About Us - Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures

A.M Drop-Off

Smooth transitions for the children during the morning drop-off as well as the evening pick-up are very important. Routines have been created to ensure this process does not have a negative impact on the children. Parents are asked to assist with smooth transitions by limiting their stay in the classroom areas to a maximum of 10 minutes. Please place your child’s belongings in their rooms in the mornings. This will eliminate the pick-up “BELONGINGS HUNT.” It takes a few additional minutes but has the potential to save you an enormous amount of time in the evenings. Please refrain from dropping your child off in rooms that do not contain children of that same age range. We want to encourage socialization with others in your child’s age range. Food is not allowed in any rooms except the cafeteria. If your child needs a little extra snack before breakfast, please have them finish it in the car.

Early Drop-Off

Please do not enter the building before 7 a.m. unless you have scheduled an early morning drop off with the Director. If you need to drop off your child early, please notify the Director the day before to ensure that someone will be here to care for your child. The charge for drop-off before 7 a.m. is $30 per hour (Fee Schedule 2004) or any part of the hour, per child.

Late Pick-Up

When it becomes apparent that you will be late picking up your child, please contact the Director so that arrangements can be made for a staff member to stay with your child until you arrive. The fee for late pick-up is $30 per hour (Fee Schedule 2004) or any part of an hour, per child.
