FAQ

AGES SERVED

We serve ages 6 weeks to 12 years old. 

Please keep in mind that we do not provide transportation to and from the daycare. 

NON-DISCRIMINATION

 In accordance with the state licensing regulations, child care services are available without discrimination on sex, religion beliefs, race, color, marital beliefs, creed, disability, sexual orientation, political belief, national origin or ancestry. Also, whether your child is potty trained, does not exclude them from being able to attend Highland Daycare.

TOYS AND PERSONAL ITEMS

We are not responsible for broken toys. We are also not responsible for any personal items. 

BIRTHDAYS

Birthdays are a very special event for the children.  We celebrate the day on or as close as possible to the actual date.  Parents are encouraged to add to the festivities for their child by providing cupcakes etc.  Arrangements to recognize individual birthdays of children need to be made with the staff a week prior to the big day.

TRANSPORTATION

Highland Daycare does not offer any transportation. It is the parents’ responsibility to transport their children to and from the center. 

INFANT FEEDING

Formula for infants is prepared as directed on the can unless documented otherwise in writing, OR that parents send it prepared. Also, the learning center DOES NOT USE bottle warmers, microwaves or crockpots for bottle warming.

SUPPLIES FOR YOUR CHILD

It is MANDATORY to bring your child with the following items: 

Infants: Bottles, formula, any foods the child is eating, pacifier, bibs, blankets, 2 crib sheets, diapers, wipes, toothbrush, diaper cream and 1 complete extra set of clothing. 

Children beyond age 12 months will be introduced to sippy cups and rest mats.

• Toddlers: Sippy Cups, crib sheet, blanket, 1 complete extra sets of clothing, pull-ups and wipes, toothbrush and toothpaste. Please try to keep pacifiers at home. At this age children can take them away from each other to put into their mouths, not very sanitary. 
• Preschool: Parents need to supply blankets, crib sheets (they cover rest mats), toothbrush and a complete set of extra clothing. A backpack is useful for transporting school papers, notices, daily grams and projects.
• Children’s supply levels must be maintained. Staff will inform you when supplies are running low. Please replenish them as soon as possible. 
• Blankets, sheets and bibs are to be taken home at the end of your scheduled week for laundering and returned the following week. Some families trade clean items when they take home dirty items to avoid forgetting to return clean items. If your child is ill at school, bring home these items for laundering to avoid the spread of germs.

MEALS – SNACKS – NUTRITION

Highland Daycare will provide lunch and an afternoon snack with milk or water to all the children. We will provide plastic ware if necessary for your child. Children are not permitted to bring junk foods from their home to Highland Daycare. Children do not need chocolate, donut, cupcakes, ice cream, fried foods, soft drinks and candy. In addition to having little nutritional value, these foods promote dental cavities. Highland Daycare is dedicated to promoting healthy eating among young children as healthy eating habits are one of the most important lessons a child learns. We thank you again for your support.

Lunch is served between: 12:10 PM and 12:50 PM

Mid-Afternoon snack is served between 2:40 PM and 2:55 PM

Note on food allergy:

If your child has any kind of food allergies, please be sure to let the staff know so that we can have it posted.
