- Within two (2) weeks of the day that you were notified, you must fill out the enrollment forms through Kindertales and pay the non-refundable enrollment fee of $500. If you fail to enroll within the two week period, another child from the waiting list will be given the space.
Enrollment Fee
There is a one-time non-refundable enrollment fee of $500, ($250 Registration and $250 Security Deposit). The Security Deposit will be credited towards child’s first month’s tuition.
