This schedule will vary according to the daily needs of the children.

We ask that you drop your child off between 8:15 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

so that they can become adjusted to the class and routine and be ready for lunch and nap time. This is especially important at the beginning of school when the children are adjusting to being away from mom and in a new environment with new faces to learn. Please drop off your child and leave them in the very capable hands of our staff. Be prepared for some unhappy sounds when they are left, but I can assure you if you are consistent with their attendance and leaving the room each day, the adjustment period will be much shorter. Fun activities are incorporated throughout the day which include: music, story time, books, etc.

Also, please do not enter the room to pick up your child once they are down for a nap. If you need to pick up your child during this time, contact the office and let me know ahead of time. Arrangements will be made so that the children resting will not be disturbed.

Once the children begin waking up, they are changed and engaged in quiet activities. This allows the ones that are still napping to continue undisturbed. Sometimes, a child may sleep until pick up time. Sometimes, a child may not nap at all. The staff adjust their schedules to meet the needs of their children.

Send lunches each day your child is at school. A refrigerator & microwave is available in each MDO -(1’s) Class.

1 - Soft shell lunch box(Please no metal types)
