stellar reputation.The complaint you received from Mr. [redacted] is completely unfounded, as the fee policy of the school is clearly outlined both in our Parent Handbook, and on our website. As Mr. [redacted] withdrew his child from our program after school closed for the summer holidays, having had a space held for him since the spring, the first month's tuition fee of $400.00 is not refundable. This was also explained to him through numerous emails over the summer. Mr. [redacted] signed our registration form, thereby agreeing to the school's policies and practices. Our fee policy is in place because in the past, many families have registered with us, and also other preschools, and waited until the summer to decide which program suited them best. Of course, this is absolutely their right, but as a small school, with no government funding at all, we rely on tuition fees alone. In May and June, I often have to turn new families away, as we are full, but by summer, they have registered elsewhere and we are left with empty spaces. Since the policy was put in place, I have had no withdrawals over the summer, and have been able to start the year with a full class. It has encouraged families to commit to the school upon registering. Of course, the rest of the post-dated cheques are either returned, or destroyed.Maria Montessori School has been a valued member of our community for 21 years, and employs six people. As our clients come to us mostly through word of mouth, our reputation is extremely important.

Regular school holidays such as Christmas, Spring Break and Statutory holidays are observed. The morning class begins at 9:00 a.m. and the children are dismissed at 11:30 am. The afternoon class begins at 1:00 p.m. and dismissal is at 3:30 p.m.Summer holidays begin the third week of June. It is very important that you be on time to pick up your child from school. Firstly, because it instils a sense of security and well being in the child, and secondly, we ate only licensed to have children in our room for 2 1/2 hours at a time. Parents who are consistently late at pick up time will be reminded of our hours, and thereafter will be charged $1.00 per minute they are late on a daily basis.FEESTuition for the 2016/17 school year is $4000.00 You may pay the fees in full by cheque, dated for the 1st of September, or you may choose to present the school with 10 post-dated cheques for $400.00 dated for the first of each month from September, through to June,. If you should wish to withdraw your child from our program at any time, you are welcome to do so with one full calendar month's notice, and your remaining fees will be returned to you. However; we do not return tuition fees for May and June. As the fee is annual and our costs for the year are fixed, it is necessary that we operate with a full class. Students who withdraw so late in the year cannot easily be replaced, so we ask you to keep this in mind when planning early vacations. Due to the fact that some families register in the spring, have a space held for them, and then withdraw over the summer, when it is difficult to fill their spot, we now require that the tuition fee for September be dated for July 1, and is non refundable.
