Registration and Enrollment Policy
Salem Weekday Preschool is not presently equipped or trained to accept students who are developmentally challenged outside of their chronological age level; therefore, children must be the developmental, chronological and cognitive age of the class they enter. All students who are receiving any developmental assistance must present all evaluations to the Director prior to entry or contact the Director concerning when evaluations will be available. Children must be the age of the class they are entering by August 31 of that school year. The Director and the governing board have the right to dismiss any child should they be unable to adjust to the classroom and age level requirements in a 3-6 week period. Circumstances such as unresolved language and/or communication barrier, uncontrollable crying, screaming or anxiety, inability to adapt to the classroom routine, disruptive and/or aggressive behavior are some of the reasons for dismissal. The Registration Fee is $100 for the first child and $75 for each additional child in the family, This fee is non-refundable, even if your child cannot attend the preschool for the upcoming year. To secure your child's enrollment, September tuition must be paid by June 30. We do not accept credit or debit cards. We accept checks and the correct amount of cash. We do not keep cash on the premises; therefore, we are unable to give change.

You may sign your child up for only one class. Exceptions are made for staff children when necessary. We can only accept registration forms on the day of registration, so early drop off and mail-in of registration forms is not permitted. If you have difficulty understanding or reading English, you will need to bring someone with you to interpret because if your child is enrolled, you will be required to sign policies and answer questions that you must understand. If your child is enrolled and does not speak or understand English well enough to function in the classroom and be safe, he/she will be required to interview with the Director prior to the start of school. You will receive some English words at registration that your child must learn, and in the interview must show that he/she understands these words. Interviews will be conducted in June and July. No more than two children who do not understand English will be enrolled per classroom. See FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) on the preschool home page for more detailed information.
