General Policies
and Procedures

Parents must accompany their child into the building and to their classroom where our staff will assume responsibility for care. When you arrive at our facility, it is your responsibility to check your child in and out on the centers tablet. Transportation to and from the center is provided by the parents. We do don’t transport children. Exception of bus transportation for the school aged before and after school program as well for the preschool program.

Our Centers program includes scheduled nap times or quiet times each day for all children, infants through preschool. Infants are allowed to nap throughout the day. Quiet activities are provided for children that wake up early from rest time.

Educational field trips and events are planned year-round. These are planned around our monthly theme. Parents will be notified ahead of time. Written parental permission will be obtained from each child’s parent before taking a child on a field trip. (Including walking ones and on-site outdoor picnics.) Parents will be informed of the hours, mode of transportation, and the purpose and destination of the field trip. Staff will take emergency cards (with ER numbers for child’s parents, person to be called if a parent can’t be reached, and child’s doctors), a first aid kid and manual, and attendance records on all field trips. At least one person trained in pediatric CPR and obstructed airways and is up to date on first aid and OSHA will accompany children on field trips.

In the event that you use a backup person to pick up your child, please call the center in advance and instruct this person to show their photo ID upon arrival.

During hours of operation (6:00 am to 6:00 pm) parents/guardians will have access to the facility. Our Center is locked at all times. One key fob to access the building is provided to the families. If someone needs to access the building and does not have a key fob, they will have to ring the bell to be let in. If a key fob is lost, the family needs to notify the center as soon as possible so it can be deactivated. There will also be a $25 fee for any replacement Key fobs.

Be sure to communicate with your child’s teacher in the event that your child will be gone. (If your child hasn’t arrived to his or her room by 9:00, your teacher will mark your child absent for the day.) This will help us plan our day and is especially helpful in planning meals. The more accurately parents and teachers communicate the better it is for all parties involved to better care for your child. We want our children to feel safe and secure with a scheduled routine. Children become more independent and confident moving from one activity to another when we stick to a routine. We plan a daily schedule that takes this goal into account.
