, (5) Infant / Toddler or Preschool Assessment, and (6) Parent Handbook. Updates to certain forms will be required to ensure accuracy of our files. Should any contact information change during your child’s enrollment, please make sure that the Director is notified as soon as possible.

Initial Trial Period

Your child’s adjustment to Zadie’s Nurturing Den is very important. There is a two-week trial period to determine how well your child is adapting to the care provided, the environment, and our staff. However, pursuant to our contract with you, we do reserve the right to terminate service to any child or parent who does not seem to adjust well.

Deposit

Pursuant to our contract with you, a two-week security deposit and enrollment fee is due upon your child’s enrollment at Zadie’s Nurturing Den. The deposit is applicable to your child’s last two weeks at Zadie’s Nurturing Den, if written notice is provided. Failure to provide written notice will result in a loss of your security deposit.

Tuition

Tuition checks must be received before care is rendered. Before your child’s first day at Zadie’s, please inform us of whether you will be paying on a weekly or monthly basis. If you pay weekly, tuition must be paid on the preceding Friday. Monthly tuition payments are due by the 5th of the month. Please place all tuition payments in the box located in the main hallway on the first floor. If payment has not been received, your account will be billed a late payment fee. Zadie’s will issue account statements each month. Please review your statements carefully and call the Business Manager with any questions after 5 p.m.

Remember to write your child’s full name on your payment. If your payment includes anything other than tuition please note the additional items in the memo section of your check.

Extended & Overnight Care

Zadie’s Nurturing Den provides overnight care when parents require additional support. Arrangements must be made with the Director ahead of time whenever possible. Extended care is generally not offered before and during major holidays.

Please speak with the Director to determine the fee for extended and overnight care.

Zadie’s Nurturing Den requests that parents refrain from asking staff members to provide additional care for their children during the staff member’s personal time.
