The importance of prompt arrival cannot be overemphasized. The particular way in which the teacher begins each morning has an affect on a child’s participation in class. Late arrival in the classroom deprives the child of a proper beginning to his day.

Please arrive between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m. so the children can begin as a group without the disruptions of late arrivals.

Your child is in the sensitive period for order. Consistency in the daily routine is vital to his feeling of security.

Daily Dismissal

The teachers prepare the half day children for dismissal between 11:45 and noon, the full day children for dismissal between 3:30 and 3:40.

Promptness is especially important at the 12:00 dismissal. Lunch begins at 12:00; it is very hard on the younger children, who are waiting to leave, to see that class is going on without them. They become very hungry and naturally want to stay. It is also hard on the other children who wish to share food with their friends.
