Yes, parents must notify the office if someone other than the designated person is picking up their child. If the person is unknown to staff, a photo I.D. will also be required.
Advance notice by e-mailing your child's teacher and the office is ok. However, if it is for the same day a phone call is requested as e-mail is not checked frequently. If the person is unknown to staff, a photo I.D. will also be required.
Children in the Two Year Old Class do not have to be potty trained. These children are in various stages of training-parents and teachers work together to decide when is the right time for each child.
Children in the Three and Four Year Old Classes must be self sufficient when using the restroom. We recommend clothing that is easy for children to manage by themselves which helps foster their independence.
Children should wear closed toe shoes for their safety. They will practice gross motor skills such as walking on a balance beam, climbing, skipping, etc. Shoes that are secure on their feet allow the children to practice these skills safely.
If your child brings something to nap with, the item should fit easily in their book bag along with their artwork, newsletters, extra set of clothing, etc.
Do I pay for days that my child is scheduled if he/she does not attend?
During the school year, schedules are set. A "set schedule" is the hours/days of attendance that is completed at the time of enrollment. In order to maintain proper staff ratios and decrease staff turn over, charges apply to all families for days the center is open.
