Q: What is the pick-up/drop-off process?

Q: Will my child have the same teacher every day?
A: For the most part, yes. The time of day, ratios, bathroom/lunch breaks, or teacher absences will allow for variance.

Each diaper change will specify whether it was wet, dry, or the child had a bowel movement. Any additional important information that needs to be passed along to the parent will also be noted on this sheet.

Q: Can I send special food with my child or do they have to eat what the center provides?
A: Yes, you may send food with your child. Please make sure to let the teacher or director know. You may also send milk substitutes if your child requires something other than the 2% dairy milk that is provided to students at lunch.
