Statement of Non-Discrimination
Little Miracles admits students regardless of race, color, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students of the school. Little Miracles reserves the right to select students based on academic performance, religious commitment, and personal qualifications, including a willingness to cooperate with the school and to abide by its policies.
Facility Hours
Little Miracles Learning Center has many different programs that serve the families of the community, offering a half day preschool, full-day Kindergarten, full-time daycare, and extended care program. We take ages starting at 6 weeks to 12 years.
Our facility opens at 7:00 am and closes at 6:00 pm Monday-Friday.
We try to remain open most of the year for those parents that work, but any closed days will be known in advance. If Little Miracles is closed or needs to open late due to inclement weather, you will be notified on the Brightwheel app. All children that attend the half-day preschool or the full- time daycare will participate in our preschool session from 9:00 am – 12:15 pm. Those attending full-day will continue on for lunch at 12:15 when the preschool program is concluded. We ask that all parents be respectful of the facility hours. There is a late fee charged for late pick-ups at the end of the day. The late charge for daycare or extended care pick-up begins at 6:01pm and is $1.00 per minute after that per child. An additional $25 on top of the $1 per minute will be added every 15 minutes after 6:30 pm. Please keep in mind that our staff members have families to get home to and we all appreciate prompt pick-ups.
*Phone calls to notify of late arrival will not exempt a late fee charge. Accounts will be billed accordingly.
For the safety of your child(ren), parents are asked to sign their student out at pick-up each day. This helps us especially during the busiest pick-up times in the afternoon. Thank you!
To prevent unnecessary accidents, parents are asked to accompany their child(ren) from vehicle to facility and facility to vehicle. Do not allow your child the freedom to run or roam the building or parking lot. Little Miracles will not be held liable for accidents, incidents, or injuries that may occur to children who are not under the care of Little Miracles staff. When children are released from the class to parents/guardians, they are no longer under the care of the LM staff.

Enrollment Procedures
Parents may pick up child care applications and forms from the facility during regular hours (7:00 am to 6:00 pm). Upon confirmation of enrollment into the program, the $50 registration fee ($100 fee for kindergarten students) and the first month’s tuition will be due. The registration fee and 1st month’s tuition is nonrefundable and will serve as a security deposit to secure a child’s space in our facility.
Parents are required to sign a Parent Handbook agreement stating they have read and agree with all policies and regulations in our handbook. Parents must also submit a current immunization report if not listed in the state database (IRIS) no later than the first day of enrollment. Immunization reports are required as the child receives updates. It is the responsibility of the parent to report to the Director any change of address, telephone numbers (home or work), employment, emergency contact person, and/or medical information.
Re-enrollment fee of $50 is charged when a child is dropped from the program by the parent or facility and re-enrolled at any given time within the same year. Also, a child will be dropped from the program if a child has missed 30 consecutive days with no communication. If parents wish to continue services, and if the slot is still available, the $50 re-enrollment will be requested upon entering the program.
Ensuring Quality Care
*WE ARE A PEANUT FREE FACILITY*
For the safety of all our students, please do not send any form of peanuts (including peanut butter and peanut oil) with your child. This will require parents to check labels to become familiar with where peanuts hide. Any treats that are sent to school for a child’s birthday or other occasion must be prepackaged and not contain any form of peanuts. Please contact the Director with any questions you might have regarding our peanut-free facility!
