Child's Transition into the Program:

During registration and enrollment, parents may meet with the director to learn about the program, ask questions, tour the center, and meet teaching staff.

Whenever possible, two parent/child visits to the center are recommended before the child’s first day of attendance.  During the first visit, the parent and child(ren) visit together, and during the second, the child visits for 1-2 hours alone, then with the parent when they return. This allows for a smooth transition for the child, particularly if this is their first group care experience.  Teachers will familiarize the child and family with the classroom layout, routines, and procedures during these visits. You can get more information about these routines on our Current Families page. This page is password protected. The password will be provided to you after enrollment.

Throughout the child’s first day, teachers will be available during arrival and departure times to address parent questions and concerns.  Teachers will also orient parents to the classroom’s communication routines and procedures, such as signing in and out, sharing daily information notes, use of parent notices on sign-in sheet, etc.

We look forward to spending time getting to know each one of you.  We genuinely appreciate the interest that you have shown in our program.
