September 2026 Parent Information

Dear Families,

As we welcome the beautiful fall, we wanted to share a few important reminders with all of our families.

For the safety of all children and staff, glass containers or glass bottles are not permitted at the center. Please make sure that lunches and other items brought from home are packed in safe, non-glass containers. We appreciate your help in keeping our center a safe environment for everyone.

Our parent-teacher conferences will begin in October. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teachers, discuss their progress and development, and share any questions or goals you may have. More information regarding conference dates and sign-ups will be shared later this month.

Grandparents day is Wednesday September 23rd from 9-10am. Please RSVP and let us know how many grandparents will be attending. Look for invitations coming soon to share with Grandparents. Last year we had close to 50 grandparents in attendance!

Monday September 7th we will be closed for Labor Day. Please let Alise and Audrey know if your child will be absent any days around the Holiday.

Reminders from the Office:

  • Our cut off time to drop off children is 9:30am each morning. If your child has an appointment and will not be at school by 9:30am please check in with the directors.

  • If your child is going to miss a day please email or give us a call.

  • For those of you who are on Facebook go and like our Facebook page. (Noah’s Ark Child Development Centers Inc.)

Tuition Reminders:

  • Weekly tuition is due on Monday or Tuesday each week. Monthly tuition is due the first of each month. Please pay weekly tuition no later then Tuesday and monthly tuition no later then the first week of the month in order to avoid $20 late fee. If tuition is not paid your child will be unable to attend until your account is current. There are 5 weeks in the month of September. If paying monthly please multiply the weekly rate by five. As always if you have questions regarding tuition please feel free to stop in the office.

  • Tuition is due regardless of absent, illness, or vacation days. If your child has been absent, tuition can be paid on the first day that your child returns to the center.

  • Subsidy Co-pays are always due every other week. Please make sure your co-pay is paid by August 31st, September 14th, & September 28th.
