Family policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

We ask that your child stay home with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea or a rash we don't recognize, and come back after a full day without symptoms. If your child gets sick here, we call you right away so someone can come.

A teacher hands each child over at the room door or the yard gate. We release a child only to the people you list in writing, and we ask for ID from anyone we don't know.

If you're going to be late, call us. If pickup runs past closing time, we talk it over with you in person; the rule is in writing at enrollment.

The center serves breakfast, lunch and a snack. Tell us about any allergy at the tour; once you enroll, we ask again in private. Families of babies bring bottles and formula.

Infants sleep on their backs, in their own crib, with nothing else in the crib. Twos, Threes and Fours rest on their own cot, at the time each room needs.

We close on the holidays we give you in writing at enrollment. If we have to close for snow or any other reason, we tell you by text message as early as we can.

We ask for two weeks' notice, by message or in person, before your child leaves the center.
