Someone will call you if your child is sick.
Kids Club is not authorized to give medication (prescribed or over the counter) during program hours. Medicine CAN NOT be sent from the office to go home with your child. You are responsible for picking up medicine.
Discipline
All children enrolled in the program will be expected to follow rules established by the staff for the purpose of safety and smooth operation of the program.
Your child may be dismissed from the program for these infractions: discipline problem, non-payment or fees, and any other problem detrimental to the school environment.
Parent Involvement
The Kids Club staff is committed to providing a positive program for your child, for you and for us. Please talk with your child about good behavior. We want the program to be enjoyable for everyone. The staff will be able to meet the needs of your child, if they are made aware of things such as an illness in the family, change in living location, special fears, allergies, etc. Please keep all information current on your child’s enrollment form.
Please remember that this program is non-profit and is totally dependent upon fee payments for staff salaries, materials, equipment, and snacks.
