Parental Agreement Form

  • Parental Agreements with Child Care Facility

  • 1. North Miami Beach Learning Center has agreed to provide child care during scheduled hours of operation as needed, but not to exceed 11 hours per day. I am aware of the center operating hours, holidays, attendance and payment policies, and agree to them.

    2. Tuition is due every two weeks and paid in advance. Tuition must be paid by the Friday before service is provided. A $5 per day late fee will be incurred, if tuition is not paid on time. After one week of an outstanding balance, your child will not be allowed to return to the center. To secure your child’s enrollment at North Miami Beach Learning Center, tuition is due regardless of attendance. If your child is sick or tardy we ask that you call the school by 9:00am that morning to notify that your child will be absent or tardy. If your child is absent for more than 3 consecutive days it is mandatory to visit your child’s physician and provide the school with a note from the doctor stating that your child can return to school.

This will facilitate your child’s learning process in order to stay updated with the current lesson.

    6.
