Fees
The Athens Municipal Creche
Administrative Board determines fees
Parents must pay fees within the
first five days of each month. Fees are compulsory for the entire period
starting from the date of the child's registration through July 31
Fees which have been paid are not
reimbursed in the case of the child being withdrawn from care
Withdrawal of children
Children
are withdrawn in the case where:
The child has a serious contagious
illness. The child may return to the centre following documented treatment and
certification by a pediatrician
The child or guardian files a
request which states the reason for withdrawal
The child does not attend the
childcare centre for more than 30 consecutive days without due reason, and
following written notification by the institution
Parents consistently fail to
comply with the programme and operational conditions of the childcare centre
The child reaches the legal age
for school registration (at the end of the school year)
Parents do not pay the requisite
fees for a period of more than 20 days without a serious reason, once they have
been informed of the amount owed
If
a child is withdrawn (except in the case of illness), they lose the right to
priority registration for the following school period.
Participation of parents
The active participation of parents is
considered essential to the efficient operation of childcare centres,
therefore, attendance at parents' meetings - which aim to raise awareness of current
educational and psychological issues - is obligatory.
