Vacations / Absences

Parents are required to pay the full monthly fee regardless of their child’s attendance, including partial-month absences. This policy aligns with standard daycare practices and is essential to ensure the Daycare’s continued operation throughout the summer and holiday seasons. If your child will be absent for the day, please notify the daycare by calling before 9:00 AM. In the event that a child has not arrived by lunchtime and no prior notice of their absence has been received, the Director or a staff member will contact the parents to confirm the child’s whereabouts.

Drop Off / Pick-up

Parents or their designated guardians are responsible for escorting their child(ren) into the Daycare and ensuring that staff are informed of their arrival. It is highly recommended to briefly communicate with the teacher to share relevant information, such as the child’s temperament, sleep quality, and eating habits. At pick-up time, please ensure that you notify the teacher before departing with your child. Leaving your child at Daycare can be challenging for both parents and children. To ensure a smooth drop-off, we recommend keeping the process brief and establishing a consistent routine. Lingering in the room may make the separation more difficult for your child. For your convenience, designated pick-up and drop-off parking spots are available directly in front of the building. In accordance with Alberta Licensing regulations, parents or their designated representatives are required to sign their child in upon arrival and out upon departure using the provided sign-in/out sheet of the daycare. To support the Daycare’s programming, all children must arrive by 8:00 AM, as this is when daily activities begin. Late arrivals can disrupt ongoing programming and may require staff to reintroduce activities, impacting the experience of other children. Timely arrivals also help ensure that children are well-settled and prepared for the morning snack

Alternate Person Pick-up

If someone other than a parent or the designated guardian will be picking up your child, please notify the Daycare in advance. Whenever possible, we recommend discussing this change with your child beforehand to help ease the transition and prevent any distress. All authorized alternate individuals must be listed on file with the Daycare and will be required to present valid photo identification at the time of pick up. This policy is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of your child. The Daycare is committed to safeguarding children and will take all reasonable measures to prevent a non-custodial parent or unauthorized individual from removing a child from the premises. In the event of any attempted unauthorized pickup, the police will be contacted immediately, and parents will be notified without delay.

Items to be provided by parents

To ensure your child’s comfort and readiness for daily activities, parents are required to provide the following items:

1. Clothing: A complete change of clothes appropriate for the weather, including underwear for potty-trained children.
2. Footwear: Both indoor and outdoor shoes.
3. Diapers and Hygiene Supplies: Diapers and wipes for children who require them. Diaper cream may also be provided.
4. Comfort Items: Parents may provide a soother, bottle, and a small sleeping toy if desired.

Parents are also required to provide crib sheets and blankets for their child’s nap time. The daycare does not supply bedding. All personal bedding items must be taken home weekly for laundering.
