- What if my child cries and does not want me to leave?
All children and parents feel some anxiety about being in a new environment. Our teachers are “in tune” with these feelings and are ready to comfort your child while you make your exit. Prolonged good-byes generally cause more anxiety for your child.

Sign your child out in the sign-in/sign-out book located in the lobby. Your child will only be released to individuals you have indicated are authorized to pick up your child. This authorization must be in writing.

BEIBEI AMIGOS LANGUAGE PRESCHOOL
Dear BeiBei Amigos parents,
As you know, a child at our school has a serious allergy to nuts, nut products, and peanut butter.
While some food allergies cause upset stomach or mild rashes, nut allergies can cause:
- A severe allergy reaction called anaphylaxis which includes severe swelling of the throat and tongue, difficulty breathing, drop in blood pressure, and if left untreated, death.
- These reactions can occur from eating the offending food, from inhaling the scent, or from having the food touch the skin.
- There is no cure for food allergies, so strict avoidance of the offering foods is key to keeping all children healthy at our center.
BeiBei Amigos is a NUT- FREE ZONE. All areas of the building will be kept nut and peanut butter free including:
- The kitchen
- All candy and food for children and Staff
- Treats brought from home
- Cookies, trail mix, and specially granola bars
- Other necessary areas
Remember that BeiBei Amigos provides two snacks a day. If you should find necessary to bring food from home, please be vigilant in checking labels.
Many thanks in advance for helping us institute this policy.

Financial Guidelines FY2016 - 2017
Payments
Payments are due on the first day of the week/month. There will be a $50 late fee per account per week when payments are delinquent. For the monthly tuition students, it will be considered late on the 3rd of the month. For the weekly tuition students, it will be considered late on Wednesday of the week.
Tuition Increase
We may increase our tuition rates at any time by giving you at least one month’s prior notices.
Supply Fee
A supply fee is due at the beginning of each semester (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer). The current supply fee is assessed at $56/Quarterly.
Returned Check Fee
There will be a $25 service charge applied on all returned checks.
Late Pick-up Charges
BeiBei Amigos closes at 6:00pm. We feel it is unfair to keep our staff beyond this time. If you pick up your child after 6:00pm, there will be a $25 charge for the first 15 minutes the student was left in our care after 6:00pm. There will be a $1 charge per minute any time after 6:15pm. This fee will be added to your billing statement. Frequent late pick-ups may result in termination of enrollment.
If a parent/guardian has not called the school phone number with their whereabouts or has not arrived by 6:30pm the school will call your emergency contacts list in your child’s file. If no one can be contacted by phone then by state law we are required to call the local Police Department or CPS and either government agency will pick up the student. A note will be posted on the Front Office door by the Police Officer or CPS giving instructions as to what substation or CPS office the child has been taken to.
Overtime Charges
Overtime rates are in effect as soon as your expected pick-up time passes or if you are dropping off early.
$5.00/hour for pre-arranged/notified/contracted child care, per child.
$3.50/15 minutes for un-notified, non-contracted child care, per child.
Over time is always rounded up to the nearest 15 minutes. All overtime will be calculated into the next tuition due.
Multiple Child Discount
Bei Bei Amigos offers the following discounts.
A 10% discount is offered on the tuition of the oldest child.
Income Tax Child Care Deduction
Please keep copies of billing statements for Income Tax purposes.
Vacation / Sick days
Regular student attendance means more success for your child. When your child is absent, please call the Director by 9:00am to inform that the student will be absent. Tuition is due for both well and sick days. If your child is absent more than five (5) consecutive days due to a family emergency or serious illness (hospitalization), a note from a doctor is required. At that time, a credit may be issued upon approval from Administration.
Vacation Time Request
BeiBei Amigos requires a two week notice if a student will not be attending school for more than 5 days at a time. In this case BeiBei Amigos will not charge tuition for that week. Each student has two weeks permitted in a school year. Additional vacation time will require $100 deposit to hold student spot or disenrollment/enroll once the students return if there is open spot for enrollment (re-registration fee is required).
Withdrawal Procedure
All withdrawals must be in writing at least two weeks before the last day of school. Tuition charges will continue to accumulate for 14 calendar days following written notice of withdrawal. All accounts are due and payable at the time of withdrawal.
Extra Clothing
Each student is required to bring extra set of clothing to leave in the school. If BeiBei Amigos Language Preschool supplies a student with a type of clothing (pants, shirts and/or underwear) from our student clothing drawer, parents need to return the supplemented clean clothing within one week or there will be a $25.00 charge on your invoice.
