Drop Off / Pick Up

We require that a parent, guardian, or approved caregiver must sign in and sign out for their child at drop off and pick up. Children will be released only to authorized persons whose names are on the emergency sheet. These names may be revised at any time by the parent in writing. If the authorized person picking up the child is unknown by staff, they will be asked to show identification.

Arrival Time

All students are expected to be at CP by 8:45 AM and no later so students may participate in morning activities and snack. We find that a timely arrival is important for a smooth transition from home to school. Any late arrivals need to be cleared with Kristen or the lead teacher. If late arrivals become a pattern, we reserve the right to discuss a plan to ensure timeliness. Late arrivals are disruptive and can be upsetting to the children who are actively engaged in activities.

Regularity in Schedule

It is important for children to arrive and leave the program at a regularly scheduled time. Children need the security of knowing that they will be picked up at the usual time. If you will be changing your hours (i.e. picking your child up earlier than usual), then please notify one of the Teaching Staff at drop-off.

Dismissal

Children will be released only to authorized persons whose names are on the emergency sheet. These names may be revised at any time by the parent in writing. If the authorized person picking up the child is unknown by staff, s/he will be asked to show photo identification to verify they are on the authorized pickup list.

Late Pickup

There is a 5 minute grace period for pick up after your child’s daily scheduled pickup time. Each minute after that 5 minute grace period will be charged the current late fee rate as stipulated on the payment form and Admissions and Enrollment page. Approved escorts are the only person(s) that can pick up a child at dismissal.

Parents/Guardians and Non-custodial

We require that a parent, guardian, or approved caregiver must sign in and sign out for their child at drop off and pick up. Children will be released only to authorized persons whose names are on the emergency sheet. These names may be revised at any time by the parent in writing. If the authorized person picking up the child is unknown by staff, s/he will be asked to show identification to verify they are on the authorized pickup list.

Absences

Please let your teacher know if your child is going to be absent. Arrival after the 15 minutes grace period or longer requires notification prior to arrival. If your child will be absent because they are sick with a contagious illness, please let our staff know so that other families can be alerted to look for symptoms in their children. Please note that in light of our policies and State regulations, we maintain full confidentiality of the identity of a child who has any illnesses.
