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.

Please keep your child home with a fever, vomiting or a rash we don't recognize, and bring them 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 to you at the room door. 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'll be late, call the front desk. If pickup runs past closing time, Earnestine talks with you in person; the rule is in writing when you enroll.

Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack come from our church kitchen, and we say a short blessing before lunch. Tell us about any allergy at the tour; once you enroll, we ask again in private. Families of infants bring the milk or formula.

Infants sleep on their backs, in their own crib, with nothing else in the crib. Toddlers and older children rest on mats, at the time each one needs.

We close with the church and with the local schools: Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break and the summer holidays on the calendar. If weather or anything else closes us, we tell you by text message.

We ask for two weeks' notice before your child leaves, in writing or in person.
