Tuition and Fees

All fees include breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack.
Fees are based on a weekly rate and are not pro-rated.
Fees are due whether or not the child is in attendance.

One Year: $150.00    Two Year: $120.00    Three Year: $95.00

Four/Five Year: $90.00    VPK: $80.00

1. Registration fee: This is a yearly fee of $60.00. This is charged to help cover insurance costs and supplies. This is renewed on your child’s entrance date every year.
2. All fees are due on Friday prior to the coming week. If fees are not paid by 10:00 Monday morning, a $20.00 late fee will be added to your account. Children will not be accepted into the program on Tuesday if the fees have not been paid.
3. The second child and each additional child is charged $10.00 less per week in their fee category. The youngest child is considered the first child.
4. Vacation or sick weeks: If your child is out for a week or more, you are still required to pay full price for tuition. This ensures that your child will still have a spot available when he/she returns.
5. If you are on Coordinated Child Care, you are responsible to pay your weekly parent fee which is assessed by CCC, a $5.00 center fee, as well as your registration fee. For our infant program there is a $30.00 center fee.
6. Our hours of operation are from 7:00am-5:45pm. If you do not pick your child up by 5:45 there will be a $1.00 charge for every minute until you arrive.
7. There is a $27.00 charge for all NSF fees.
8. We are closed 12 days during the year for holidays and teacher trainings. You will be notified well in advance of those days. You are still required to pay tuition for those days.

Infection Control Policy

It is inevitable that children will get sick, no matter where the are. As children begin to have contact with the world outside of their own families, they come into contact with germs and bacteria that are foreign to their bodies. This is the way they build immunities. We cannot, nor would we want to shield a child completely from the outside world. If we did, the natural immunities a child gains through contact with others would not develop and a simple cold could become a serious illness. We do, however, want to protect a child from an unusually high exposure to germs all at once.

In a child care setting, illness can spread rapidly through the other children and the staff if the stringent measures are not taken to prevent contagion. Careful hand washing by children and staff can eliminate 75% of the risk of spreading infection. For this reason, children and adults are requested to wash hands upon arrival and after spending time outdoors.

Children who exhibit signs of illness will be isolated from the other children and parents will be called immediately to pick their child up. Please help us to protect the health of our students and teachers by keeping children at home if they have any of the symptoms listed below:

1. Fever-100 orally; 101 rectally (or higher)
2. Sever coughing (child gets red in face, or makes high pitched whooping sounds after coughing)
3. Difficult or rapid breathing (especially in infants)
4. Yellowish skin or eyes
5. Redness of eyelid lining, tearing of eye, a puss like discharge, or swelling (may indicate conjunctivitis, “pink eye”)
6. Unusual spots or skin rashes
7. Sore throat or trouble swallowing
8. Infected skin patches
9. Crusty, bright yellow, dry or gummy areas of skin-possibly accompanied by fever
10. Unusually dark, tea colored urine-especially with fever
11. Grey or white stool
12. Headache or stiff neck
13. Vomiting
14. Diarrhea
15. Severe itching

Please Note:
Your child will need to be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to the program.

Discipline Policy

The Pinellas County License Board requires that parents read and acknowledge by signature that they are aware of  the Discipline Policy set by Sea Us Grow Preschool.

Children learn self-control when adults treat them with dignity and use discipline techniques as a means of helping them become more socialized. Sea Us Grow Preschool first establishes an appropriate classroom environment in order to discourage unacceptable behavior. When teacher intervention is necessary, the following discipline techniques are used:

1. We set clear, consistent, fair limits for classroom behavior.
2. We value mistakes as learning opportunities.
3. We redirect children to more acceptable activities.
4. We guide children to resolve conflicts by teaching them skills to solve problems on their own.
5. We give gentle reminders of classroom rules and the reasons for them.
6. We remove the child, if necessary, from the situation until he/she is ready to reenter the group.
7. We schedule a parent conference if further support is needed to help with the problem.

Our center will ensure that age appropriate constructive disciplinary practices are used for children in our care.

All children personnel of the child care facility must comply with the facility’s written disciplinary practices.

Such policies shall include standards that prohibit children from being subjected to discipline that is severely humiliating, frightening, or associated with food, rest or toileting.

Spanking or any other form of physical punishment is prohibited by all childcare personnel.
