School Policies
Open Door Policy
You are more than welcome to come and go as your please. You are free to drop off or pick up your child any time during the day. You are also welcome to come visit, eat lunch, and go on field trips with your child’s class.
Orientation & Transition Week
You will have an opportunity to view the facility during your tour, we will introduce you to the staff and show you around the center. Along with your registration forms, you will receive a new enrollment checklist that Nikki or Ginger will go over with you before your child starts. Your child’s teacher will give you more direction and guidance. You are more than welcome to stay as long as you would like to make sure your child is comfortable in his/her new environment or call and check on them as often as needed.
The week before your child’s start date, we can arrange for you and your child to visit the center. This helps yourself and your child get to know the center, teachers, and routines. This is also the time to turn in all paperwork and go over any questions you may have.
Arrival & Pick-Up
We do not allow any child to leave the center with anyone than the child’s parent or persons listed on the enrollment form. If there is anyone other than you picking up your child, the center must be notified. When dropping off your child, personally bring him/her into the building, sign him/her in and make contact with the teacher. Likewise, when picking up your child let the teacher know that you and your child are leaving and sign him/her out. Please check your child’s cubby every day. Information from teachers, the director, newsletters and children’s work are placed in the cubby.
If your child will not be in attendance please call and let your child’s teacher know. Also, if we pick-up your child from public school we must be notified if she/he will not need to be picked up. There is a $2.00 late fee for every 2 minutes after 5:45. Please make sure to pick your child up on time.
