Family policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

Please keep your child home with a fever, vomiting or a rash you can't explain, and for a full day after the symptoms end. Call us in the morning and we will note it.

A teacher hands your child back to you at the door, and we release a child only to the people on your written list. We ask anyone we don't know for ID.

If you are running late, call us. We stay with your child until you arrive, and we talk through a pattern of late pickups with you in private.

Toddlers and twos eat meals and snacks together at the low table. For babies, you bring bottles or breast milk labeled with your baby's name, or tell us which formula to prepare, and we feed on your baby's own rhythm. Tell us about any allergy at your tour; once you enroll, we ask again in private.

Babies sleep on their backs, each in their own crib, with nothing else in the crib. A teacher stays in the room, and you hear how the nap went at pickup. Toddlers and twos rest on a mat in a quiet room.

We close for major holidays and for a week in July, and the closures are listed at the start of the year. For snow or storms, we call every family before opening.

We ask for two weeks' notice in writing before your child leaves. A teacher can write notes to take to the next program.
