Admission Policy and Required
Paperwork
The William Paterson University Child Development Center accepts children
and grandchildren from the families of students, staff, faculty and alumni.
According to the Center's license, children must be between the ages of
3 and 6 years of age and toilet trained to attend the program. If the CDC staff determines that your child is not trained, you will be asked to temporarily withdraw your child from the program.
All forms should be submitted no later than the child's
first day of school each semester. No child may start attending the Child Development
Center until the Director has determined that the required paperwork,
including physicals and immunization records, is complete.
Contract Agreement
Each semester families will meet with the Director to review the terms
of their contract. The terms include the child's schedule, tuition rate,
operating policies and support of the program. Families may lose their
privilege to have their child attend the Center if they repeatedly fail
to make tuition payments according to the terms of their contract, or
if they repeatedly arrive early or fail to pick up their child at the scheduled time without
having made prior arrangements (24 hour advance notice) with the Center.
Tuition Payment Policy
Tuition rates vary according to enrollment status. All fees will be calculated
at the time of each family's orientation, and the total semester commitment
will be divided into 3 equal payments. Fall and Spring semester tuition is due the first of the month, as stated on each family's individual contract agreement. Tuition
enrollment must be paid as agreed upon at the family's orientation meeting. Payment, in full, is required at the start of Summer Session I. A late fee of $15 will be charged
for every week on outstanding accounts, unless prior arrangements have been made.
If payments have not been made by the end of the semester
a hold will be placed on parent's grades until notification of payment
in full is received from the Child Development Center. Payments must be
up-to-date in order to re-register a child.
Registration for the Following
Semester
Registration is by semester. Each family will be given an enrollment form
before the end of the current semester for the following semester. In
order to insure a place for your child, paperwork must be returned by
the deadline stated on the form. The Center enrolls new students each
semester based on the availability of placements.
Hours of Operation
The Child Development Center is open Monday through Friday from 7:45 a.m.
until 4:45 p.m. during the academic year and is open adjusted hours, Monday
through Thursday during summer session I. The Director will give each
family a list of scheduled closings at the orientation meeting.
Withdrawal Policy
Parent(s) /guardian(s) who wish to withdraw their child from the Child Development Center must present written notification of withdrawal no less than two weeks in advance, unless prior arrangements have been made with the Director. No refund in tuition shall be made prior to the date of withdrawal. Any parent/guardian employed by the University withdrawing from college classes will no longer be eligible for student tuition rates.
Arrival and Departure
Sign in sheets are located in the family section of the classroom. The Division
of Youth and Family Services requires a parent or guardian's complete
signature for each child. Upon arrival and departure, please sign your
child in and out, read all notices attached to the sign in sheet and on the parent
message board located outside the classroom door. Place any items from
home in your child's cubby. To ensure that the Center has a clear transfer
of responsibility, please be sure that a staff member is fully aware of
your child's arrival and departure each day.
