(KLA) Handbook

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.
