What are the admission requirements?
Any child from six weeks through 10 years may enroll. Parents must fill out an application for admittance. Immunization records and emergency contact information are required before a child can remain in our care. A medical form signed by a licensed health professional must be returned within 30 days of enrollment.
What are the weekly tuition rates?
Tuition and fees are due in advance or unless other arrangements are made with a Director. We are a non-profit organization on an inflexible budget, so it is necessary that payments be made in a timely manner. Credit is not given when children miss a day during the week. See the current rate sheet (Washington, Chocowinity) for a detailed schedule of fees.
A week's vacation is allowed without pay once per year during which the child does not attend. A written request must be submitted for the vacation week within two weeks of absence.

What meals do you provide during the day?
Care-O-World participates in the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program. This program ensures that your child will receive meals and snacks that are healthy for all children. Furthermore, Care-O-World takes pride in serving “home style” meals that children enjoy. This means that very little fast food (hamburgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, etc.) is served on a regular basis.
Care-O-World serves breakfast, lunch, an afternoon snack, supper*, and an evening snack* daily at the following times:
