ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Parents and staff are asked to use the Northeast doors, labeled childcare center to enter the
building. You are REQUIRED to have an access code to enter the building. The security box is
located on the right wall just inside the outer doors:
Press START
Enter your CODE
Press OPEN
A door bell will chime when it is time to enter
(Please keep in mind that it may take a few moments to open, do not yank on the door.)
Your childs attendance is recorded by you when you enter your access code into the computer
located just outside of the office. Be sure to clock your child in/out EVERYDAY to correctly
record attendance for your child. We use this attendance record in the event of an emergency
when we need to know how many children are in care. Office staff is always willing to assist you
with this process; please let them know if you have any questions.
BEGINNING CARE FOR YOUR CHILD
Prior to enrollment you will be given a guided tour of our facility and the chance to meet your
childs teachers/caregivers. Each classroom has a specific list of items that will be needed for
care. You will be notified as to what your child will need. We ask that you plan to come in for a
visit the day before you plan to start. We use this time to introduce your child to their new
classmates, become familiar with the routine, and get a comfortable feeling with their new
surroundings. Bring with you the items that they need for care to set up their new cubby and give
you a chance to find out if there is anything else that you need. Take this time to talk to the
teacher/caregiver about your childs general routine, likes, dislikes, and abilities and any other
useful information. If you are not available to come in the day before care starts, we recommend
you allow at lest 30 minutes of settling in time on your first day.
OPEN DOOR POLICY
Parents are welcome anytime at PKLC. You may come in to visit your child whenever you feel
the need to do so. We encourage you to participate in the daily activities such as art projects,
story time, game time, and even feeding your infant. You are also welcome to join us anytime for
lunch with your child. We ask that you call ahead so that a plate can be prepared for you since
NO OUTSIDE foods are allowed into class. We do ask that all visitors WASH HANDS WHEN
ENTERING THE CLASSROOM.
CONFIDENTIALITY
PeaceKids respects each family's personal life. Our staff is expected to adhere to a
confidentiality policy. We ask that each family show the same respect of others that enter the
center.
ENROLLMENT PROCESS
All enrollment forms must be completed PRIOR to leaving your child in our care. We require a
non-refundable enrollment fee of $75 per family to be paid at the time of enrollment. The
following is a checklist that can assist you in ensuring everything is complete. You may also be
given a specific classroom list of items needed.
