Vacation
Families who have been at the center for one year (twelve consecutive months) qualify for one free week of vacation time. A vacation form should be filled out in writing and given to the Director prior to the vacation week. Accounts must be current in order to qualify for vacation time and the child should not attend the center during the week of vacation.
Sign-In and Sign-Out Procedures
Each child is provided a sign-in/sign-out form in their classroom binder. Parents must sign their child(ren) in and out every day, noting the exact time the child arrived or left. Signatures must be legible; if the signature is illegible, the parent will be asked to write their name underneath their signature. NO CHILD IS ALLOWED TO ENTER THE BUILDING UNACCOMPANIED OR WITHOUT BEING SIGNED IN; NO CHILD IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE WITHOUT BEING SIGNED OUT.
Only persons whose names have been provided on the child’s emergency form are allowed to pick up the child. Any time a new person picks up the child (or if the child’s parents are new to the center) we ask that they have a photo ID with them. This policy is for the safety of the children and ensures that only authorized persons pick up a child. If a parent needs to add a pick-up person to his or her child’s emergency form, this must be done in writing or via fax. We CANNOT accept changes over the phone.
Part-Time Spots
On occasion, the center may have part-time spots become available if the numbers in a classroom are low. If a child enrolls in a part-time spot, the child may remain until another parent wants a full-time spot. At that time, parents will have the option to move their child to the full-time spot or withdraw their child.
