REFERRAL POLICY:

Our Referral Plan is a complete A to Z opportunity for our Parents to draw-down on the cost of their weekly tuition. Other Centers provide less services and no incentives, we give more and serve well. Though we watch our bottom line, it is not at the expense of our Parents'.

Our A to Z Referral Plan can not be matched by any Center in town, and that is a fact..! Our plan enables parents to save $5.00, per child referred and registered, off of their weekly tuition. This credit continues for as long as the referred child

is enrolled at A-Z. With the A to Z Referral Plan our Parents can earn free tuition for their own child or children by bringing in new enrollments that stay with the Center. This Policy ONLY applies to referrals after May 15, 1998.

Don’t forget to ask for your credit if you participate in our Referral Plan. See Ms. Bola or Ms. Pam for more information.

ABSENTEE POLICY:

A - Z Child Development Center had established policy on children absentees from the Center. If a child is absent due to Parent being on vacation, illness or any other events, a full week's tuition is charged if the child attends any portion of the week. In order to reserve the child's enrollment spot, for a vacation, illness or other events of one week or more, the Parents are asked to pay half of the weekly tuition for each week of absence. Enrollment will automatically be withdrawn if the fee is not paid.
