How many teachers are in a classroom?
- We strive to follow the Safe Sanctuary policies of The United Methodist Church. These policies include two adults (college-aged adults in our case) present in each teaching room and with the children on the playground.
- Our rooms are equipped with windows to the hallway and windows in the doorways as required by these policies.
- All of our staff have been cleared through background checks before they are employed for the summer.
What about lunches?
- If your child is going to stay over lunch, they will be supervised and will have a rest period following lunch.
What to bring?
- Bring whatever your child can/will eat. Refrigeration is available for lunches. Clearly mark your child’s name on the lunch and give any instructions to the director when you check in.
What about medical needs?
- The staff is CPR/First Aid certified
- Medications are administered by the Director for the summer program
- Skins and scrapes are cleaned, medicated and bandaged by the Director. Clear records are kept and you will be informed of any instance involving your child.
- Emergency treatment would require a 911 call first, then a call to the telephone number provided at each check-in.
What if I cannot get there by 5:30pm?
- All children will be monitored, most likely on the playground, until you arrive to pick them up. Continued infraction of the time may require additional arrangements with the Director.
What is worship on the schedule?
- The children come together, sing songs appropriate to their learning, listen to a Scripture reading/story relevant to what they are focusing on that day.
- The classrooms may also have worship centers set-up on which differing items are placed that remind the children that we are a part of God’s world and are called to be co-creators with God.
