Registration Fee
DEPOSIT
A yearly registration fee of $75 is non-refundable and is payable upon accepting a placement in a Sprouts program.
A prepaid deposit of one month's tuition is required and will be applied as payment towards the final month's tuition of the registered program. In cases where a child has withdrawn mid-program (example: mid-year); the deposit will be applied as payment based on the terms of the program’s withdrawal policy.
Tuition will not be prorated due to a child’s illness or for any absence regardless of length (example: family vacation etc). Tuition will not be prorated for those months with statutory holidays including Family Day, Professional Development Days (Pro-D Days), or in the event of a school closure due to extreme circumstances (example: gas leak) or extreme weather conditions.
Sprouts Early Learning follows the Delta School District Calendar, and therefore will share the same Non Instructional Days.
