Drop off and Pick up- Only an adult named on the registration form may pick up your child. There is a sign in ledger for morning children and sign out ledger for afternoon children that must be signed by all Adults who are dropping off or picking up a child. This ledger is a legal document and must be signed by an adult, not a child. In addition to the signature of the adult, the time of drop off for morning and the time of pick up for afternoon is also recorded in the ledger. If the parent doesn’t record the drop off or pick up time the parent will be charged for the full time. As always if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. All of us at C.A.R.E.S. are looking forward to a wonderful year.
Thank you for entrusting your child/children to us.
