HOMEWORK - We provide children with an afternoon snack and a few minutes to
relax before they begin their homework. Children need time to unwind after a
hectic day of school! Children who do not have homework will be asked to read
quietly or find a quiet activity during homework time. Our teachers offer
homework assistance and encouragement. Please understand that licensing and
accreditation standards do not allow us to force children to do homework, nor are
we allowed to insist that children complete all their homework assignments
before they can engage in other activities.

REMINDER - Please make sure that your child has a complete change of clothing
here at all times! This is so important – anything can happen, and it usually does. If
your child has an accident and there is not a change of clothes available, you will
be called to come for your child.

Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions or concerns (723-7071).
