Signing In and Out
Each child must be signed in and out every
day by someone over the age of 18. Identification will be
checked on every person picking up your child that is not
familiar to our staff. You must have on file the name of every
person you intend to pick up or we will not permit your child to
leave the center with that person.
If you need to pick your child up for a mid
day appointment, you must sign-out and back on upon returning to
school. Please inform your child’s teacher know in advance of
any mid day appointments.
If there is a custody situation, we must
have on file the court order prohibiting someone from taking the
child from the facility.
Late Pick Up
If your child is picked up late from
daycare (after 6:15 PM), a late fee is assessed. Staff will not
engage you about your reason for being late. They will send a
“Late Pick-Up” slip to the bookkeeper and you will be billed.
Late fees are $10.00 for every 10 minutes per child (example: if
you arrive at 6:01 PM your late fee will be $10.00. If you
arrive at 6:11 PM the fee will be $20.00).
Discipline
Our belief is that redirection is MORE
effective that ‘time out’. One of our goals is to reinforce the
child’s self esteem and self-control. If there is a discipline
problem, the child is steered toward another activity that s/he
can take part. In some cases, children are given a ‘time out’
where they sit out for a short period of time to ‘cool off’. In
extreme cases where the child is harming him/herself or other
children, or shows flagrant disrespect for teachers, the parent
is called to pick the child up. If the problem continues after
parent/staff intervention, we may request that the child be
permanently removed from our program.
