DROP OFF & PICK UP​​

  • Parents must sign their children in and out for each visit using the registration form at the reception desk and complete every line in case you are needed to be located or contacted while your child is in Childcare.

  • Only parents with children currently in care are permitted in secure areas.

  • The parent that drops off the child must be the parent that picks up the child unless you indicate otherwise, in person, to our staff.

  • We suggest leaving any toys from home outside of Childcare as we cannot be responsible for any lost or broken items from home.

​

RATIOS

Our childcare facility can accommodate up to 50 children at a time, with at least three staff members present during peak periods. While we typically do not reach maximum capacity, No School Days, summer vacation, and Saturdays tend to fill up the fastest. On these days, we may not be able to accommodate walk-ins without a prior reservation.

It is important to note that while our overall capacity is 50 children, we allocate spaces by age group to ensure proper care and attention.
 

The age groups are as follows:

  • 3 MONTHS – 12 MONTHS: Limited spaces available due to higher care needs.

  • 13 MONTHS – 3 YEARS: Moderate availability.

  • 4 YEARS – 12 YEARS: Most available spaces
     

As children get older, the number of available spaces increases. However, due to the limited number of spots for younger children, we strongly encourage parents to make reservations in advance to secure a place, particularly for infants and toddlers.

​

FOOD AND DRINKS

You may bring snacks and drinks for your children. Please label your child's food and drink. The Center is GLASS FREE & NUT FREE and no snack may contain nut products in any form.
