HAZELWOOD CONTRACT AND WAIVER

2024-2025

The following agreement is made by and between Hazelwood Preschool and    

Current Tuition Rates:

• Half Day Program $1045/Month

• Full Day program $1,485/month

Please read the following agreement carefully:

My tuition payments will cover the months of September-June and will not include the summer camps taking place within the months of July or August. The school will be closed for a Winter Break in Mid-December ending at the New Year as well as for Mid-Winter/Spring Breaks (scheduled to closely match the breaks of the Seattle Public Schools). However, I may elect to enroll in Mid-Winter or Spring Break camps. These camps are optional and will be billed through the ProCare System. Summer Camps are also optional and are may be signed up in advance in late Winter. These camps are paid for weekly. Families may enroll their students and their siblings that are 2 to 7 years in all camps.

I understand it is my responsibility to follow the invites and guidelines in the ProCare online system to set up my bank account information in order for my payments to be completed. Tuition for September will be auto billed September 3, 2024 and will reflect any previously paid deposit, if applicable. After that, Invoices for the following month will be generated on the 15th of the previous month and charge my account one week before the following month begins. Meaning, I will be charged October Tuition on September 24th. I understand that my child’s enrollment is on condition that these payments are made on time.  

Hours and Extended Care:

Our arrival time will be between 8:30am and 9:00am, and pick up time will be no later than 1pm for Half Day students and 4pm for Full Day students. If my child is enrolled in the Half Day program and I need occasional afternoon care, I may sign up for the Afternoon Drop-In Program at drop-off which is $30/Day and will be billed at the end of the month through ProCare. If not enrolled in Full-Day care, any time spent between 1:05pm-4:00pm at Hazelwood will be considered attending Afternoon Drop-In and I will be charged $30 for the afternoon, regardless if child leaves early. A fee of $10 every 5 minutes will be applied for late pick up after 4:00pm, except for emergency situations on which I will try to the best of my ability to notify the school of the situation. There will be After Care until 5:30 available to students for $20 per day. Both Afternoon Drop-In and After Care can be signed up on ProCare at morning sign-in on my ProCare App. Accounts will be billed at the end of the month for all late fees and drop-in care. I understand that if I cancel these payments or the fees are not paid on time, my child will not be able to attend until fees are paid in full.

Before signing this contract, I have read the Policy Handbook and Parent Handbook provided for me and promise to uphold the requirements outlined for me and my child there. I understand that disregarding these policies can result in termination from child care enrollment. By signing below, I am representing my family’s commitment to these policies and contract.
