Registration for the 2024-25 preschool year is now open! To begin the registration process, please contact info@pommedapi.org and provide your child’s birth date and the class you are interested in.

Completing the online registration form will take 15 to 30 minutes. Please read the following information carefully before filling out and submitting the form. You will need the following documents ready to upload during the registration process:

REGISTRATION FEE AND TUITION DEPOSIT

After your child’s registration is accepted, the registration fee and tuition deposit become due. They will be paid through the online account you set up for registration. You will receive an email notification instructing you to log into your account and choose a payment method:

• If you choose bank account withdrawals, the preschool will cover the processing costs.

• If you choose credit card, a service charge of ~3.7% will be added to cover processing costs.

After inputting your payment information, you will need to go to the Enrolment page of your account to confirm your payment method.

ADDITIONAL REGISTRATION ITEMS

To complete registration, you will also need to deliver these physical items to the preschool:

• 2 print copies of the Emergency Consent Form with a wallet-sized photo clearly showing your child

• 1 individual photo of your child (print copy to be posted in the classroom)

• 1 baby photo of your child (print copy to be posted in the classroom)

• 1 family photo (print copy to be posted in the classroom)

• Emergency comfort kit (optional). The preschool is equipped with supplies in case of earthquake, power outage, and other emergencies. A comfort kit supplements these supplies. Please place items in a ziplock bag and label with your child’s name. Suggested items include pictures (e.g., family picture, pet, home), a notepad, small markers or pencil crayons, a small stuffy, toy, or game. Do not include food, medication, crayons (they will melt in the storage bin), and items that do not fit in the ziplock bag.

Withdrawal

probationary period for new students

Within the first few weeks of a child’s entry into preschool, teachers and parents can work together to determine whether the preschool is the right fit for their child, and whether the child is adapting well to the preschool environment. After consultation, if the teachers deem the preschool not to be a fit for the child or find that the child would benefit from a delayed entry into preschool, a family can withdraw their child from the preschool by notifying the registrar and filling out the provided online form. If this occurs during the first 6 weeks of enrolment, the tuition deposit may be refunded. (This policy does not apply to returning students and does not apply to withdrawals that occur prior to a student starting to attend classes).

Regular withdrawal

A family who is withdrawing their child from the preschool is required to give one calendar month’s written notice by contacting the registrar and filling out the provided online form (e.g., notice must be received by April 30 if a child will be withdrawn for June). If a family provides this advance notice of withdrawal, their tuition deposit will be applied to the child’s final month of preschool. Otherwise, the tuition deposit will be forfeited.
