Infants: Parents should supply diapers, bottles, bibs, and two extra outfits. One case of Pampers Sensitive
wipes is requested from every child on the first day of every other month (January, March, May, July, September, and
November). We provide formula and baby food. However, you are welcome to bring your own if you have a specific preference.
Children Ages Two and
Up: Around age two, children will begin to sleep on a cot for nap time. Parents
should supply a blanket (and/or a special toy) for nap time. One extra outfit is also requested to be left at the center at
all times in case of an accident (at least two outfits for children who are potty training). Please send one
case of Pampers Sensitive wipes every other month.
Dress Code
Children should wear comfortable clothes and should be fully dressed when they arrive. Children
may bring or leave slippers to wear inside the house. We do have a period of outside play daily (weather permitting) so please
send appropriate outerware with your child's name labeled.
Potty Training
To make it through this tough phase in development,
we believe teamwork is very important! We will make every effort to support what you are doing at home. However, we will not
punish a child for having an “accident” even if that is part of your system at home. Most children begin
potty training around two to three years of age but each child is different. When you and your child feel the time is right,
please just let us know. Please send at least two extra outfits (socks too), and pull-ups just
in case we need them. We will put a pull-up on at nap time until you tell us your child has slept
through the night without an accident.
Sickness
If a child becomes ill in
our care we will call to notify parents. If a child is vomiting, shows signs of pink-eye, or is running a fever, he/she
must be picked up as soon as possible and must remain fever free for 24 hours before returning. Please note that
absence due to illness does not exempt payment for that period of time.
Food
A nutritious, well-balanced breakfast, lunch
and afternoon snack will be provided daily. Breakfast ends promptly at 9 a.m. If you plan to arrive past 8:50 a.m. please
make sure your child has already eaten breakfast. A well balanced breakfast and lunch will be served but we will never force
a child to eat anything. Dietary concerns? Please let us know.

for discontinuance in the program. Payment is due on Monday morning of each week (or the first day the child arrives that
week). A late fee of $10 will be charged for each day payment is late (Monday evening is considered late also). If payment
is one week late, children will not be admitted until the balance is paid. A $30 fee will be charged for any returned check.
If two bad checks are received within one year, payment by cash or money order will be required.
Picking
Up Children
Parents who arrive past the pick up time will be charged $20 (anytime within the first fifteen
minutes). After that 15-minutes an additional $1/minute will be charged. This will be strictly enforced as the teachers
are scheduled to be finished at closing time. Please be considerate and call if you will be late. We understand that emergencies
happen but please keep in mind that our teachers have families and other commitments too. Have a back-up plan! :)
