Late Payment
Timely payments ensure a student’s enrolled status. Payments received
after the 5th of the month are considered late. A fee in the amount of
$20.00 will be added if not received by 5th. Late fees will be added to the
following month’s invoice and due by the 5th of that month.

Drop off & pick up procedure

Students are to be dropped-off in front of the school where a teacher will
be present to greet both parent and student and ensure safe entry.
Students are to be picked-up in front of the school where a teacher will be
present to ensure the safety of the students. A fee in the amount of $1.00
per minute will be assessed for each minute beyond the end of class
(12:00pm for the early morning class or 1:45pm for the late morning class)
students are picked-up safely. Late pick-up fees will be added to the
following month’s invoice and due by the 5th of that month.

Discipline Procedure
We encourage students to make good choices by having their bee stay on the
Happy Hive, if they make a poor choice after a warning, their bee will be
moved to the Sad Hive. At the end of day, the students on the Happy Hive
will receive a small reward (sticker, treat, stamp etc.). In the event a
student is having trouble following class rules, the teachers will re-direct
the student’s attention in a positive way. If problem persists, the student
will be invited to take some quiet time, if he or she chooses. Should the
inappropriate behavior continue, the student will be placed in time-out by a
teacher. Any discipline issues will be communicated to the parents at the
end of the day either verbally or through a written progress report.

Sick Child Policy

If a student is running a fever, has green or yellow colored nasal discharge,
or has experienced vomiting or diarrhea, we ask that you keep them at home.
What to Bring
All students will be required to bring a change of clothes and underwear
even if they are fully potty trained. These are preschoolers after all and
accidents can happen. Please put your child’s clothes in a Zip-lock plastic bag
write their name on the bag. These items will be kept in the classroom. To
ensure potty breaks are simple, please have your student wear clothes that
they can be taken-off and put back on independently.

Busy Bee Bag

Students will have a special bag in which they put all of their daily work.
This bag must be brought to school each day, so please keep this bag in a
safe place at home. This is a great way to start teaching your child
responsibility.

Snack
A healthy snack and plenty water is provided during each class. An example
of a typical snack would be string cheese, four crackers, three cut apple
wedges, and water. Students seem to get very hungry while at school, so
please have your child eat a healthy and hearty breakfast. If a student has
special dietary needs, please be sure to include the details on the
registration form and discuss these needs with a teacher. Students may
bring their own snack, if preferred. Both classes will receive a snack at
10:30am.

Lunch (applies to late morning class only)

The late morning class will need to bring a sack lunch, which will be eaten
between 12:30pm to 1:00pm.
