Please

and safe child care experience. Payment
of FEES
All fees for students MUST be paid on Mondays. If you have not paid
by Tuesday Morning, the Center staff will not accept your
child. Also, if your child is in the SACC (School Age Child Care) program and the fee is not
paid, please be aware that your child will not be picked up from Rowen
School on Tuesday. Your child will remain in the Rowen School office
until he/she is picked up by you. If you wish, you may pay
bi-monthly or monthly as long as it is paid prior to the week of the
child's attendance. All fee envelopes must contain the correct
amount of money (cash or money order only) in order to keep accurate
records. We have no feasible way of giving you change. Lateness
Day Care Children must be in school every day before 9:30 a.m.
If your child has a medical appointment, please inform the teacher the day
before the lateness is to occur. No child will be admitted
after 9:30 a.m. Pick-Up
Please remember these important points. Our Center is opened from 7
a.m. until 6 p.m. Late fee is $5.00 for every 5 minutes you are late
and must be paid to the staff person on duty. I encourage you to
arrive by 5:55 p.m. (See note on front door). Call the Center to
inform staff when someone other than the person identified will come for
your child because of lateness. That person must have
identification. If you are aware of extended lateness other than a
few minutes, please call the Center. Illness
of Children
Please call the Center if your child is ill and will be absent for a day
or longer. If your child has a temperature or a consistent cough, do
not send him/her to school. Let us be considerate of the other
children and staff. Fee must be paid on the day your child returns
to school. There is no reduction in fee because of a sick day or
because you are home from work. For an extended illness (a week or
more), a doctor's note is required before the child is admitted. Breakfast
or Morning Snacks
Children may not eat breakfast in school or continue to eat snacks which
they began in the car. Day Care children have snack time at 10:30
a.m. and 3:30 p.m. SACC children have snacks in the afternoon. Show
and Tell Day
Friday of each week is Show and Tell Day. On that day your children
may bring a toy or game to share with their friends. Please do not
send an expensive, delicate game which might be easily broken. Birthday
Parties
You may celebrate your child's birthday here at the Center with either
store bought cookies or cupcakes and ice cream. Inform your child's
teacher the week before their birthday is to be celebrated. Any
items brought in for a party must be purchased from a bakery or
store. Sorry, no homemade treats. Lunch
Time
Children will not be accepted any day without their lunch.
You may not leave the child while you shop for lunch. (In case of an
emergency and you do not get back, your child is then left without any
lunch). We are not equipped for warming food for lunch.
Please use a thermos to keep food warm, and tell the teacher so the lunch
box will not be placed in the refrigerator. Please see that your
child has a well balanced lunch. Fruit and healthy snacks are much
better for your child than candy and salty chips. Helmets
A ruling from the state of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania Child Welfare
Office states that "All children must use helmets when riding
on bikes, tricycles, wagons or any other mobile riding equipment.
Please see that your child has his/her helmet immediately in the center,
and please remember to write his/her name inside the helmet. You can
purchase helmets at "Toys R Us" or any Sporting Goods
Store. This is a State Regulation! Regulations
for Coverings
When blankets/sheets are sent home on Friday, they must be washed before
returning them to school on Monday. Even if they do not look dirty,
they are soiled and full of germs. All children must have a
blanket/sheet or both at all times with names written in permanent marker
or a label. Twin size sheets please, so that we can cover the child
when resting. Children who do not have coverings will not be
accepted. This is also a State Regulation! Change
of Clothing
Every child must have a change of clothing in school at all times.
If one set is sent home because of an accident, please replace the
clothing the next day. Write names on clothing with permanent
ink. Parents will be contacted to pick-up any child who has an
accident and who does not have a change of clothing here at the center. Prescription
and Non-Prescription Medications in School
We do not have a Nurse on regular duty, therefore we do not dispense
medication of any kind to children of the Center. Medications can
cause dangerous, adverse or allergic reactions if the wrong dosage is
given. Therefore, we cannot assume that responsibility. If
your child has any health problems or is taking prescription medication
for any reason, it is important for you to let the Director know who will
in turn inform the teachers. Conduct
and Discipline
The purpose of our Center is to educate, build good skills and to assist
the children in developing cognitively, socially and physically.
This cannot be accomplished when there are students who disrupt the
classroom or create a situation where students, staff or guests feel
unsafe. Children who are constantly misbehaving and being disruptive
will be placed in time-out and you as parents will be notified.
Continued misbehavior could result in your child being dismissed from the
Center. Emergency
Closing of Schools
When inclement weather makes it necessary to close all Philadelphia Public
Schools for a full day, Mt. Airy Baptist Church Center will be closed
also. If the decision is made to close the schools during the day
before regular dismissal time, we will begin calling parents, guardians or
escorts, letting you know that the Center will close (1) hour after the
Philadelphia Public Schools have closed. When you hear the
announcement that schools are closing early (by radio, T.V. or word of
mouth), call the Center to let us know who will pick up your child.
That will in turn save us a telephone call. Thank
you visiting the Mt. Airy Baptist Church
Christian Child Care Center website.

Bettye J. Hill, Director - Telephone: (215) 424-7999
