* Arriving on time is an important factor in making your child feel comfortable and secure. Late arrival makes for your child to enter a group once the morning routine has already begun. * Early drop off (IE before 8:40am) must be prearranged so the required staffing is in place. * Help your child hang up his/her coat and put the lunchbox in the designated space. * Greet the teacher and share any important information. * If you wish to spend a little time with your child before departing, remember to focus on your child and speak softly. * Always say goodbye to your child and tell him/her when you will return. * Please refrain from chatting with other parents in the classroom as this can be very distracting for the children.
