General Policies
Snack:
Snack will be provided in the afternoon.
Adding a Session:
Adding a session may be arranged by calling the Day Care Office or by contacting Mrs. Calsbeek. The staff will add your child’s name to the daily list. You will need to pay for the additional session on the day of service.
Change of Clothes:
If you would like your child to change clothes after school, please send the change with them in their backpack. Please impress upon your child that it is their responsibility to keep up with all their personal belongings. Please label all items with names since the children have similar items.
Homework Time:
Homework time is provided Monday through Thursday from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM for grades 1st through 8th. Kindergarten is 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM. Due to the amount of homework in the junior high grades, any student who wishes to begin homework earlier may do so at 3:00 PM. The responsibility for completing homework lies with the child. Staff will do everything possible to create a “homework” atmosphere, and will help the children upon request. If a student does not have homework, they may read, practice spelling, or color quietly during Homework Time. Please impress upon your child that they may not disturb others who are studying. The staff feels very strongly that it is important to respect the rights of other children and support a quiet and comfortable study atmosphere.
Discipline:
Visitation School Day Care follows the same discipline policies of the school. Please refer to your Student Handbook. Any child showing repeated disrespect for staff, property, or other children will be suspended from the program. Our goal is for all children to enjoy themselves while attending Visitation School Day Care. It is important to support a discipline philosophy that encourages respect for others and acknowledges the dignity of all children. The staff recognizes any problem in a cooperative manner using peaceful conflict resolution techniques that empowers them to come up with their own creative resolution. Students endangering themselves or others will be immediately dropped from the program. Students failing to report to Day Care when scheduled, or who leave the grounds for any reason, will be asked to leave the program.
Please sign the Visitation Day Care policy form below acknowledging that you have discussed with your child/children these policies and that you understand and will adhere to all mentioned policies.
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles requires this form to be signed by parents and kept on file.
