How may we help?

How do I enroll my child?

The first and most important step is to tour our center. We love to help! Be sure to bring your child with you so you to meet our teachers and check out all we have to offer. Please be sure to take this time to share any concerns and ask questions. If you feel ECEC is a good fit, the next step is enrollment.
When are enrollment forms due?

The “Enrollment Form” and “Health History Form” are due before your child’s first day.
Why is a schedule slip needed when my child will be absent?

The State of Wisconsin requires all childcare centers to monitor children’s absences.
Will I receive an invoice?

ECEC does not do paper invoicing. Parents have online access to your account to view charges and pay online and account balances are displayed each time you log in or out.
How is my weekly tuition calculated?

Set schedules and a rate category will be determined upon enrollment. Each family submits a weekly schedule and tuition is determined based on the rate category. Tuition amounts are posted to your family account on a weekly basis. If your child does not attend on a scheduled date for any reason, you are still responsible for the weekly tuition.
What are tuition credits?

ECEC offers one sick day per month. Sick days can be used for any reason but cannot be accumulated. Advance notice is required to use a sick day.
What does my child need for the first day?

There are several items needed: a change of clothing to be kept at ECEC boots a blanket and pillow (if your child takes naps) a favorite napping friend (e.g., stuffed animal)
Does ECEC provide lunch?

ECEC does not provide a lunch; families will need to pack a lunch for their child. However, ECEC does provide milk, silverware, and napkins. We also have a microwave to warm up hot lunches. If a lunch is needed, ECEC will provide a healthy, basic lunch and charge your account accordingly.
Does ECEC provide snacks?

ECEC provides one morning and one afternoon snack, provided your child has no dietary restrictions. We accommodate a variety of special dietary needs.
