​

Fees and Payment Arrangements:

  The fee is based on enrollment and not attendance. There is a non-refundable registration fee, which secures your child’s spot in our childcare.  You will be required to pay the fee on the 1st day of every month for the following month. So for example, you will be required to pay the fee on the 1st of June for the month of June. You can choose to pay either cash or check.

​

Birthday/Holiday Parties:

 You may bring, if you wish, a small, healthy snack to share for your child’s birthday, but is not mandatory  

 

Supplies Needed at Daycare:

  Parents are responsible for supplying the following items: diapers/pull-ups, wipes, diaper creams, weather-appropriate clothes, and a change of clothes, jacket, and shoes that lace-up or Velcro and/or stay on feet (no flip-flops please), a swimsuit, and sunscreen.

     There is a good possibility your child will get dirty throughout the day because of food, paint, markers, bubbles, etc. So please dress your child accordingly for play. If your child should require a change of clothing, we will send home the soiled clothing and you will need to replace them with clean ones the next day. We greatly appreciate your adherence to this subject, as it helps our and the children's day run more smoothly to have all of his or her necessary belongings with them at daycare. This way we can care for your child in the best possible way.

​

 Cleanliness and Hygiene:

  We do our best to maintain strict cleanliness and hygiene standards. Children's hands are washed before and after  meals 

​

Toilet Training:

  We are more than happy to encourage potty training as long as the child is ready (typically between 2 and 3 years old). The initial start needs to be done at home for at least two weeks with success before it can be effectively started at daycare. Parents will be required to supply pull-ups and wipes. Children will be allowed to come to daycare in cotton training pants/underwear after they have been accident-free for at least two weeks in pull-ups. Communication between parents and the daycare provider is imperative for a successful transition from diapers to toilets.

​

Unauthorized Pick Up: 

  The parent/guardian is required to notify the caregiver in writing if someone else, other than the authorized persons, will pick up the child. Please provide the name, phone number, and description of the person. The person will be asked to show photo identification. If necessary, police will be called for assistance.

 

Custody and Related Court Orders:

  The daycare staff cannot become involved in the marital or custody issues of the families that we serve. If custody or court order exists, a copy of the order needs to be placed in the child's file. The guardian is responsible for providing up-to-date and accurate information concerning the legal guardianship of the child. Without a custody or court order on file, the caregiver cannot deny access to the non-enrolling parent. If the non-enrolling parent is not listed on the pickup list, the policy on unauthorized persons will be implemented. The guardian will provide all consent.
