I went to this school and filled out what I thought was the paper work to enroll my child into a VPK program knowing I would have to pay out of pocket $270.00 per mo. Because my child would attend 3 hours per wk. Over the VPK 15 hour requirement which is free and paid for through the state.
The school asked my to put a $300.00 deposit to hold my child's spot and had me fill out the enrollment paper work at that time. I signed a contract saying that the deposit was non refundable. Which at the time was fine I had every intention of him going to preschool there.
Some time latter I received a packet in the mail with more contracts one of them said that they required me to pay the full year tuition even if my child did not like it or had to be withdrawn for whatever reason they still want me to pay them.
I called and explained that it was against my principals to sign such a contract because If I withdrew him for what ever reason I did not want to be responsible to pay them for the entire year.
I myself have a private preschool and would never make someone give a deposit and then ask them to sign such a contract after taking their money. It is unethical and flat out deceitful. The owner is refusing to give me my deposit back and I told her that I would fight for the principal of it.
