How do you Group Children?
We typically determine the placement of your child based on age; however, we consider many other factors upon deciding the makeup of a classroom. Such factors would include boy-to-girl ratio, different personalities, age, readiness, social-emotional development, etc.

Electronic notes are emailed to parents daily. These daily notes include information such as the mood of the child, the amount of food/lunch the child ate, books read, songs and music sang, diapering and potty schedule, activities, outdoor playtime, etc. We send pictures and even videos to parents!
What are your health policies?
Our health policy is designed to protect and promote children’s health. Our center keeps a healthy and safe environment. Children with symptoms of a contagious illness should not attend school. Examples: measles, mumps, chicken pox, head lice, pink eye, coronavirus, and colds. Children experiencing unusual irritations, loose stools, sore throat, runny nose, rash, irritation of the eyes, or fever should be kept at home or should visit the doctor. If the symptoms occur at our center, we will notify the parent or guardian, and they must pick up the child immediately. There will be no exceptions.
This is to protect your child’s health and his or her classmates. Children who have symptoms, have been in close contact with someone experiencing symptoms, or have been in contact with someone testing positive for COVID-19 are asked to stay home for 14 days and self-isolate before returning to school.
What is your Discipline Policy?
Generally, behavioral problems are controlled by studying how these situations develop. Teachers are then able to plan to avoid these difficult moments.
However, when these situations persist, after redirecting the child and offering reflection time, we inform the parent about the situation. Parents may share valuable information that could help the teacher understand the origin and nature of the behavior.
Discipline shall not be associated with food, rest, or toileting.
Parents must be informed of their child’s behavior with a verbal and written incident report, which they will sign; this will be filed in the child’s file. If more than 3 incidents are reported, the school has the right to suspend the student for some time or permanently.
What will their meals look like?
These meals are provided as a learning experience for the children.
The children are encouraged to eat a variety of healthy foods. Breakfast is served starting at 8:00 a.m. Lunches and snacks are served depending on the schedule of each class. Students must be on time to receive the meals.
When is Nap Time?
All children take a nap in the afternoon. They each have their cots with their names on them.
To make their sleep more comfortable, the children need blankets and sheets. Parents must bring them every Monday, and they will be returned every Friday for washing.
