【推荐3】The Future Stars

General introduction

The Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profi（非营利的）service center for child development devoted to（致力于） providing quality child care in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our funds mainly come from public donations（捐赠）.

A healthy curiosity about learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most Important time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling.

Hours of operation

Childcare will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday （except for holidays）. Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm. Should an emergency arise, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements（安排）. A late charge of $ 1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 pm. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival, not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center.

Parking

Dropping off and picking up your child can be made from the two main areas, Spring Street and Seventh Street. Parking is free for parents coming to visit their children in our center. Please do not leave your purse or valuables in your car and be sure to lock your vehicle.

Tuition（学费）

When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration（注册） fee of $200 per child.
