MORE **POLICY UPDATES AND CHANGES**

Additional amendments:

  • Our Enrollment fee has been reduced to $40 and it will be a one time fee as opposed to annually.
  • Vacation payments are due the Friday before the daycare or your family goes on vacation.

Please also remember to sign your child in and out of daycare and help them in the morning to take off their outerwear and shoes.

Hurricane Earl

I'm sure you have heard about Hurricane Earl, it is currently a category 4 storm down in the Carolinas and estimates are that it (hopefully) may be downgraded to a category 2 by the time it reaches New England (sometime Friday). The coastal areas are expected to be the hardest hit and you can expect rainy, windy weather all day, with the heaviest winds in the afternoon. You may see tree limbs down, power outages and flooding so be prepared. Some recommendations on how to prepare:
-Remove and store all patio furniture and outside equipment that may blow around and cause damage to windows or doors.
-Make sure you have flashlights, batteries, candles (with matches), coolers,a portable radio etc. in case you lose power.
-Charge your cell phones and make contingency contact plans with family members.
-If flooding gets really bad, gather your important documents (passports, wills, etc.)and protect them in a waterproof bag or case.

I hope that the course of this storm moves away from this area but it is better to be prepared than to be sorry.

**POLICY UPDATES AND CHANGES**

As everyone knows, Stacey's Incredible Kids, LLC is still a new entity. With the said we are always working and updating policies to help fit the needs of parents and those who voice opinions and concerns. Here are a couple of items that will be revised in our policy manual effective immediately.

  • This will be the last month juice and wipes will be needed at the beginning of the month. If you haven't done so already please bring in this month's supplies.
  • Our new business hours are 7:30am-6:00pm. Though everyone may have different pickup and drop off times you will not be penalized if you pick up your child later than agreed before 6pm. Late charges will apply after the 15 minute grace period. (This means you have until 6:15pm before you receive a late fee). I would appreciate if you are picking up later than your regular time that you let me know if advance when able.
  • As you notice our doors are open in the morning. After 9:30am the doors are locked for security reasons. Breakfast is not served after this time.
  • Silly Bands are not allowed at the daycare. Children have been breaking them and leaving on the fall which poses a choking hazard to our younger children. I also have found older children chewing on them.
At this time, we are also looking into a full time weekly rate reduction and reducing our vacation week's rate. We realize in this economy it's hard to find quality daycare at an affordable price. We do pride ourselves on having some unique features i.e. smaller home setting, daycare blog, photos for parents etc. I will announce if and when these changes are made.

I hope that some of these changes help current parents and new clients coming in. We always are always striving to be the ideal setting for our children and put less stress on our parents. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to email me. Your opinions matter and help make our daycare better!
