Safety:
- Cameras are installed in every classroom and monitored by the directors at all times.
- Electronic sign-in and sign-out procedures are available for your child.
Uniforms:
Our school guidelines require students to wear uniforms. This policy helps maintain a safe and organized learning environment while encouraging a sense of unity since students are not exposed to unnecessary comparisons about clothing. Wearing uniforms also improves school safety by allowing easier identification of students and visitors. Uniform shirts and dresses are available for purchase through our main office.
Child Care Food Program:
The purpose of the Child Care Food Program is to help children under 13 years of age in day care and after-school programs receive nutritious, balanced meals every day; therefore, supporting healthier diets and encouraging positive eating habits. The CACFP nutrition requirements for meals and snacks served through the program are based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Under these requirements, meals and snacks include a wider variety of vegetables and fruits, more whole grains, and reduced added sugar and saturated fats. Additionally, the standards support breastfeeding and better align the CACFP with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) along with other Child Nutrition Programs.
