Illness
Little children often get sick. You should keep your child at home throughout the duration of the illness so as to expedite the healing process and avoid getting the other children sick. When your child is ready to return to day care, we would appreciate a note from their doctor indicating that they are free from contagions.
Visit
Parents are always welcome to visit their children at the school and may do so at any time during the day.
Meals
The school provides a morning snack, balanced lunch, and nutritious afternoon snack, prepared and catered in compliance with federal and state regulations. Monthly menus are shared with parents. We ensure healthy, child-friendly meals to support growth and learning.
Dietary Concerns
We understand many children have dietary restrictions due to allergies, religious beliefs and/or personal preferences. Should you wish to limit or forbid certain food items for any reason, please notify us beforehand and we will ensure that no offensive food item is served to your child.
Community Care Licensing
The Department of Licensing may inspect records, interview staff or children, and observe or medically examine children to ensure safety and detect possible abuse or neglect. These measures help protect children’s well-being, ensure quality care, and maintain full compliance with state regulations.
