FSDC Policies
Bad Weather Policy
Every effort will be made to remain open during snow emergencies. If the center must remain closed, open late, or close early, every attempt will be made to reach parents by phone, Remind Me app, Facebook, and Newzjunky and reported to WWNY TV 7.
FEE FOR LATE PICKUP
The center closes at 5:30 and closing time is strictly observed. A $5.00 late charge will be made for every minute that his/her child is here after stated closing time. The rate is for each child-if you have 2 children-it is $10.00 PER minute. If parents are going to be late, they need to call the center.
PLEASE BE SENSITIVE TO YOUR CHILD’S NEEDS & THE STAFF’S NEEDS: ARRIVE ON TIME!
Give yourself ample time to come in and talk with your child’s teacher and collect your child’s belongings before closing time.
Notify the center:
Please remember to call the center by 8:00 am if your child will not be in attendance. This will help us with staffing the classrooms and also for appropriate meal counts for food preparation.
Childcare providers are Mandated Reporters under NYS OCFS Daycare Regulations.
REMINDER!!
REMEMBER: CHILDREN MUST BE FEVER FREE 24 HOURS WITHOUT MEDICATION BEFORE RETURNING TO DAYCARE.
In all cases, First Step Day Care reserves the right to send a child home with suspicious or prolonged symptoms.
