Payment for tuition/fees is exclusively accepted through our tuition software, and it will appear as a draft from your bank by Lincoln Savings Bank.

Absences cannot be compensated by attending on an alternative day.

Invoices will be sent to the parent/guardian’s email on record.

TEXAS EDUCATION FREEDOM ACCOUNTS (EFA)

We’re excited to share that A New Day Child Development Center is an approved preschool provider under the Texas Education Freedom Account (EFA) program, thanks to our accreditation through Texas Rising Star.

Education Freedom Accounts may provide eligible families with state funds to help cover approved educational expenses, including preschool tuition. Eligibility and funding are determined by the State of Texas, and families must apply directly through the program.

We encourage parents to review the information to see if they may qualify. We will continue to share updates as more details become available.

OPEN ENROLLMENT STARTS ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2026

MONTHLY PARENT REMINDERS

SEASONAL ALLERGIES

If your child suffers from seasonal allergies, please be sure to give them their medication before sending them to school. By Childcare Licensing Minimum Standards we are not allowed to let a child stay in class with an uncontrollable cough. You may be asked to pick up your child if you do not give them any medication before sending them to school.

IMMUNIZATIONS:

Please be sure to upload a copy of your child’s immunization file to your child’s Brightwheel profile. Please also submit a current hard copy of your child’s immunization records to your child’s teacher so we can place a copy in the file at school.

NAP MAT REMINDER

All children 18 months and up who sleep on a cot are required to bring a nap mat to school for nap-time.

Nap mats are sent home each Friday to be laundered and should be returned by Monday morning.

Please do not send additional blankets, as classroom cubbies are not large enough to store extra items. Nap mats are designed to keep your child comfortable while also allowing us to keep classrooms organized and sanitary.

Please be sure your child’s nap mat is similar to the one pictured below—a slim, all-in-one style that rolls or folds easily.

Thank you for your help and cooperation! We truly appreciate your support in keeping our classrooms running smoothly.

HEARING & VISION SCREENING

The State requires that all children 4 years and older complete a vision and hearing screening, showing numeric results. This information must be submitted to A NEW DAY CDC to be kept in your child’s file. If your child turns 4 during the school year, you must complete this screening and hand in the report within one week of his/her birthday.

POTTY TRAINING & TOILETING POLICY

Our 2 year to 2.5-year-old students are encouraged to work toward potty training. The teacher and family will implement a “Potty Plan”, when the child shows signs of readiness. When the Potty Plan is put into place, all parties are asked to approach this and be consistent.

Children ages 2.5-years-old must be in pull-ups rather than diapers and be taking steps towards potty training. Please be sure to send the pull-ups that open up on the sides for easy replacement.

Families are responsible for providing all diapers, pull-ups, wipes, creams, etc. for their child. We ask that you make sure that there be ample supplies for your child at school. When your child is running low on supplies, we will send you a reminder to bring the needed supplies to the school.

All children ages 3 and above, should be able and be confident in using the bathroom independently including wiping themselves. Toileting routines at home and school should be as similar as possible. For this reason, we encourage parents to work with their child as much as possible till they have mastered this very important developmental milestone.

All children in classes 3 years and above must arrive in underwear each day and have at least two changes of clothing at school. Please be sure to send clothing that is appropriate for the current weather.

POTTY INDEPENDENCE & TUITION REMINDER

As a reminder, children who are 3 years of age and are still working toward potty independence will remain at the tuition rate for children 2 years and under until they reach this milestone.

Potty independence means being able to use the restroom on their own and stay dry throughout the day without accidents. Once a child is consistently potty independent, their tuition will be adjusted to the appropriate age-based rate.

We understand that every child develops at their own pace and truly appreciate your partnership as we support each child through this important stage.

2026 HOLIDAY SCHEDULE

To ensure the optimal well-being of your child, it is imperative that our staff maintains good physical and emotional health. As our school adheres to a carefully planned budget to fulfill its financial commitments promptly, the following holidays and school closures will be observed as paid holidays. We will provide advance notice through posted memos regarding the specific days these holidays will occur.

In instances where one of these holidays falls on a weekend, the corresponding day off will be observed on either Friday or Monday. Despite the fixed costs averaged over the calendar year, please note that there will be NO reduction in tuition for these scheduled breaks. We encourage you to retain a copy of the calendar below for reference, allowing your family to plan accordingly.
