* It is essential that children be picked up promptly at the designated time. Children are often tired at the end of the program and need your support to say good-bye, gather their clothing, art work and leave for home. * Be sure to let the teacher know that you are taking your child and check the cubbies for messages. * Make sure to monitor siblings for safety and to prevent disruption of the remaining children. * Teachers will release your child to only you and to those adults whom you have authorized to pick up your child. Parents MUST notify staff directly of any changes in daily pick up arrangements. * The Center closes promptly at 6:00pm. * A fee of $1.00 per minute will be charged to parents who pick up their children after the established pick up time. This fee is due and payable at time of pick up.
