READINESS
Please make sure your child has gone to the bathroom before class starts. If your child is not toilet trained they must wear a pull-up diaper. If your child does have a soiled diaper, I will notify you to come pick them up.
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
Please try to arrive for class on time. If however you are late ring the door bell and I will unlock the door. For departure we will meet you with coats on at the front door. Getting dressed is a skill that we will be working on in our classroom. Please call if you are going to be late or if a person, other than someone already authorized, is going to pick up your child.
CLOTHING
Weather permitting we will try to have outdoor time. Please ensure your child has appropriate outdoor clothing. In general, durable, washable comfortable clothes are recommended since we will be playing outdoors, painting, exploring etc.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS
I ask that ALL personal items remain at home. Misunderstandings as well as toys getting broken or lost can be very upsetting for a child.
ILLNESS
Illness is always an issue in a group setting; however, under no circumstance should a child be brought to the program if he/she has a contagious illness. Please notify me if your child contracts a communicable illness other than a cold.
DISCIPLINE POLICY
I try to help each child understand that we have rules that must be followed for our safety and health. I stress the importance of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. At no time will verbal or physical force be used to discipline a child. Some strategies used include: gaining a child's attention, staying in close proximity to the child, reminding, acknowledging feelings before setting limits, redirecting or diverting attention. All children, at all times, will be treated with respect.
SNACK
There will be designated time for snack each day. Please send your child with a small nutritious snack. I will notify you if there are any allergies in our class.
