Center Operation
Arrival
The center opens at 8:00 a.m. Parents are expected to take their
children into the classroom and put their things in their cubbies.
We ask all parents to sign their children in on the clipboard at the
front desk. Each classroom teacher will take class attendance at 9:30
a.m. every day. This guarantees accurate count of children when they
are removed from the building in the event of emergency evacuation
or disaster.
Breakfast begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 9:30 a.m. Children begin
daily activities or going to a planned field trip. Please bring your
child in time to eat. We don't want any child to start the day without
breakfast.
Each classroom is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m. Children will not
be accepted past 9:30 a.m. without approval from the Director. This
will be granted whenever the classroom is able to accept a late child
without disruption of the classroom schedule and when there is a legitimate
reason for the child arriving late.
We would like to ask parents to cooperate with the following guidelines:
- Settle your child in his/her classroom by 9:30 a.m. everyday.
- When your child is absent, call the center to notify the teacher
of the absence.
- Check ahead to see if the center can receive your late child.
In some instances of lateness, you will be asked to find alternative
care for the day.
Exceptions will be made for unusual traffic patterns, MBTA conditions
or poor weather.
