While in my care your child will have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities which promote all aspects of development. Family childcare provides for children the comfort and experience of belonging to an extended family. I provide a home like setting; therefore I do not follow a strict routine. My approach to childcare is child centered and child directed. Children are offered choices whenever possible. Your child ordain bring home a newsletter each month which will give a brief overview of what we will be doing. Just because you are not seeing anything in the way of papers does not mean that we undergo not been busy all day. Although there is no strict schedule monthly developmental goals will be met.
st of every month. (Every other Monday for biweekly and every Monday for weekly) After 6:00 PM the late fee will be assessed. If payment is not made within 3 days at drop off your child will not be accepted into care until payment including all late fees is made. If a period of 1 week passes without payment received the contract will be terminated the position filled and the collection process begun. You will be responsible for any costs related to collection of the childcare fees. Money order is the only accepted form of payment with tracking stub and a receipt will be given upon request. A year-end statement of all childcare fees paid will be provided within the first month of the New Year. Childcare fees are due regardless of whether or not your child attends.(NO exceptions) You are paying for a position as well as a service. No refunds are given for late arrivals or early departures. (NO exceptions) A position at KD Kids Home Daycare will be considered open until the enrollment fee is received. This fee is non refundable and may only be used for 1 month. Payment is due in full no later than 6:00pm on the first of every month. If you begin mid-month full monthly rate will still be due and is due on the day that compassionate begins. There will be no prorating for the first month of care. If you opt to pay the weekly rate it will be $125.00 payment is due Monday before childcare begins. If you opt to pay the biweekly rate it will be $250.00 due on the 1st and 15th of every month (or the first following business day before care begins.)
Drop Off/Pick Up: I assume responsibility for your child only while he/she is on my property. No child will be allowed to leave with anyone except the parent unless indicated on the alternate pickup list without written permission from the parent. Telephone permission will not do! Anyone unfamiliar to me will be required to show proof of Identification. It is normal for your child to cry on arrival especially for the first few weeks. gratify make your goodbye brief and tell your child exactly when you will be returning. The crying usually stops within seconds of your departure. You are welcome to listen outside the door. Never leave without telling your child goodbye. Please be in control of your child during drop off and pick up times. If the person picking up the child appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs another authorized person will be called to pick-up both the child and the adult. Court Order: If there is a act order keeping one parent or guardian away from the child. I must have a written say from the custodial parent or guardian in my file to that effect. Otherwise. I cannot prevent the non- custodial parent from picking up the child. Children must be signed in and out daily.
Sick/Vacation Days: In the event that your child is ill and needs to miss a day please call 1 hour before arrival time or before 9:00am (whichever is soonest). If NO notice is given you will be charged the No Show Fee in addition to the normal daily rate. Parent agrees to provide 2 weeks notice prior to any vacation measure. Parents accept to pay childcare fees to hold child’s position during any vacation time or extended leave due to illness etc that exceeds your two free weeks. You will receive two free weeks (meaning vacation time away from the home that you are not required to pay for) in exchange for my 2 weeks of paid vacation.
