PAYMENT: Payment is required in advance and is due the first business day of each month, September through May. August is a partial month based on the number of days of care.
Full payment is due even if the child is absent. Parents will not be charged for days that the provider cannot care for the child. A $30.00 fee is charged for each returned check.
MEALS: All of the meals are provided.
DROP OFF & PICK UP: Parents should limit the amount of time required to drop off and pick up their child. The provider�s supervision or activities for other children may be sacrificed if the parent�s visit extends beyond a reasonable time. Children will not be released to anyone other than those persons previously authorized by the parents. Driver license identification is required. Always turn off the ignition while your vehicle is unattended and do not leave unattended children in the automobile.
MEDICAL: Parents must sign an authorization form before any medication will be given, including over-the-counter medication. The provider cannot care for children with fever. Fever must be naturally absent for 24 hours without the benefit of medication before a child returns to the daycare. In the event of medical emergency the provider will call for EMS services and then contact the parents. The provider will contact the parents first for less critical issues. If the parents are unavailable the child�s doctor will be notified.
HOLIDAYS: There are no paid provider holiday other than those listed on the Leander ISD calendar.
WITHDRAWAL: A minimum of one month�s notice is requested when withdrawing a child from daycare.

The telephone number for the Texas Child Abuse Hotline is (800)252-5400.
MISCELLANY: Parents must not allow children to bring any form of food or drink into the home to prevent unnecessary accidents. This especially includes bottles and �sipping� cups. There are two small dogs that reside on the premises. Daycare will be closed during periods of inclement weather as determined by closure of the Leander ISD schools. Parents may visit the daycare home at any time during business hours to observe the daycare home program and activities. A code lock on the front door allows easy access while maintaining security.
