Outside Toys:

To assure the safety of all little ones in our care we don’t permit outside toys in our centers. Children who bring toys should plan to keep them in their bags during their visit. Exceptions will be made for toys that comfort a distressed child during their visit or nap time.

Late Pick-up:

Children must be picked up by closing time at each individual center. If you are aware that you are going to be late, you should call the Center to inform staff and let them know when you expect to arrive to up your child/ren. If you are late, a late fee will be charged, see parent handbook for rates and specifics. When a child is not picked up by closing time, staff will remain at the drop-in until the situation is resolved.

You can make a reservation 24 hours in advance if your child needs to stay up to an hour past our closing time. Due to the operational and staffing costs, the rate for the time scheduled after hours goes up to $15/per hour.

If the person picking up does not have their password; the child’s file will be checked for the individual’s name, and photo identification will be required. If the unknown person is not authorized to pick up the child in our software, the parent will be contacted for permission
