SCHOOL-AGE BEFORE
AND AFTER-SCHOOL INFORMATION
Before-school
and After-School care is available for school-age children in a warm,
nurturing environment. Your child will receive a drink and snack in the
afternoon.
At
Beacon Hill Preschool -
Transportation is provided to and from the following schools: Blake,
Cleveland Court, Carlton Palmore, Dixieland,
Southwest, Jesse Keen, and Medulla Elementary.
Before-School
Transportation—School-age children must arrive no later than 7:20
a.m. on school days to ride the bus. They
must arrive by 7:00 a.m. if they plan to eat breakfast before they
leave for school.
After-School
Transportation—As soon as school lets out each day, the bus will be
waiting at the pickup line to pick the children up and bring them back to
the center. Please let us know by 1:30 p.m. if your child will not be
riding on the bus in the afternoon. This saves precious time in
having the school, teachers, bus driver, and center attempt to locate the
child. The bus does not leave the school grounds until all children are
accounted for or reported as not on the bus. However after waiting an
extra five minutes and the child does not report to the bus, the center
will be notified that the child has not checked in and the bus will have
to depart without the child. If the child is not on the bus at
departure time and the bus has to leave, it will be the parent’s
responsibility to pick up the child from their school. The bus cannot
return to pick up a child who was late and did not board the bus before
the designated departure time.
We are not responsible
for any children who accidentally ride another bus home instead of
getting on the correct bus. The school is responsible for the children
until they step onto the bus. They are in our charge only after they are
checked in by the driver. In order for the child to be picked up he or
she must come directly to the bus to be boarded. Bus driver cannot
leave the bus to search for children.
When the elementary
schools are closed for teacher workday or during Winter and Spring
Breaks, the center is open if you need care for your child. However,
there is an additional full-day tuition fee. Activities are always
planned.
For your child’s safety
we must be very strict while traveling to and from events. It is a
serious offense when a child behaves inappropriately on the bus. All
children MUST wear their seatbelts properly at all times while on the
bus. Please discuss the seriousness of bus safety with your child, as we
will also.
FIELD TRIPS AND
SCHOOL-AGE SUMMER PROGRAM
We have fun-filled
summers with LOTS of fun-filled activities. Movies, bowling, skating,
picnics, nature hikes, arts & crafts, field trips and many other
events to keep our summer camp kids happy. Every school-age child must
have a signed and notarized field trip permission form on site and
up-to-date emergency contact information in order to participate.
There will be an extra
cost for skating, movies, bowling, etc. It will be a nominal fee that
will have to be paid separate from tuition fees during the summer months.
(These fees will need to be paid in cash and in advance for every
event.) Note: Children who have any kind of behavior
problems while on field trips may be permanently suspended from further
trips away from the center.
Parents are always
welcome to accompany us on field trips. In fact we encourage it!! Please
contact the Director for more information.
