There are many forms that we must have completed and in our possession before we can assume the
responsibility of caring for your child. Before your child is admitted into daycare, a security deposit equal to two
weeks of child care must be paid. This deposit will be credited to your last week's fee provided you are in
compliance with the handbook and contract.
All new children will be cared for on a two-week (10 business days) trial period beginning on your child's
first actual day of care. During that time the parents or provider may terminate the child care agreement with 24
hours notice.
It is normal for some children to have difficulty separating from parents in the morning or not wanting to leave
when it's time to go home. The longer you prolong the departure the harder it gets.(no more than 5 minutes is
sufficient) A smile, cheerful good-buy kiss, and a reassuring word that you will be back are all that is needed in
the morning. When picking up your child, again please be brief. This is the time that children will test to see if
the rules still apply when two authority figures are present. Please be in control of your child.
Payment is due no later than the drop off time on your first contracted care day of each week. A year-end
statement of all daycare fees paid during the year will be given to you in January of the next year for TAX
purposes.
- Maternity-Extended Leave-Holding a Spot
In case of your potential absence due to maternity or extended leave from your job,we still require halve child
care payments for the entire time of your absence to hold your child's position. If you would like to reserve a
space we require a two week non-refundable deposit. This deposit will hold the space for no more than two
months for a full time and no more than a month for part-time.
- Your absence - Notification
You are required to notify us prior to your contracted drop off time if your child will not be coming for the day or
if you will be late in arriving.
We take eight paid holidays and up to fifteen unpaid vacation days per calendar year. Please be aware that if
you go on vacation we still expect payment in full for the days your child will not attend day care.
Nutritious meals will be provided at no extra cost, and transportation (no more than 3 miles) will be provided for
an additional thirty dollars per month, with a signed contract (for up to 8 school pick ups). Parents with infants
do need to supply formula.
You have the right to terminate child care at any time during your trial period. After your trial period has ended,
you can not terminate child care until after six months from the day your child was enrolled.
