1. Arrival, Departure, Safe Release, and Late Departures

All parents/guardians are required to sign in and out each day. In order to protect every child's safety, please make sure a staff member knows of your arrival and departure.

The child will only be accepted and released in the presence of the teacher and only to be released to the people listed on the registration form. Prior notification is required for a child to be released to an authorized adult not listed on the registration form. The appropriate prior notification includes but is not limited to phone calls, email notifications, etc. Personal identification is required when releasing the child to a temporarily authorized adult. 

A late pick-up fee of $1.00 per minute will incur 10 minutes after closing time. Consistent lateness without prior notification from parents may result in withdrawal and loss of service.
