Clear, caring expectations that keep our daycare safe, consistent, and welcoming

Hours of Operation

Monday – Friday
7:30 AM – 5:30 PM

Please ensure children are dropped off and picked up within these hours.

Health & Illness Policy

To protect all children and staff, we ask that you keep your child home if they show signs of illness, including:

• Fever

• Vomiting or diarrhea

• Contagious infections

• Any condition that prevents participation in daily activities

Children must be symptom‑free for 24 hours (or as required by Public Health) before returning.

Late Pickup Policy

If a child is picked up after closing time, a late fee may apply.
Consistent late pickups may require a meeting to discuss scheduling needs.

Communication With Families

We value open communication and encourage parents to:

• Share concerns

• Ask questions

• Provide updates about their child’s needs

We will keep families informed about routines, activities, and any concerns that arise.

Nutrition & Food Policy

Nutrition Policy: Parents are required to provide a mid-morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack for their child. If desired, children arriving early may bring a healthy breakfast, provided it aligns with the daycare's allergy guidelines. 

School-aged children must bring lunch and snacks year-round. 

We encourage all food items to be healthy choices, such as milk, water, or 100% fruit juice. Our goal is to help children recognize and understand healthy food groups, and we encourage families to reinforce these concepts at home as well. 

Parents are responsible for providing all meals and snacks for their child each day.

Please ensure that:

• Food is packed in clearly labeled containers

• Items are ready to serve (cut, peeled, or prepared as needed)

• Lunches follow safe food‑handling guidelines

• An ice pack is included if needed to keep food fresh

We are unable to heat or cook food on site.

 Please avoid sending items that contain nuts or other allergens as required by our allergy‑safety guidelines.

Inclusion Policy

We welcome all children and strive to create an inclusive environment. Children with special needs will be provided with necessary modifications to participate in activities. We work closely with parents and external professionals to meet each child’s unique needs and ensure successful inclusion.
