Important Information
How to Say Goodbye on the First Day…
If your child is having trouble separating from you, we suggest that you calmly reassure him/her that you will return. It is sometimes helpful to give a period that a child can understand (i.e. “I will pick you up…while you are outside, right after lunch, during free choice.” Etc.) After letting your child know that you will return (although it may be difficult) we suggest that you say goodbye and leave. We ask that you notify a teacher in that classroom when you are ready to leave so they know it is okay to take your child from you. This teacher will comfort your child and reassure them that you will return. When good-byes become very long it usually turns into a power struggle and a very stressful situation for the child, family member, and other children in the classroom. Please feel free to call or stop in at the office throughout the day to see how things are going. A parent coming into the classroom and then leaving again, can be to too confusing to a young child, especially before they have become comfortable in this new setting. If you have any questions or concerns about how to make separating from your child be less stressful, please stop in and talk to one of the lead teachers or the director.
Open Door Policy
- Paperwork. You can find these forms on our website. We cannot provide care if the forms are not filled out and turned into the office. This is a State of Wisconsin Child Care Licensing requirement.
- Water Bottle. Please make sure your child(ren) bring(s) a labeled water bottle.

- We go outside every day, weather permitting. Please bring appropriate clothes for child to be comfortable outside. Warmer months: sunscreen and sun hats. Cooler months: Jackets and rain boots.
