WITHDRAWING

FROM

PRESCHOOL

One full calendar month’s written notice to the president of the preschool is required to withdraw from the preschool. A “Rio Terrace Community Preschool Withdrawal Form” must be filled out and submitted to the president. If you withdraw part way through a month (i.e. January 15th), the next month’s full tuition will be cashed (i.e. February). There will be no refunds for partial months. No refunds will be given after March 1, except in the case a child is moving out of town.

COMMUNITY LEAGUE MEMBERSHIP

As the Preschool is part of the Rio Terrace Community League and is covered under the community league’s insurance policy, a current community league membership (from any community league in Edmonton) is required.
