Dear Parents,

 

Welcome 2025!

We have a busy year ahead of us.  Please watch Facebook for information on what’s coming up.  We don’t want you to miss out on anything. 

Playing outside is an important part of learning, even when the weather is cool.  Extra layers are a good way to help children stay warm.  The mornings and afternoons can get chilly on the playground, so please bring a jacket.  Remember to put your child’s name on items to prevent them from getting lost.  Now is a good time to check your child’s spare clothes.  They might need to be changed out for bigger sizes or warmer clothes.   

Thank you to everyone who participated in our fundraiser. We are looking into the following, making the area by the parking lot into an educational outside creative classroom.

Thanks again for all your support, it is very much appreciated.

A few reminders…

  • When signing your child in or out please remember to do it daily and use full signatures. The person signing your child in or out needs to be over 18 years of age. The sign in/out sheets are legal documents; please don’t let your child “sign” on them.
  • Please remember to drive slowly around the preschool. There are private houses and retirement houses around us; someone is always walking.
  • BoxTops is an easy way to support the Children’s Center without any expense to you.  Download the BoxTop APP, identify Lakeside Presbyterian Children’s Center and then scan your grocery receipt.  If you purchased any item with the Box Top logo, the Center would receive a check for all of the funds 2x a year. This is an easy fundraise for our school.
  • Scrip Gift Cards are a way to fundraise for our school, and recently we used the funds to install security cameras.  You simply select the business, and the dollar amount you want to spend. You pay face value, and the church/school receives a percentage in return. Shop at Albertson’s, Trader Joe’s, Walmart, Home Depot, Target?  Restaurants, yep, they participate too. These are just a small sample of the stores and restaurants on SCRIP list.  The church takes orders on the last Sunday of the month, you select from a list the store and the amount of your order.  Write a check payable to LCPC and turn in your order. Your card for the amount and store you selected will be available for pick-up the following Sunday.  

 

SICK POLICY

 
We all need to work together to keep everyone safe and healthy.
 
Children will be asked to stay home or return home if any of the following applies:
  • Child has a fever or other potential symptoms illness, such as shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, sore throat, muscle pains or gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, nausea or diarrhea), chills with repeated shaking, fatigue, congestion or runny nose within the last 48 hours.
  • Colds, Covid, RSV, and the flu are still out there. If your child exhibits any of the symptoms, please keep them home for 24 hours after fever ends without the use of fever reducing medication. We want to make sure your child feels well enough to participate.
♥♥
 
The Health Department as well as Community Care Licensing will not let us attempt to distinguish whether the symptoms are caused by COVID-19 or another cause, such as allergies or a common cold. Any of the symptoms listed on the “Safer Practices and Sick Child Amendment –COVID-19” form will prevent a child from attending school. If you need another copy of the form, please let me know. 
 
Additionally, our policy is designed to protect the well-being of all the children, as well as the staff. When there are symptoms of illness or other indications that a child is not well enough for group activities, arrangement must be made for their care at home. If your child becomes at school, they will be isolated, and you will be called to pick up your child. Exposure to communicable disease should be promptly reported. By the same token, the school will notify you when your child has been exposed to an infectious disease.

Tuition can be paid weekly or monthly, however, all fees are to be paid in advance.  Weekly payments are due by Wednesday of each week.  Monthly payments are due by the 5th of the month.  If the 5th falls on a holiday or weekend your payment is due the next day your child is in attendance. 

If weekly payments are not received by Friday your child will not be able to attend the following week and your spot will not be saved.  If monthly payments are not received by the second week, your child will not be able to attend until payment is received and your spot will not be held.  Any account not paid in full by 30 days from the date of invoice will be assessed a fee of $45.00 per month.

IMPORTANT:

PARENTS, BY LAW YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN YOUR CHILD(REN) IN AND OUT EVERYDAY THEY ARE IN SCHOOL.   PLEASE USE YOUR LEGAL SIGNATURE. REGARDLESS IF IT IS READABLE OR NOT, AS LONG AS IT IS YOU’RE USUAL WAY OF SIGNING YOUR NAME.  NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 IS PERMITTED TO SIGN YOUR CHILD IN OR OUT.  THE SIGN IN/OUT SHEETS ARE LEGAL DOCUMENTS.  PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD ‘SIGN’ ON THEM.

ILLNESS POLICY:

 If your child has a fever, vomits or has diarrhea at school or home, they may not return to school for 24 hours after the symptoms are gone.It is very important to keep your child home if they are not feeling well.  If you have any doubts it is better to keep your child home one more day than to send then to school when they are not quite up to it.  If your child has conjunctivitis (pink eye) they may not return to school until they have received antibiotic treatment for 24 hours.  Remember good handwashing is very effective in keeping disease from spreading.  Our policy will cut down on the transition of disease to other children, and our staff.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION

If anything has changed with your emergency or contact information, please contact the Preschool Office so we can update and be sure we have your correct information.  When a little one is ill, time is of the essence in trying to reach a parent.  In addition, if working, please leave-detailed instructions if needed to make it easier for us to contact you at work.  Cell phones are not always reliable.  We need a backup way to reach you.
