Tuition is due one month prior to the first day of the upcoming quarter except first quarter. Tuition must be paid via check, cash, or through Zelle. We cannot process tuition payments via credit card, PayPal, etc.
First-quarter tuition is due July 1, 2019.
During the school year, please put your tuition payment in the Treasurer’s lock box, located on the northwest wall in the main school hallway. Make checks payable to “Community Preschool” and add your child’s name and class in the memo of the check to ensure correct credit to your account. For example: Silly Willy, Martinez MWF 4s.
If tuition is paid after the due date, a $5.00 fee will be assessed. If tuition is more than 10 days late, a $10 fine will be assessed. If tuition is 30 days past the due date, a fine of $30.00 will be incurred. Tuition and incurred fees must be paid before the first day of the upcoming quarter, or your child will not be allowed to attend classes, and your child’s class placement will be forfeited. A family cannot re-enroll or register for the following year unless all tuition is paid and/or penalties are paid. Please contact the treasurer if you are unable to make the payments as scheduled. Community Preschool, Inc. reserves the right to use all board-approved legal means to pursue monies owed.
