Dear Parents,

We've got quite a bit of information in this month's Newsletter, so please take a moment to thoroughly read through it all in order to become aware of a few upcoming changes for the 2019-2020 school year; to include some rate changes and slight modifications to some of our current Trinity programs. You will also find important information on how to secure your child's spot for our Summer Program as well as the next school year should you choose to re-enroll your kiddos for another exciting year with us!

While we understand that some of these changes may impact our Trinity families financially, please know that  much thought, research and consideration was taken into account when evaluating each of our programs and that every effort is made to keep our rates comparable, yet affordable; while still offering our families the best quality of care.  Additionally, please know that these changes have been discussed with and considered by the appropriate Church Administrators as well as with the Child Care Advisory Board before being approved. 

We hope you know how much we appreciate you and thank you for your trust and understanding as we navigate through these changes that we believe to be necessary for not only the betterment of all our programs, but also for the overall center as well as our ever changing and growing community as a whole. 

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding these upcoming changes to our program, or the re-enrollment process, please don't hesitate to reach out to Jami or me.

Thank you!

Kat

Upcoming Changes
Effective June 10, 2019

Full Day Preschool
  • Infant Tuition (6 weeks - 1 year) will increase to $190 per week. 
    • All other Full Day tuition will remain unchanged at this time.
  • As stated at the beginning of this school year, Trinity will no longer offer a Summer Hold Fee. Therefore, ALL students enrolled in the Full Day Program will be required to pay through the summer in order to maintain their spot. 

Half Day Preschool
  • The Half Day rate will increase to $85 per week.
  • While this doesn't affect any of our currently enrolled students, we feel it necessary for you to be aware that Trinity will no longer offer a Half Day Twos Program as interest seems to have diminished over the past several years. However, our Half Day Threes and Fours Programs will continue to operate as normal.

After School Care
  • The Afterschool rate will increase to $85 per week.
  • Beginning in 2020-2021, Trinity will no longer offer care for 7th and 8th graders. Therefore, this will be the last year that 7th and 8th grade students will be accepted.

Summer Camp
  • The Summer Camp rate will increase to $140 per week.
  • Summer Camp spots will be limited to 60 students and will be first come, first served, so please be sure to turn your paperwork back in ASAP in order to secure your spot for the summer program. Field Trips have already been set and curriculum is currently in the works.

Re-Enrollment for 2019-2020

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we are required by DSS to obtain new enrollment paperwork for each child; with the most up-to-date and current information for your family. This also helps us gauge enrollment and plan for any potential vacancies for the upcoming school year. Below you will find further information and deadlines for  re-enrolling your child.

Move-Up Date
  • Children will move up to their new classes on June 10th, 2019.
  • Rising Kindergarten students will enter our Summer Camp Program at this time.

Registration Paperwork
  • Registration packets will be sent home on March 11th and will be due back no later than March 22nd.
  • After this deadline, any remaining spots will then be open to the public, so please be sure to secure your child's spot prior to the deadline!
  • If your child will not be attending Trinity for the 2019-2020 school year for any reason, please notify the office as soon as you are aware.
Registration Fees
  • Registration Fees for the upcoming school year will be due by April 15th, 2019.
  • If you are set up on automatic payments, your registration fee will be automatically drafted from your account on the due date listed above.
