The recipient must meet the same requirements as all private-paying families, including completion of licensing paperwork, consistent attendance, and adherence to school policies and behavior standards.

We reserve the right to withdraw the award and discontinue enrollment if a child or parent does not uphold these expectations, but our goal will always be to work together toward a positive and cooperative relationship.
