friends and co-workers leave the area. We require the child release designees to present proof of
identification. A child release designee must be 13 year or older.
SAS
Parents, legal guardians, siblings, or those individuals designated in writing are required to
drop off and pick up their child from the program. Arrivals and departures at SAS will be made
through the front door. Children may not be dropped of at the door or in the parking lot.
Arrival. When you bring your child to the program you must record your child’s arrival on
the daily attendance sheet in the activity room. For hourly care (if available), you must record
your child’s arrival at the front desk. Please be sure that you have accurate emergency contact
information in your child’s file. Make sure the staff member on duty is aware of your child’s
arrival before you leave the room. School age children attending SAS after school are able to
ride the school bus from their school to SAS.
Departure. At departure time, hourly patrons must pay their childcare fees prior to picking
up the child from the activity room. You must sign you child out from the front office. Please
allow adequate time for you child to clean up before leaving. Encouraging your child to clean up
before going home helps us to teach your child responsibility. It is important to take a few
moments to talk with the staff about your child’s day. This not only keeps you informed, but it
lets your children know that you are interested in what they do each day. Do not forget to ask
you child if he or she has work to take home. The children work hard during the day using a
variety of media and materials. They are very proud of their work, but never quite as proud as
when you show interest in their efforts. Your interest and praise will encourage your child’s
creativity and build self-esteem.
Child Release. You may authorize someone else to pick up or drop off you child. However,
we require advance notification in writing. Child release designees must be listed on the child’s
registration paperwork, which you sign. Please remember to keep these names undated as
friends and co-workers leave the area. We require the child release designees to present proof of
identification. A child release designee must be 13 years of age or older.
Middle School/Teen Program (YS)
Youth are required to sign themselves in upon arrival. Youth may leave unaccompanied at
any time. Our responsibility for the youth ends once he or she signs out of the program. If your
youth is participating in a special field trip, a sponsor consent form will be required.
FCC Home
Parents, legal guardians, siblings, or those individuals designated in writing are required
to drop off and pick up their child from the provider’s home. Children receiving care in an FCC
home may not be dropped off at the curb to walk to the home alone.
Arrival. When you bring your child to the home you must sign in your child. Hourly
program you must record your child’s arrival on the daily attendance sheet in the home. For
hourly care, you must record your arrival at the home. Please be sure that you have accurate
emergency contact information in your child’s file. Assisting your child in removing his or her
outerwear (if needed) is helpful to the provider as he or she needs to supervise the other children
