Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures

Drop off and pick-up can be a stressful time for both parents and children. Staff and parents are encouraged to work together to develop the best routine for the child. All parents will be given a key card to allow them to enter the building during the hours when the ECC is open. If your key is lost it will require a $5 replacement fee.

Sign-In/Out Requirement

Parents are required by state law to sign their children in and out each day, using their full, legal signature. This is an essential process to ensure accurate records are maintained and will assist us in keeping your child safe.

Release

Your child will not be released to anyone who is not pre-designated in the child's file. If someone else is to pick your child up, you must provide written notice with the person's first and last name, along with the pick up time. If the teacher does not recognize the person picking up the child, that person will be asked to provide identification before the child will be released.

Late Drop Off

If your child is going to arrive to the center late please inform the center. This will help us determine needed teacher:child ratios and also help us plan activities.

Late Pick Up

You must pick up your child by the time agreed to in your contract. An additional fee of $1 per minute will be charged for each minute late. Multiple late pick-ups are grounds for termination of care.
