Admission Policies
The procedure for admission of children into our program is as follows:
1. A registration/waiting list form must be filled out and a $25.00 (per family) fee must be paid.
The registration fee is non-refundable and is used towards the cost of preparing for your child’s
arrival.
2. Once it is determined that space is available, enrollment forms must be filled out and a $75.00
(per family) fee must be paid. This fee is due at the beginning of new enrollment and then
annually during the month of August.
These fees are non-refundable and used towards the cost of purchasing special equipment and
materials that are not typically on hand for art projects, classroom parties, and other special
learning opportunities. In August, when annual fees are paid, the allotted number of Vacation/Sick
Day Vouchers are distributed to qualifying families. (If contracts are signed after the month of
September, all fees and vouchers are prorated to reflect the remainder of months left that contract
period).
3. Prior to the first day of attendance at Great Expectations the following forms must be turned
into the office: Registration form, Enrollment/Emergency contact form, Health History form, a
signed Family Agreement, Emergency Medical Authorization form, all CACFP paperwork, and
Immunization Record. If the child is under the age of two, an intake form must also be completed.
4. If the child is participating in our School Age Program, a School Age Agreement form and
Transportation form must also be completed. Families participating in Wisconsin’s W-2 Child Care
Assistance Program must have completed the above mentioned paperwork and received written
authorization from their caseworker indicating such authorization. Enrollment and attendance does
not begin until all required forms are on file at the Center.
5. A physical form, signed by a health care provider, is due to the office within 30 days of
enrollment Physical forms must be completed every 6 months by a health professional.
Failure to provide this information must result in suspension of care until physical form is signed
and on file at the Center.
6. All required forms must be updated on a regular basis. Children with expired or incomplete
forms must be removed from care until all information is current and forms are correctly
completed. Children’s files are reviewed quarterly to ensure compliance with this procedure.
All information found in children’s files is kept confidential. The only persons with access to this
information are the management, owners, the children’s teacher, the State Licensing Specialist or
other authorized representative with State or Local authority, and parents(s) or guardians(s).
Enrollment of Infants and Toddlers follows the steps stated above. However, our infant/toddler
program also has the following requirements:
1. Families must provide diapers, wipes, extra clothes, and anything else that is indicated on the
Infant/Toddler Checklist.
2. Intake forms must be updated every 3 months and placed in child’s file.
3. Physical forms must be completed every six months by a health professional.
