Enrollment Info

Deposit and Registration Fee

We require a $25 registration fee and a $200 deposit to hold your child's spot. The deposit is credited to your account for tuition. These are non-refundable. 

Tuition

Tuition is due by 8am Monday and must be paid by time of drop off. Failure to pay on time may result in a late fee of $20. Late fees will be charged after the child is dropped. All returned checks will have a $30 return fee plus a $20 late fee. ***If a check is returned, checks will no longer be accepted. Only cash or money orders will be accepted as forms of payment!***

Late Pick Up

A $20 late fee will be assessed for every 5 minutes a child stays after closing. This fee will be applied to each child remaining in the program. Please call the program ASAP if you know you are going to be late. Late fees will still be assessed. 

Schedules

A minimum of 2 days per week is required. Set days and times must be contracted before the first day of care. Long-term changes to schedules are not guaranteed and are based on availability. ***Infant spots at the Hermantown location are full time only! 

Brightwheel

All your child's daily activities can be seen on your phone! Laugh & Learn uses Brightwheel to track bottles, meals, diaper changes, naps and more! Once your child is enrolled, you will get a text/email notification. Simply download the app and sign in. You can even send messages to the director and your child's teacher. 

Meals and Snacks

Laugh & Learn will provide breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack, catered by Chickadee Catering. All food items provided by Chickadee are balanced and nutritious meals for children. Laugh & Learn is required to follow the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program guidelines. 

Meal times: Breakfast - 9am, Lunch - 12pm, Snack - 3pm

We are not able to accommodate serving meals before the scheduled time. If a child arrives more than 10 minutes after a scheduled meal time, he/she must be fed prior to drop off. 

Curriculum/Parent Aware

Laugh & Learn programs are 4 Star Parent Aware Rated. The Learn Every Day curriculum is used as a basis for creating lesson plans. We also use 2 different assessment tools to evaluate children twice a year. The Ounce Scale is used to evaluate infants and toddlers and Work Sampling is used to assess preschoolers.
