HOURS
The Mother’s Day Out (MDO) program is a non-profit ministry each Tuesday and Thursday. We offer an extended day program from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or a regular day program from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children age 8 weeks through Pre-Kindergarten are eligible for this program. Please let the director know which program you would like to be enrolled in.
REGISTRATION FEE
A non-refundable annual fee of $40 per child will be charged. This fee is paid when a parent enrolls his/her child. A paid registration fee will ensure your child’s place in a class.
SUPPLY FEE
A supply fee of $15 will be collected in October and April of each year. This fee will help offset the cost of materials for the Mother's Day Out program.
LATE FEE
Parents who fail to pick up their child promptly at the scheduled time will have a $1 per minute late fee assessed to their account.
CANCELLATIONS
If your child does not plan to attend MDO for any reason, a cancellation should be made by Monday or Wednesday. You may do this by calling Lindsey Harrison in the church office. Payment must still be made in the case of an absence.
DROP-INS
If your child is on the drop in list, requests must be made by Monday or Wednesday before MDO. You may do this by calling Lindsey Harrison in the church office. If there is an opening in your child’s room, you will be charged for that day. There is a $30 per day fee for drop ins.

CLOSINGS
From time to time, MDO will be cancelled for holidays, workshops for workers, planning days, vacation time, or special church functions. You will be notified in advance when the closings will take place. If you have already paid your tuition for one of these days, you will be credited appropriately. Anytime the Jonesboro Public Schools are closed due to snow or ice, MDO will be cancelled. MDO will also coincide with Spring Break holidays for Jonesboro Public Schools.
PARENTS OF CHILDREN IN MDO
Making sure that your child is protected while you are away is very important. To be absolutely safe, you should provide the director with the name of anyone other than yourself who will be picking up or dropping off your child. This should be done in writing. Please also note the enclosed form for emergency medical treatment should you be unavailable for contact.
Unless a child’s injuries are life threatening, hospital personnel and physicians cannot treat your child without parental/guardian consent. As a result, your child may suffer unnecessarily while waiting to treat a cut or set a broken bone.
PLEASE FILL OUT A SEPARATE FORM FOR EACH CHILD TO AVOID THIS SITUATION!
