BIM’s Children’s House for toilet trained students ages 2.5 – 6 years is offered as a year-round 12-month program with varying schedules available during our each academic year. Our next academic year runs from August 2023 through August 2024.
School Hours & Tuition*
BIM is open from 8:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday with schedule and hour options listed below. A consistent routine and schedule best serve your child’s overall developmental progress, so we do not offer partial week schedules. Tuition fees can be paid in full on the first day of the school year with a 5% discount (for mid-year start dates, 50% of school year tuition must remain) or in 10 monthly installments between September and June.

School Holidays & Breaks
BIM is closed 1 week for Thanksgiving, 2 weeks for winter recess, 1 week for spring recess, and 2 weeks in August for teacher in-service week. The first Friday of each month is also generally a 3pm dismissal day in order for our team to hold staff meetings. All other school holidays and early dismissal days are noted on the academic calendar, which is included in the enrollment packet upon acceptance.
Payments
Unless requested, all fees are conducted through an online FACTS account, which you will register for upon acceptance.
Extended Care Options and Late Fees
Due to licensing regulations, space is limited for extended care after 3pm. Registration is based on a first-come, first-served basis.
Pre-arranged drop-in extended care (3-6pm) for enrolled students is $40 and must have at least 24 business hours notice with confirmation from staff.
The end of the day late pick-up fee is $1 cash per minute after your child's pickup time, payable to the staff member/s who stayed with your child.
