What should I do at home to help my child be prepared for school?
Helping your child to sleep in semi-noisy areas will help them prepare to be at school and not get disturbed by the noise of other children while they are sleeping. Your child will have their own crib in a separate room but the room is not completely sound proof. Also, help your child see the importance of not needing to be held all the time. You can do this by playing next to your child or lying next to them. Talking to them about what they will be experiencing will also be a great way to help them transition.

What is the best way to help my child transition into school?
Each child is different in how they will transition, so we encourage parents to come and spend some time in the classroom before they leave their child. When children see their parents comfortable in a situation they will also trust that environment. Some families choose to do part days for the first week and they work up to full days, others choose to jump right in. We will talk and decide what will be best for you and your family.

Should I send in bottles pre-made or in dry form?
Whatever you prefer

When should I keep my child home sick?
When your child has a fever or diarrhea they are not permitted to be at school. In order to return they either need to be fever free for 24 hours or be on an antibiotic for 24 hours.

Can I leave a car seat at the center if needed?
Yes

What do you do if a teacher is out sick?
If your child’s teacher is out either a teacher from another classroom will step in or the director will. All the teachers in the center make a special effort to know all of the children so that if your child’s teacher is out, another teacher that your child trusts can offer great care.

Do you provide food for the children?
We do not provide any food before the age of one. At this age allergies have not been determined and each child is on an individual meal plan that families make. We will serve the food you provide but we do not supply it.
