Program Guidelines
- We offer breakfast at 7:00 am for those we transport to school. There are potentially six different schools, so breakfast is not served after 7:15 to allow them time to finish before we leave at 7:30.
- Each child has his/her own labeled cubby for belongings: backpack, coat, snow clothes, etc.
- After school pick up is offered on regular and early out days. Children arrive and put away belongings, wash hands, and choose one of two healthy snacks offered.
- Weather permitting, we have outside recess after snack, after cleaning up the class.
- If they have homework they would like to complete, we provide pencils, erasers, crayons, scissors, etc., as well as help and support if requested.
- We offer extracurricular activities: gymnastics and potential field trips on public school holidays.
- We use a social and emotional curriculum 1-3 times weekly called Second Step. It's an interactive way to help build confidence and self-esteem and teach children how to show respect for self and others. It's been a great way to build relationships amongst the students as well as the teachers.
- All school age students help clean up the class – cleaning tables, stacking chairs on tables, sweeping, emptying recycle into garbage bag and tying, washing mirrors, restocking toilet paper/ paper supplies, organizing toy/art shelves, organizing library shelves, washing walls/gates/door knobs/light switches/etc. We feel these activities are valuable life skills. As they grow, we increase the difficulty of assigned tasks to increase his/her skill level. Each student then washes their hands and then returns to class activities till parents arrive for evening pick up.
- Procare allows us to send info on your child’s day, with pictures and messages between teachers and parents. It’s a great communication tool!
- Our bathroom has four stalls; the first three have four feet barriers, the last stall has a full wall. After signs of puberty begin, school age children are welcome to use this stall for privacy.
- We encourage students to talk through problems they have and will gladly help guide the process until a successful resolution is reached.
- We are certified High Quality through the Child Care Quality System! Visit jobs.utah.gov/occ/provider/quality for more information.
- Please feel free to ask any questions you have
