ATTENDANCE AND ABSENTEE POLICIES (a complete listing of policies is printed on the back side of the rate schedule form)

Daily Absences

All families are required to pay for a full week of care.  Requests for part-time enrollment will be permitted only as it can be balanced with other part-time requests.

Each family must at the time of enrollment and re-enrollment, contract for the number of days each week their child(ren) will attend the Center and commit to paying the scheduled rate. All families are required to report any absence by 9am each day.

Families will not be charged for childcare when the Center is open on snow days as long as the Center is notified of the child’s absence by 9am. (Families with school age children will be charged their regular fee for care when their child is NOT present on the morning of a “late start” day of school. Extended care fees apply to children in attendance on the morning of a “late start” day of school).
