Our Purpose

Play Time
Children love to run, jump, climb, and find many other ways to exert their energy. Outdoor time promotes good health by breathing fresh air and receiving sunshine. We are required to provide at minimum of one hour of outdoor playtime everyday. It is the policy of PKLC to utilize all of that time except under certain specific conditions.
• wind chill below 30 degrees
• heat index above 90 degrees
• active precipitation

During these times, children will go out for short periods of time several times during the day. We will apply sunscreen when appropriate, with your permission, and offer drinks of water as needed. Please be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather conditions and has a coat or jacket if needed.

Indoor play space is provided when available in the Fellowship Hall of Peace Lutheran Church. The children have opportunities to ride wheeled toys and play structured games to develop large muscle motor skills.

Security
As parents, we want you to feel secure in knowing that your child will be safe and well taken care while you're at work. That's why we give all parents/guardians a security code that allows them entrance into our facility.

Your child’s safety is of utmost concern to us. In the event an unfamiliar person arrives at the Center either within the secured area or on the playground, our policy is to call the police to prevent a removal of a child without parental knowledge. We will call parents to verify who is picking up the child. We will not release a child to an unfamiliar adult who cannot produce picture identification, when we have not been notified by the parents that someone other than persons on the authorized pick-up list will get the child.

The authorized pick up list contains the names of the persons allowed to pick up your child from care. These are the ONLY persons who will be allowed to take your child from our facility. Be aware that, meaning no offense to anyone, we WILL ask for photo identification for any person whom we do not recognize. The name on the identification card MUST exactly match the name on the list. We do this to ensure the safety and security of the children in our care. We understand that occasionally there may be a time of emergency that you or anyone on you list will be able to pick your child up. If this happens, please notify the office staff by telephone immediately so that we can notify the classroom staff who will be picking your child up.
