Commonly Asked Questions

1. What do I need to bring for my child?
   We ask that parents supply diapers, several changes of clothes, indoor and outdoor shoes, a small blanket for rest time a sleep stuffie is optional, sunscreen and a hat. Please provide appropriate clothing during seasonal changes.
2. Do we give medication?
   We will give medication to a child if it is prescribed by a doctor and in the original container. We will also ask you to fill out a form for the time and dosage of the medication so it can be posted in the child’s room. We do not accept medication with an as needed request.
3. How much time do you spend outside?
   Providing the weather is cooperating we try to spend a hour outside in the morning and in the afternoon. We are very conscious of monitoring cold temperatures in the winter and heat alerts in the summer.
4. Do we go on field trips?
   Our centre will take the children on field trips only if we find that the trip is age appropriate and our trips occur during morning hours so the children can be back for lunch time and a nap. The school age children during summer camp enjoy weekly field trips.
5. How many hours can my child stay at your Centre?
   We have a policy that children can stay in our centre to a maximum of nine hours per day.
