My mission statement:
My goal at Angels Academy Child Care is to instill Gods love and
Christian morals into your childs life. I want your child to find the
enjoyment that Gods love can bring to their lives, as well as teach them
the basics they will need in daily life. I have a play based curriculum, as
children learn best through play and exploration. Their ABCs and 123s,
colours, animals and shapes will be included in their daily play. Parents
can be assured that their children will be shown the love and respect that
every child needs and deserves.
HOURS OF OPERATION
Hours of operation are 7:30am 5:30pm, Monday-Friday. Closed on
statutory holidays.

If you would like to hold a spot in the dayhome for longer than one
month, I ask that you pay half the monthly fee to hold the spot every
month until the start date.
I ask that you pay a $100 non-refundable deposit that goes towards
the first month of care. If this is not received, the spot will not be
held for your child.

LATE ARRIVAL PICKUP POLICY

Please advise Angels Academy as soon as possible if your child will
be arriving earlier or later than their usual time. I may not be ready
if you dont notify me that you will be earlier, and we may be gone
for a walk or at the park if you are arriving later.
Please advise Angels Academy if you will be arriving later than the
pre-arranged time to pick up your child. I like to know, so I can give
assurance to your child that they will be picked up at a certain time.
It is your responsibility to ensure your child is picked up no later
than 5:30pm.
There is a fee of $15 for every 15 minutes fee if a child is left at
Angels Academy after hours. If a child is left more than a half hour
after closing time, and parents have not responded to request for
pickup, emergency contacts will be contacted for pickup. Late fee is
due prior to the next days care.

 If I specify that I have an appointment and need children picked up

at a certain time, please ensure that someone is here for pickup, if
not you will be responsible for a missed appointment fee of $40.
Please notify Angels Academy if someone else will be picking up
your child.
Verbal or written permission must be received from the parent, and
a government issued photo ID must be shown before a child can be
released to anyone I have not yet met.

me quickly so that I have room for your child.

PARENTAL INVOLVMENT
There is an open door policy. We allow parents to visit, and stay
after dropping their child off as long as they please. Just keep in
mind that the longer you linger at the door the more difficult it can
be on the child.
It is important that the parents and I communicate. I will be honest
with you about anything going on in the dayhome and with your
child, and any concerns I may have about their development. I
expect the same in return. Please do not hesitate to share any
suggestions or concerns you may have.
Parent/Guardian Initials __________
ILLNESS POLICY

 Refunds will not be given for days your child does not attend due to
sickness.
Please notify me as soon as possible if your child is not going to be
attending due to illness. Also if a child has a more serious ailment
such as lice, chicken pox, strep throat, hand foot mouth disease, etc.
Therefore, I can notify the other parents to keep an eye on their
children as well.
If your child has any illness that may be passed onto others
(excluding the common cold), they must be kept at home to protect
the wellbeing of the children in my care, as well as myself.
Children are not permitted to return until they have been symptom
free without the aid of medication for at least 24 hours
If the child is not well enough to participate in daily activities
(playing, running, neighborhood walks) without the aid of
medication, they should not be attending.
If a child becomes ill while in my care, (vomit, diarrhea, fever,
unexplained rash, etc.) arrangements will be made to pick up the
child from the dayhome.

another child will not be tolerated and will result in immediate
termination at the parents expense.
