POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Preschool and Care Schedule: LKC Preschool is open from 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and on scheduled date nights. Please refer to the attached calendar for dates that we are closed. All rates have been prorated to include extended days, holidays, and closings. For week long holidays (example: Christmas week) 2 rollover days will be given. We will notify you of any schedule changes in writing, 30 days in advance.
Scheduling: Ongoing regular childcare schedules are arranged via the LKC form or email request and LKC staff approval. Ongoing schedule changes (increase or decrease in hours, day or time changes, etc.) require 30 days written notice (subject to LKC staff approval and availability). Extra hours or days may be requested in writing (or email) as little as 24 hours in advance, but are subject to availability and LKC staff approval.
Rollover Benefit: If your child will not require childcare on their scheduled day, for any reason (including sickness), notify LKC before 8:30am on the scheduled day to receive a rollover day. Rollover days are days for which you paid, but did not use. These rollover days can be applied to additional childcare above and beyond your regularly scheduled care, including “date nights.” Rollover days cannot be split into hourly increments. Rollover days are subject to availability, and expire at the end of the following calendar month. Rollover days are limited to one day awarded per day OR calendar week missed. If your child is sent home sick after arrival at LKC, no rollover is awarded.
Tuition: Tuition is due in advance either weekly (Mondays) or monthly (on the first). If tuition payment is 5 or more days late, rollover and free “date night” benefits for that month will be cancelled. If payment is 1 week late, tuition discounts no longer apply for that month and there will be an additional $20 charge. Rollover days cannot be used as a credit against tuition.
Trial Enrollment: All children will be enrolled for a trial period of four consecutive weeks of care. During the trial period either the provider or parent may terminate childcare without advance notice. After completion of the trial period, 30 days written notice is required for termination by either party.
Clothing: Please provide one full set of labeled clothing, including underwear (and a swimsuit during the warm seasons). We have a very active program, please ensure that your child’s attire allows for this. Since backless sandals/clogs and flip-flops are unsafe on the playground, only full-coverage shoes or full Velcro-type sandals are permitted.
Toys: Each child may bring one soft stuffed toy and/or blanket if they require a naptime. All other toys need to stay at home, or will be given back to the delivering parent.
Vacation Policy: Continued payment for childcare is required during your personal vacations. Payment is due before departure to ensure continued enrollment. One rollover day per missed calendar week will be awarded.
Outside Enrichment Programs: LKC provides delivery, interaction, and pick up to specific outside enrichment programs tailored to the child’s interests, age, and abilities. These outside programs (theatre, dance, ranch, music, spanish, gym, etc.) are optional, and enrollment fees are paid by the parents.
