Day-to-Day
Transportation: Parents are to provide transportation to and from Green Acres. All school age children ride a public school bus to and from school. A contracted school bus with parent chaperones and staff are used for school trips. There will be a nominal charge for class trips using contracted school bus transportation.
Cubbies: Each child has their own cubby, suppied with a rest mat if the child will be napping. Parents are to provide a crib sheet to cover the mat and a small, crib-size blanket. If a child has a special naptime item such as a blanket, stuffed animal, etc. please include this so they will feel comfortable and secure at rest time. Also, a change of clothing including socks and underwear should be kept in the cubby (in a plastic shoe box with the child's name on it) for emergency purposes. PLEASE LABEL ALL PERSONAL BELONGINGS, INCLUDING EXTRA CLOTHING AND BEDDING. Children who do not nap will be brought to another room for quiet play.
Breakfast: If a child does not have time to eat breakfast at home, a box of cereal (with child's name) may be sent in and the child will be given cereal and milk as long as he/she arrives before 8:00 AM. Breakfast wil not be served after 8:00 AM as snack is given at 9:30 AM. Morning and afternoon snacks are provided by Green Acres for the children enrolled in the child care program.
Lunch: Parents provide lunch for full-time children. Milk, juice and basic necessities are provided by Green Acres, so you do not need to send in utensils or beverages. Square lunch boxes are convenient and fit in cubbies nicely. Foods may be heated or refrigerated as needed. At lunchtime, a teacher is available at each table to cut fruit, open food, etc. Children are encouraged to eat the nourishing foods first and the dessert after they finish the main meal. Some lunch suggestions are dinner leftovers, a sandwich and fruit or yogurt, and a snack. Please do not pack too many sweets. If pudding is packed, cupcakes or another sweet is not needed. Licensing requires that children bring a balanced lunch including a fruit and/or vegetable, a protein, and a grain. |
