What is the Drop Off / Pick Up Routine Like?
Upon arrival at the beginning and end of the day, you will sign your child in/out on their class roster.
We keep an Authorized Pick Up list for each child. You provide the names of all individuals allowed to take your child, and are able to add names as needed. Newly authorized pick-ups must show I.D.
How are children transported outside of the classroom during the day?
The rosters track the number of children in each classroom, and ensure that all children are present as the group travels from place to place.
When do I keep my Child home?
Deciding when to keep a sick child at home from school is not always easy. But when a child is truly sick, they need to stay home in the care of an adult to get well and to prevent spreading illness to others. Reference our Health, Illness, and Communicable Disease Management Policy for specific guidelines.
What programs are available once my child reaches School Age?
Once your child has graduated from Childcare, we have several programs for them to join! From Before and After School Care, and Kinder Krew, to our Camp Wydaca, children of all ages have a place they belong.
