Family Engagement
We foster a partnership with parents and families to deliver optimal care and education to children. Essential to this collaboration is effective communication between childcare staff and families. Parents are encouraged to visit the classroom anytime, fostering quality time with their child. Teachers maintain communication throughout the day via Brightwheel or phone calls as needed. Additionally, we conduct progress meetings twice a year or as needed to discuss the child’s education and development.
Guidance Policy
At CF Daycare, we are committed to fostering healthy development in children, emphasizing creativity, independence, responsibility, and social maturity. We employ a positive approach to discipline, creating a safe and enjoyable environment. Staff models acceptable behavior, encourages conflict resolution skills, and redirects or removes children when necessary. Clear explanations are provided for unacceptable behavior, offering alternatives and allowing time for calm reflection. We collaborate with parents to address behavioral challenges, and in extreme cases, may contact parents if a child's behavior becomes uncontrollable, requesting their immediate attention.
Security
Ensuring safety is our utmost priority. Our building is secure, with locked doors accessible only to those with a key fob. Only individuals listed in the emergency contact and release section of the enrollment form are authorized to pick up a child. Each approved pickup person has a unique sign-in code for checking the child in and out of childcare.
