Enrolment of Program

The General Director of International Child Care Centres will make the final decision on the placement of the child according to space availability and age. However, the child’s personality and ability is taken in consideration to place the child at his/her best suitable level. This will be done in close counseling with the parents.

Enrolment Fee

The enrolment fee is a non-refundable fee payable upon the mutual acceptance of the admission agreement. The enrolment fee is paid only once per ongoing registration. Should you terminate the registration and at a later date wish to re-enroll, a new enrolment fee is to be paid.

Tuition Fee

Tuition fees can be paid on an annual basis or on term basis. If a child is enrolled after a term has started, the tuition fees will be calculated pro-rata (with a surcharge), according to the commencement date and the contractual engagement.

Refund of Tuition Fee

Parents are held by a termination period of 10 weeks, after hand delivered and written notification and are responsible for payment of tuition fees for these 10-weeks period.
Any excess of fees will be refunded to the parents.
Holidays, sick days and other  days that the child is not attending Smartkids, will not be refunded.

Next Years Enrolment

Without a written notification of termination of your child’s attendance for next “school” year, SmartKids assumes your child will normally join next year. Termination during the holiday period will be seen as termination per the first day of the next “school” year and will be confronted with a standard 10 weeks termination fee.

Payment Terms

Fees are payable in advance, with a payment term of 15 days upon receipt of the invoice. Late payments will be charged with a 10% penalty and may result in exclusion of the child’s attendance.
Should the parent’s employer undertake the payment of the SmartKids fees, such employer should send SmartKids a letter confirming its responsibility and contractual obligation towards SmartKids.
        
* The Terms and Conditions can be unilateral adapted according to company policies.

Note: The Terms and Conditions are applicable for the total period of the child’s attendance at SmartKids and you will only be released from this when submitting a written disengagement/ termination letter.
