Enrollment 

A non-refundable commitment fee is payable when a child is enrolled to Joyful Kids Montessori School. No child will be considered enrolled until our office receives the relevant fee. This fee and the signed registration form assure your child of a place in the school for the entry month and year. In all circumstances, if the enrollment is subsequently withdrawn, the fee shall be forfeited. When a child graduates from Joyful Kids Montessori School, the non-refundable commitment fee is transferred to out special fund for purpose of facilities improvement for the benefit of succeeding cohorts. 

Early Withdrawal

Should you decide to withdraw your child during the school year, the official date of withdrawal, for financial considerations, will be based upon the school's receipt of written notification of the last day your child will attend JKMS. You are responsible for payments up to and including three (3) months in which the withdrawal occurs.

Our School is not specially equipped to cater for children with special needs. Entry may be considered on an individual case basis and will be subject to special conditions such as part-time attendance/shorter school hours or/& that the child is fully accompanied by a shadow teacher. Shadow teacher arrangement will incur additional fee.

A $15 late fee is charged on payments that are made after the 10th of each month.

Consistent attendance and timely arrival are very important for your child's progress and social development in the classroom. Please try to plan trips and days off during vacation times. Instances involving consistent tardiness and extended absences (for reasons other than illness) will be brought to the attention of the principal. Keeping the child's best interest in mind, the principal may contact the parents to discuss the situation.

​

Parents Teacher Conferences 

Conferences are scheduled thrice per year and the dates will be posted at least once a week in advance. There is no school on conference days. During the conference, the teachers share information about the child's accomplishments, needs, and goals here at JKMS, and answer questions as time allows. A written report will be provided. 

​

In the case of parents who are divorced or separated, It is our policy to ask both parents to meet with the class directress at the same time, which ensures that the information shared is consistent. It is not mandatory for both parents to attend but two individual conferences will not be scheduled. 

​

Class directress or parents may request for a meeting at any time they feel it is for the best interest of the child to do so.
