Late Arrival Policy: (Classroom Phone: 860-709-2830)
A late arrival policy us put in place to assure that children and staff have a smooth transition into their day. Children who arrive after the start of class may have difficulty transitioning, or may miss important learning opportunities such as opening circle.
Teachers also have the responsibility of placing the daily food order at the very start of the program day. Your child's prompt arrival is necessary for ordering the correct number of meals.
If your child will be late for any reason, the teachers should be called (860-709-2830) prior to the start of the classroom day so that a lunch will be available for him/her. If you do not notify the teachers of a late arrival you may be asked to bring an approved lunch for that day.
Unfortunately, teachers are not able to spend time talking with parents once class begins. Parents who wish to speak with the teacher should make an appointment for another time or come in the following day prior to start time.
Thank you for working with us to assure that everyone - children, staff and parents - are prepared for a successful day.
