- Explorers Academy Preschool requires payment in full or enrollment in our automatic monthly flex-payment program by May 15, 2023 preceding your September start date. Payment is due for your registered days despite your family’s attendance or scheduled closings as provided to you in the annual school calendar. There are no refunds for preschool tuition or program deposits. Preschool enrollment is contractual for the entire registered school year.  Please keep in mind that the payment of your program deposit initiates your contractual commitment to the entire school year. If there is no 90-day written notice given prior to your withdrawal from the program due to a critical family illness, an out of city move, or critical documented change in family circumstances; for family's on preschool flex payment plans, the entire amount due for the remaining registered preschool tuition through the end of the school year will remain due by the parent/guardian, and for families who opted to pay upfront tuition for the school year, there will be no refunds of any paid tuition. Explorers Academy Preschool reserves the right to collect all fees due and any collection and/or legal fees will be charged to the parent in the event of debt collection and/or report said indebtedness to the credit bureau and/or military command. Explorers Academy Preschool runs as scheduled per our school’s annual calendar from September through June.  I understand that my tuition will be billed May 15, 2024 through May, 2025 for full or prorated tuition accordingly. Tuition totals will be prorated at 60% of published annual tuition for all students enrolled for a January start date.
