SCHEDULING AND COMMUNICATION
Regular schedule
When registering your child you will indicate the time block needed. The time block
your child is registered for, whether it’s full-time, school hours, part-time, or
kindergarten time, is your child’s regular schedule. A regular student schedule will be
established from the time blocks indicated in your registration materials.
Drop-in-scheduling
Drop-in care is available on a
space-available basis
. Please communicate in
advance when you would like your child to be in drop-in care.
Schedule change
When you anticipate a change in your normal schedule prior notice is required. If you
wish to have your child in care for hours not registered, and space is available, you
will be billed hourly for that time. It will be added to your regular monthly bill. Please
communicate when your child will not be in on a given day for illness or other
reasons. You may notify your child’s teacher, the Center Director or the receptionist.
Permanent schedule change
If you would like to change your child’s time block, you will need to communicate as
soon as possible and fill out a new time block contract. We will do our best to
accommodate your request.
Holidays
Prior to federal, state, and school holidays, sign-up sheets will be posted for parents to
communicate their child’s schedule. The Director will use this information to staff the
Center appropriately. For this reason, any change to your normal schedule
must
be
communicated on the sign-up sheet in advance in order for the Center to
accommodate your request. This information is important for scheduling staff and
honoring vacation requests.
Illness
If your child will not be coming in for the day due to illness, please contact KLA by
8:15 am. When you call, be sure to communicate what symptoms your child is
experiencing. This helps the staff to monitor the health of other children in the
Center.
Emergency Contact
Parents will fill out an Emergency Contact form when registering their child. This
form includes the family’s home phone number as well as parents work numbers and
cell phone numbers, if applicable. Parents also need to include an alternative
emergency contact. This person is someone who would be available to come and care
for the child in the event of an emergency when the Center is unable to reach either
parent. This information is required by the State of Washington.
