Play and Learn offers many different services that varies with your needs and your child's age.  Play and Learn is committed to the total needs of your child.  Please call for
more information or to check for availability.  Our Services include:
Other

Fees are payable for all days a child is scheduled, whether or not he or she actually attends.  Play and Learn regrets that we are unable to offer reductions or
refunds of fees due to vacations, absences, illnesses, missed lunches, or any other causes.  PAYMENT IS REQUIRED to hold your child's spot, which means that
if the child is absent, regardless of the reason, the parent is still billed for that time.  Unforeseen circumstances do take place that can cause undue hardship on a
family.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help, as we are more than willing to work with your family's situation in times of stress.  Discounts and
special rates are available, click here to see if you qualify.
For preschool students, if a school holiday falls on one of your scheduled days, then the rate will be reduced for that week.  If the entire week is a school holiday
(examples include Spring Break and Christmas Break), then no tuition fees apply for those weeks.
Waiting list:  In the event  that a program is full, parents may elect to apply for the next term by paying the fee for the initial registration fee in advance.  Early
registration dates are as follows:
  • Term I ~ beginning July 1st,
  • Term II ~ beginning November 1st,
  • Term III ~ beginning April 1st
Either the parent or the center may terminate care with a written two-week notice.  If a parent chooses NOT to give the required notice, they will still be charged for
the full two-week period.  See your contract for more information.
Fees are due in advance for the week via cash, check, or money order to Play and Learn.

Supply List

Please supply the following items of your choice yearly or as needed:  a backpack or bag to carry their personal items, an extra change of clothes, a small comb or brush,
tooth paste and a toothbrush with a cover.  In addition, please supply diapers or Pull-ups until your child is completely toilet trained and a child seat or booster seat per the
current Texas state law.

Also, we will be doing many art projects and need donations of the following items to recycle into projects:  paper tubes, old magazines, plastic lids & bowls (like from
margarine / butter), fruit baskets, scraps of office paper, plastic soda bottles, Pringle's Chips Cans, CDs (free AOL CDs etc), small milk cartons or jewelry boxes, and any
other similar items.
Enrollment Requirements
An initial registration conference and tour is required to discuss policies and procedures of the school, and answer any questions you may have about the program.  Once
the Registration fee has been paid, we will provide the appropriate forms for enrollment.  Parents are encouraged to bring their child to the conference/tour to meet school
staff and become familiar with the classroom and playground equipment.  Most children feel much more comfortable in the program having had this initial short visit while
the parent is with him or her.  Please plan to spend about 45 - 70 minutes during this visit.

Play and Learn has a limited enrollment space due to low teacher to student ratios.  Students will be enrolled in the order that completed registration forms and fees are
received.  Play and Learn requires that all students who enroll must:
Be at least 18 months old by the day of the month that they are enrolling and be able to be separated from parent (for preschool only).
Be current on all immunizations and must provide a current copy to be filed as needed.
Completely fill out and return all required forms (at least 2 days prior to start date) and pay your curriculum fee (at least 5 days prior to start date)

Play and Learn charges a registration fee and a curriculum fee to help keep our tuition costs low.  These fees help to off-set the cost of supplies used, personal work books, text books, licensing, and other related fees.   This also provides your child with a t-shirt yearly.  Please visit the
Pre-Registration page for information on this fee or
to pre-register.  Visit the
enrollment information page and click on the Term that your child will be attending for more information about each Term.

Admissions

Admission is open to children without discrimination on the basis of political affiliation, religion, race, color, gender, income, mental or physical disabilities on a first come,
first served basis.  For preschool services, children must be from 2 - 6 years of age.  We also provide day care and after school services for children ages 6 weeks to 13
years old.

After completing a
pre-registration form and visiting to the school, each family may apply for admission by completing and returning an application form.  An assessment
will be made after a child spends one to two weeks at Play and Learn and a provisional place may be offered.  First priority in program placements is given to currently
enrolled children and their siblings.
day care from 6:30 AM - 7:00 PM.  These children benefit from the preschool classes in addition to receiving day care services.
preschool classes from 8 AM to 12 PM.  Each day includes a custom, theme based curriculum, computer aided learning, and more in three terms with 5 reporting
periods, newsletter, and Kid's Night.  Most of the area preschools charge monthly tuition rates between $250 to $700 that parents pay even when there is only 1
class day or 10 classes in a month due to school holidays.  At Play and Learn, we do not charge a high monthly rate or for school holidays.  Therefore,  you only pay
for the services you actually schedule instead of paying a monthly rate that is the same even when there are less school days.  Click here to see why your child
should attend Play and Learn over one of the other area preschools.
before and after school care (Press Elementary)  Our morning care includes a buffet style breakfast and center activity schedule.  Our afternoon schedule
includes a snack and provides for home work assistance, computer use, fun and games, and more.
