Please notify us if your child will be absent to save us undue
concern.
We do honor a free 2 week vacation once a year. (Twice
Monday thru Friday). There is no fee for this time, provided the
school has been notified in advance. School age children are offered
an additional 2 weeks in the summer.
We will be closed on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

If the Holiday:
Falls on a Saturday,

There is no reduction
in tuition fees due to fixed costs.
The weekly contracted tuition will still be due.

|
Registration is charged each August.
If a child is re-registered within a period of four weeks, the
full tuition fee for the missed time will be charged as the re-registration
fee.
|
|
| |
| For staff planning reasons, your child must only attend
the days agreed with the school. Days cannot be made up if your
child is absent on his/her regular days. Days can only be
changed with prior notification of the school. (Also see Absences
and Vacations) |
|
| |
| We observe your child's development and behavior closely.
You will receive 2 written evaluations or progress reports throughout
the year. A conference request form is attached to these reports,
but we are always here to discuss any matter concerning your child's
well-being. |
|
| |
| We love celebrating birthdays and every effort is made
to make this a very special day for your child. Please consult the
Director regarding any special catering arrangements. Of course, you
are invited to participate! |
|
| |
| You will need to purchase a 2" mat for nap-time
and replace it as needed. They can usually be purchased in the school. |
|
| |
| Your child should wear clothes appropriate for
our daily activities. Your child will go outside every day
and will enjoy painting, sand and water play, clay modeling, etc.
We cannot be responsible for the condition of their clothing. We have
overalls for extra messy activities. Open-toed sandals are not suitable
for outdoor play. We recommend that you select shoes with velcro
closings until your child is old enough to begin to learn to tie his
or her shoes. Young children enjoy trying to do things for
themselves and velcro makes this easier. Please supply us with a complete
change of labeled clothing in a zip-loc bag. |

Discipline is based upon positive reasons for respecting one another
and being safe. We praise good behavior and redirect unacceptable
behavior, giving clear explanations. We have simple, understandable
rules and adults are firm, supportive, and consistent in helping
children follow them.
If, despite help and redirection, an unacceptable behavior continues,
the child will be removed from his or her activity. The child must
remain in vision of the teacher and will sit in a chair away from
the other children for a short period of time. The length of time
will be appropriate to the child's behavior and age.
Elementary students will follow the same procedure. If a second
warning given is ignored, then they may be asked to write sentences
concerning their behavior. These will go home for the parents to
see. In severe cases of misbehavior, a child may have to be withdrawn
from a field trip or suspended for the day.
We do not believe in corporal punishment.

| |
| Please escort your child into the building,
sign in, and then take your child to his or her caregiver. We ask
that a preschool child is never left unattended. Please always
notify the caregiver of your child's arrival. Please also be sure
to let your child's caregiver know when you leave. This is
not just for security reasons, we need those goodbye hugs! A child
will not be released to a person who has not been authorized by a
parent to pick up his or her child. To ensure maximum safety for the
children, we have a computerized check in and out system. Each person
authorized to pick up your child will have their own code to enter
the building. Please do not be offended if we ask you for identification. |
|
| |
| We are contracted with the USDA Child Nutrition program.
Nutritious meals are prepared for the children and will always contain
the four basic food components. Menus are posted for your review (click
here for the weekly meal schedule) and you are welcome to take
a copy home. Please supply an alternative meal if your child
may not eat what we are offering. Please let us know of any allergies
your child may have. |
|
| |
| (For Sea Lions and Einsteins) |
| |
| We would like to take your child on regular excursions
during preschool hours. You will be notified of any such trips beforehand.
Trips will be well supervised and all precautions will be made for
the safety and well-being of your child. We ask you not to give
your child money for treats, as this causes problems for those
children who do not bring money. Of course you are invited to participate!
Children will be transported in mini-vans equipped with seat belts. |

Within 30 days of enrollment, you must provide us
with DCF FORMS 3040 and 680 (proof of up-to-date immunizations and
a physical exam within the last two years). Please keep us up to
date with any new inoculations.
If your child shows any symptoms of illness during the day, he
or she will be immediately isolated from the others and you will
be contacted.
PLEASE use good judgment as to when you should keep your child
at home. Please see our Health and
Safety Policy.
If we cannot contact you, we will take your child to your physician
or hospital if we feel it is necessary.

maximum of the amount insured. |
