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.
