Showers' Daycare opens at 5:00am. Please accompany your child into the playroom. The same procedure should be followed at pick up time.

 

Occasionally you may wish to send someone other than yourself to drop off or pick up your child for the day. Be sure to notify any persons doing so of the arrival & departure procedure. Always notify Showers' Daycare shoud there be someone rather than you dropping off or picking up for the day.

 

Any persons taking your place drop off/pick up times MUST be listed on the Registration Form under "Persons Authorized to pick up my child". If they are no listed a written authorization from you is required. Showers' Daycare will NOT relaease the child without your approval for both the protection of your child and daycare. ANY person other than yourself that is picking your child up MUST have photo ID with them.

 

1. Seperation: It is normal for some children to have difficulty separating from the parents in the morning or not wanting to leave when it's time to go home. Please be very brief (no more than 5 minutes) during these transition times. The longer your prolong the departure, the harder it gets for the little one. A smile, cheerful good-bye kiss and a reassuring word that you will be back are all that is usually needed to signal your departure. In my experience, children are nearly always quick to get involved in the activities as soon as the parent leaves, so don't worry - it gets easier each time.

2. Boundaries: This is also a time of testing when two different authority figures are present (the parent and the provider). All the children will test to see if the rules sill apply, during arrivals and departures, I expect parents to back up my rules. If you do not, I will remind the child that their behavior is inappropriate and take action to correct if needed.

3. Safety: Please be in control of your child during arrivals and departures. At departures, please do not let your chld leave the facility until you are leaving also. Children are not permitted to go outside unattended due to cars arriving and departing in the driveway.
