The first steps away from home are made comfortable, with caring adults who are trained to meet your child's individual needs - in a safe, healthful environment. We feel children learn best in a low-key, non-pressured environment. Our teachers provide activities that allow for optimum development of a child's IMAGINATION, INITIATIVE and AUTONOMY. We feel these areas of development need to be utilized to the maximum during the years from three to six.   Lunch and Play We offer a fun-filled afternoon of extended play. Children have an opportunity to stay an extra one or two hours. Children bring their own lunch and are provided with many different play opportunities. Lunch and Play is $8 per hour or $15 for 2 hours.   Fees Tuition is paid by the month and is due the first of each month. We do not bill. An annual non-refundable registration fee of $100, and the first month's tuition, is due prior to enrollment.   When a child is enrolled we assume it is for the entire school year. If he/she must be taken out of school a one month notice is required.     Registration Priority registration for the following school year begins in January. This is for children already enrolled in the school. On February 1st, we go to our waiting list and mail out postcards to those families who are on the waiting list and have toured the school.     Policy Bethlehem Community Preschool is a non-profit organization sponsored by the Bethlehem Lutheran Church.
