7.  Tuition Check:  Tuition is due every two weeks.  The first day of the new school year falls in the middle of a tuition cycle.  Families who have been attending regularly and are just continuing with us, can just stay on the same cycle they have been paying.  However, do be aware if you have a payment change between the weeks.  Families who are new to us will just pay one week's worth of tuition, but then the following Monday, you will owe again and that time it will be two weeks.  Families who took the summer off and are returning to us, remember, you paid one week's fall tuition deposit in the spring before you left, so you should not owe.  If you have any doubt, just ask.
8.  A lovey:  If your child requires a nap time snuggle toy to soothe them, you may send it in.

If Your Child Is Two, Please Add These Items:
1.  Diapers:  One pack to start, but this should be kept well stocked.
2.  Wipes:  Two packs to start, but this should be kept well stocked.
3.  Changing Pads:  Two, please.
4.  Additional Spare Clothes:  Add another set of clothes here.  Or two.  Heck, make it three.

Please Do NOT Send These Items:
1.  Medications, vitamins, lotions, potions or other substances for which we do not have a doctor's note.  We cannot apply or store it without the proper documentation.  We cannot allow students (even school age) to handle them on their own.
2.  Cash.  We do not accept cash as payment.  Your child will not need it.  We promise. 
3.  Backpacks.  (The current regulations allow school age children to carry backpacks because they will be handling laptops, etc.  Preschoolers are not allowed to have backpacks since they are required to be sanitized)
4.  Toys from home.  (Other than the nap time lovey).  The thought process here is to cut down on any outside germs where possible.  All our daycare toys are kept to the same child daily and then sanitized at the end of the day.
5.  Nuts.
6.  Additional nap time items:  Pillows, blankets, comforters, futons, bunk beds.  We get it.  You want them to be comfortable.  But we do not have the storage space nor can we sanitize to this degree.  A sheet will suffice.
7.  Binkys:  Pacifiers are not recommended over the age of two due to speech development.  But in a group setting, hygiene concerns also factor in.  
8.  Water bottles:  All students are given milk three times a day at both snack times and at lunch time.  They also have access to bottled water throughout the day.  It is taken on the playground, while they play, for hydration.  It is also accessible to them any time they request it.  Individual bottles, again, pose the concern of sharing germs, even if labeled.  Preschoolers can't read them. 
9.  Germs from home, when avoidable!:  We realize it is not always possible to know when your child is coming down with something.  But, please, especially in the world of COVID, do not medicate a sick child and send them in to school.  We must all work to maintain the health and safety of one another during this unique time.
