The child care is licensed for preschoolers 36 months to 6 year olds. (Children must be toilet trained). Any children enrolled in kindergarten are considered school-agers and we won’t be able to enroll them.
Our hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If we find that on certain days we are not needed that early or late, we will be open according to the needs of our clients.
We will be open the week after Labor Day and end the last week of May, provided there is still a need once Preschool ends right before Memorial Day weekend. We will be closed during the summer months. Check the calendar for a few additional dates around holidays or training dates that we will be closed. Our child care/extended day program will follow the preschool calendar and be closed when preschool is closed.
Our main child care room will be the Rainbow Room (in the front of the church). The three mornings the Purple Pre-K class is in session, we will be using the Jacob/Hannah education rooms (across from the elevator) that is licensed for child care. However, once the Preschool day is done around 11:00, we will transfer the children to the Rainbow Room.
Children enrolled in Preschool will be escorted by Children’s Country staff to where they need to go. All staff have background studies. Staffing will depend upon enrollment needs.
Children staying over lunch time (11:30-12:00) will need to bring a bag lunch each time. Lunch bags with ice packs are recommended. Clearly mark your child’s name on the outside. Milk will be provided. CCCC will provide a simple healthy snack in the morning and afternoon.
Even though licensing allows a ratio of 1 teacher to 10 students, once children leave for their classes, the ratio will be lower. We will overlap teachers at lunch time.
Napping or “Quiet Time” will be shortly after lunch, around 12:30. This is a required licensing rule. Cots will be provided. Children can bring a favorite blanket and “lovey” each day (or it can be kept at school and taken home at the end of the week for washing). We will honor the parent’s wishes as to how long the child should stay napping. Older children will be required to have 30 minutes of quiet time on their cot.
Drop-in care (with 24-hour notice) will be available if we have space available. We can also be back-up care for your regular provider if you need care in a pinch and we have space available (for preschool age only).
We will follow the preschool calendar. We will begin the Monday after Labor Day and complete the week Memorial Day falls on. Child care will be closed during the summer months. There may be a few additional dates around holidays, spring break or training dates we will be closed, but a calendar will be published early on.
