WEE
Policies & Procedures - General
Weekday Early Education at Mayfield Road Baptist Church
WEE@MRBC is sensitive
to the needs of each parent and child. If you have any
concerns or questions not addressed herein, please see the Director.
Mission and
Purpose
The mission of the WEE@MRBC program is to
extend the ministry of the church by providing biblically
based, age-appropriate education for preschoolers and to
support the home.
The purpose of the WEE@MRBC Program is to
fulfill the need of a nurturing, educational environment for
the families in our church as well as our community.
Enrollment
Information
WEE@MRBC accepts children from the age of 12
months through 4 years old. The child must be the designated
age by September 1st of the current school year. This school
does not discriminate against any child based on race,
color, religious belief, national origin, or gender. We
reserve the right to determine a child’s eligibility based
on special/medical needs. If we are unable to meet the needs
of such a child, he/she may not be accepted into the
program.
In order for your child to attend class, the
office must have the following information on file:
• Completed Enrollment Form
• Completed Health Requirement Sheet
• A signed copy of the parent acknowledgement regarding the
“Parent’s Guide to Daycare.”
All necessary paperwork and fees must be
submitted in order for your child to attend class.
Drop-in policy
A child may drop in on a day he/she is not
usually at school. The child must be currently enrolled in
our school and there must be space available in the class.
See registration information for the drop-in fee.
Tuition and
Fees
Tuition is due on the first class day that
your child attends each month. Checks should be made payable
to WEE@MRBC. Please do not put your check in your child’s
bag. The office staff will be available at the front desk to
accept your payment. We will not hold a check past the
designated “late payment” date. We charge a fee for
insufficient checks. See your registration packet for the
specified amount. There will be receipts given if needed for
cash payments.
Tuition payments are late if not made by the
10th of the month, unless special arrangements have been
made with the Director. A “late notice” will be sent home in
the event of non-payment and an additional fee will be
applied. There are no deductions made for absences. Tuition
is paid on a ten-month basis (August -May).
The annual registration and supply fees are
due at the time of enrollment and are non-refundable. These
fees secure a place for your child and provide a complete
developmental evaluation as well as daily supplies and
materials necessary for instruction.
WEE@MRBC is a non-profit organization.
Childcare expenses for working parents are tax deductible.
Statements will be available upon request.
**TUITION

Schedules
Please park in
the west parking lot and enter through the southern most
double doors that lead into the main hallway. That hallway
leads to the reception area, located on the left side inside
the large, glass-walled entry.
School hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
(Monday - Friday). Children are not allowed into the
classroom before 8:55 so teachers can finish preparations
for the day. Parents must sign their child in each morning
on the sign in/out sheet located outside their child’s
classroom. Please include all information needed on the
sheet.
School dismisses promptly at 2:30 p.m.
Parents must sign their child out each day on the sign
in/out sheet located outside their child’s classroom.
Children who have not been picked up by 2:40 will be taken
to the office and a late fee will be assessed. Some of our
teachers have their own school-age children to pick up and
need to be able to leave on time.
Dismissal
Children cannot leave with anyone other than those listed on
the Enrollment Application sheet, including spouses. Persons
on this list not known by the teacher will be required to
show identification. The office must be notified if special
arrangements are to be made regarding pickup of your child.
If you arrange for someone not on the list to pick up your
child, they must have the code, must be photographed, and
sign a release for the child. We also record their driver’s
license number.
An adult must accompany children at all
times.
Class Time
WEE@MRBC has scheduled times for outdoor
play, music and chapel. Weather permitting daily outdoor
time will be observed. Please dress your child in
comfortable “play” clothes unless there is a specific need
for them to dress up. Other activities include story time,
craft, and thematic learning.
Snacks and Lunches
The school will furnish a morning snack such
as crackers, pretzels, cereal, etc., and a drink. Please be
sure your child’s teacher knows about any food allergies.
Parents must send a lunch for their child.
Please send nutritious food items that your child can handle
easily, such as finger foods or bite size items that do not
require heating or refrigerating. We cannot heat or
refrigerate any lunches. If your child uses a sipper cup,
please send one for snack time and one for lunchtime. Please
refrain from sending dark colored juices as they may stain
the child's clothing or the carpet if spilled.
Please label
everything with your child's name. The staff of WEE@MRBC
shall not be responsible for lost
articles.
Rest Period
All of the children will have a rest time
after they eat lunch. The length of time they will rest
depends on their age. There are cribs available for the one
year-old class and the two, three, and four-year-old classes
must bring a one-inch-thick rest mat with cover on it. A
king size pillowcase may slip over the mat or you may choose
to purchase a cover. You may also send a small blanket and
any security item in your child’s bag. Please label
everything with your child's name. |
