Morning and afternoon snacks are offered to all children in attendance. The Day Academy provides milk to accompany breakfast (food) brought from home. Infants and toddlers using formula or baby food must bring these items from home.

2. Do I bring my own diapers? Yes, families supply diapers and wipes for their non-toilet-trained children.

3. How many weeks vacation credit do I get each year? One. Each child earns one week of vacation credit after their initial six-month period of attendance, and then every 12 months after. Vacation credit is equal to one week's scheduled attendance. Your child must be absent to receive a vacation credit.

4. If my child is sick or does not attend, do I still have to pay? Yes. Tuition is charged for all contracted time, regardless of attendance. You may use vacation credit if your child is gone for 5 consecutive days.

8. When is my weekly payment due? Fees are due by the Wednesday of the week that care is given. If payment is not received by Wednesday, a late fee will be assessed. Unpaid balances may result in dismissal.

This same enrollment fee is also charged annually and is due by May 31st of each year. After May 31st, the re-enrollment fee is $45 for one child, or $65 for 2 or more children. If your child enrolls after January 31stand before May 31st, no additional re-enrollment fee is charged until the following May.

12. Can I visit my child's classroom? Of course. Parents are welcome to visit any time. All of our classroom doors have windows, so you can observe without your child seeing you, or you are welcome to come into the classroom.

13. What do I need to provide for my child? We ask that you bring in a change of weather-appropriate clothing, including socks and shoes. Children enrolled in a room with a nap/rest time should bring in nap items (including pillow, blanket, soft toy to sleep with, pacifier, etc.), which will be left at the center throughout the week and are sent home on Fridays for laundering. Medication that your child may need or any ointments, including sunscreen, may be brought and you will need to fill out appropriate paperwork. Your chold will also need appropriate season items such as boots, hat and snow pants in winter and swimsuit and towel in summer. Bottles or any special food items your child requires may be given directly to your child's teacher. All items brough from home must be labeled with the child's first and last names
