PAYMENT FOR EXTENDED DAY LUNCH PROGRAM
All families participating in the lunch program will be billed in advance on the trimester basis for this program. Due to the complicated nature of enrollment in Extended Day, it is not possible to pay in any other manner.
Applications for the lunch program were distributed in April as part of the initial enrollment packet. The first lunch payment was billed the first week in June and due on the first day of camp (June 21 for 2010). The second and third trimester payments are due November 1 and February 1. Failure to make a lunch payment by November 10 or February 10 will result in a late fee and the child may be dropped from the lunch program.
Families who are accepted into the lunch program or add days of lunch during the school year will receive an invoice within a week. Failure to pay by the due date specified on the bill will result in the child automatically being dropped from lunch.

An important part of Cherry Preschool’s community outreach effort is to make the preschool accessible to all families regardless of their ability to pay. Cherry Preschool does everything in its power to support its families and keep in school all children who are part of the preschool community. Guidelines and applications for financial assistance are available in the preschool office and here on our website. All required forms must be turned in with the application by the registration deadline. Families are notified of their awards at the time of placement. For applications turned in after the deadline, awards are made on a first come, first served basis within the limitations of the school’s budget and fundraising ability. Decisions are made by the Director and Financial Manager and all requests for assistance are kept confidential.
