Attendance Reservations

At this time no reservations are needed. We work hard to staff for all families and children that need us. However, please let your child’s teacher know that they are to attend TLC and they will be sure to send them to us. Also let your child know they are coming to TLC.

PARTICIPATION POLICIES

Medications

We will administer life sustaining medications only. We recommend that if other medication is needed it be received before 2:45 PM or after 6 PM. If your child is on any life sustaining medications, we are required by our license to have them stored with us and have a prescription that is current for them with the medications, in order for us to administer.

Personal Belongings

Make sure your child has warm clothes as needed for outdoor play. Please send water bottles also, so that we may keep your children hydrated during the afternoons. Please label all of your child’s belongings. We will make every effort to ensure your items are not lost. We can not be liable for lost items. Please dress children each day for appropriate outdoor weather activities in the afternoon.

Poor Behavior/ Discipline

TLC@BCES believes in RESPECT for everyone! We will only speak to your child with respect when we need to provide discipline. Should there be a problem, your child will be given two verbal warnings to correct a behavior. We will work hard with you and your child to ensure their success, but respect and kindness is imperative. Should we be experiencing any behavior problems, you will be advised. We will create a behavior plan that parents, child and TLC must agree to. If the problem continues to be ongoing, your child will no longer be able to attend TLC After School Program.

Mutual Respect

Please know that we are working with your children by choice and in good faith. We simply can not continue to work with parents that continually run late in picking up their children or who are regularly rude to our staff. Should either of these situations occur, your child will no longer be welcome to attend our program. I hope that you will understand and respect our position on this issue.

Accidents/Illness/Emergencies

When a child becomes ill or is injured during the after school program, the parent/guardian will be contacted. If the parent can not be reached our staff will adhere to the emergency contact information on your child’s registration form. Please notify us immediately if changes occur in phone numbers or emergency contacts for your child. Should we not be able to reach anyone listed, we will take emergency actions necessary for the safety of your child.

Emergency Preparedness

According to our license, we will be conducting emergency drills each month. Those drills will include; fire drills, lock down drills, and lock out drills. Lock out drills will take us walking distance from school. Each of these drills will happen 3 times during the year. Fire drills will now happen monthly. See Director for Information.

In the event that we have to relocate your children due to an actual threat we will notify all parents by cell phone. Your children will be able to be picked up at the following location: Castle Peak Senior Center.

Late Pick Up

The after school program operates from 2:50 PM – 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. We close at 6PM. If you will be later than 6PM please call and notify us. Should you run late regularly we will need to charge you $1 per minute for every minute you are late. We hate to have to do that, so make arrangements for someone to pick your child up should you be running late regularly. All of our children have had a long day by 6PM, most importantly they need you to be on time, to see them.

Payments

Payment information will be collected at the time of registration. Please contact Tom directly at tom@learningcamp.com with any questions.
