For Parents
Enrolling and/or reserving a future space for your child is simple. Contact us to schedule a time for you and your child to visit us in our center. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to meet us and learn more about what we have to offer. This time spent gives all involved an opportunity to get to know one another and to make sure that all personalities mix well. This is important and helps to ensure that all parties are comfortable with their surroundings and expectations. After this on-site visit, the registration process may begin. There are various forms to be completed and others to be read. Once they are read, completed, signed, and the deposit has been paid, your child's space has been reserved and the final step is to decide on a start date.
What Parents Need To Know
Child Care and Toddler Classes:
Typically, a day includes lots of fun activities for growth and exploration. Your little one might spend time playing, riding a tricycle, digging or painting. And of course, there's reading, music and educational games
Class Size
A basic group comprises 6-10 children. However, the younger children are divided into smaller groups of eight or less. The teacher-to-student ratio also differs with age group:
*Infants & toddlers (up to 2 years) Three caregivers for 8 to 15 infants & toddlers.
*Children (2.5 up to 4 years) One teacher for 10 children
*Children (4.5 up to 5 years) One teacher for 10 children.
*Special education One teacher and one assistant for 8 children
Teachers & Caregivers
We work to attract and retain the best talent to take care of your children, all our staff members are carefully screened and hired for their skill, experience and child rapport.
Policies see Parent Handbook
To ensure healthy and safe surroundings for your child, we implement these policies:
*No child leaves the premises without a parent's (or guardian's) signed request
*Parents/guardians are requested to sign their child in and out daily.
*If your child is sick, he or she must stay home. This protects the health of the other children.
* No hair beads-Please be aware that hair beads are a choking hazard. Beads pose an ingestion threat for young children. Parents are encouraged to use a very limited number of barrettes/clips for this age group for safety issues. All Kinder Academy students are required to maintain modest hair styles. Students should not wear the following styles:
1. Mohawks, large or tall styles
2. Haircuts with words, parts or any types of symbols.
3. Long ponytails, braids or twists for boys
4. Large Afros
5. Tight braids or other hair styles, especially for young children.
6. Any other style deemed inappropriate by the administration.
* Certain meetings are mandatory for parents to attend.
