 4CCN offers much more to your child than “just play.” It gives him a chance to spend time in a physical environment that is scaled to and planned for him, and where there are a minimum of negative regulations about what he cannot touch or do. At 4CCN he will enjoy a wide
variety of materials, which include, numerous age appropriate toys,
books, music, and art. He will also play with a number of children near
his own age, and he will increase his awareness of the world by learning to understand the richness of things around him.
Enrollment
[For 2012 - 2013] Applications for enrollment are welcome from all children in the community. Application for admission will require a copy of your child's birth certificate, a completed registration form, and a registration fee of $50.00 which is nonrefundable. Also required at the time of registration is the May 2013 tuition (to be held in an escrow-like account until May 2013) which may be refundable providing specific conditions are adhered to. Children enrolled in the program must have reached their second birthday by September 1, 2012; their third birthday by September 1, 2012; or their fourth birthday by September 1, 2012. The Director reserves the right to request withdrawal of any child at any time for reasons deemed necessary by her. Your child's final acceptance into the 4CCN program is conditional upon receipt of the medical form which is due in the nursery office no later than June 1, 2012.
Tuition
[For 2012 - 2013] The tuition for the two-day-a-week program will be $2475.00 annually, which is payable in monthly installments of $275.00, September through April (May is paid at registration).

Your tuition is due the first consecutive Thursday and Friday of each month. Make checks payable to 4 Corners Community Nursery.
If a tuition check is not received on the above dates, there will be a delinquent fee of $20.00 per week. We do not expect you to make a special trip to bring in the tuition if your child is sick. You may mail in your tuition and the date of the postmark will be considered the date of payment. If your check is returned by the bank, fees incurred to 4CCN by the bank will be billed to your account.
Dropouts must give a month's notice. The May 2013 tuition is refundable provided the Director is contacted at least thirty (30) days prior to the withdrawal of your child.
