What is the center's sick
policy?
A child cannot return to the
center until he/she has been free from fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
for 24 hours.
What are your hours of operation?
We are open from 7:00am - 6:00pm for full- time students and 8:30am -
12:00pm for preschool students. The earliest you my drop off for
preschool is 8:20am. Please be on time so you won't miss lesson
time.
Can you suggest any tips for
drop-off?
Leave you child at the
classroom door, and the teacher will greet and help him/her get settled in
for the day.
Is late-stay or early-drop off available for my preschool only child?
No, due to the large number of full-time children that we care for we are unable to let children come early or stay late for preschool.
How do I know if your center
is closed due to bad weather?
Please watch channel 4, 7, or
12 for center closing information. Only our Private 5K program
follows the Greenville County School decision. If Greenville County
Schools are on a 2 hour delay, the K5 program starts at 10am. If
Greenville County Schools are closed, the K5 program is closed.
Note: Daycare may still be open.
Is breakfast served at your center?
No. All children age 1 and above must eat breakfast at home. We provide a small mid-morning snack for the children but not breakfast. We also provide a hot lunch and an afternoon snack for the children as well.
No outside food is allowed unless it is for a special snack for the
class. Please remember no peanut products for party days.
Can my child bring something from home to eat if he/she does not like what is on the menu?
We do not
allow any food to be brought into the center from home unless the child has a medically documented food allergy.
How do you communicate with
parents?
We have a board in the lobby
with any news or reminders for the parents. Also, each teacher sends
home a monthly newsletter which is also posted on the website. If
you need to speak with a teacher, just leave a note in the office, and she
will call you later in the day.
Why does my child need a
book bag?
This is a great way for us to
communicate with you. We place important information, reminders, and
student work in the book bag. Please take it home nightly.
Can my child bring toys to
school?
We ask that all toys be left a
home unless it is your child's share day.
What is the clothing policy?
We ask that children wear shoes
with backs (flip flops are not good for running outside and in the
gym). Also remember to dress your child appropriately for the
weather. We do go outside on cool days.
How do you handle birthdays?
You are welcome to bring in a
special snack for your child's birthday. Please coordinate with your
child's teacher. Do not put birthday party invitations in children's
book bags. All invitations must go through the mail. You can
request an address list in the office.
