Frequently Asked Questions

You are always welcome to visit or call during the day, and when you pick up your child, you can request a written daily report from the teacher. Your child's teacher will note how long they napped, what portion of their lunch they ate and how well they are doing with their potty training. Their teacher will also describe all of the fun activities that your child and their friends participated in, and there will always be a little note from teacher to parent regarding a special moment of their day. 

Anytime is fine, but please check with their teacher to see when they nap, as we don't want to disturb children during nap time. 

Ms Jean's Child Care Owner is often someone like you. She has decided to pursue the opportunity of owning a small business and contributing to their community. Ms Jean's Owners are hands-on: they are available to the faculty as well as the children and their families every day. Ms. Jean's also has the benefit of an Education Director who is responsible for the curriculum and programming. This dual management system gives the Director the freedom to observe classrooms, mentor faculty and develop a healthy learning environment for your child.

We have an electrical sign-in / sign-out log and password procedures. With a parent or guardian's permission only, a child may be released to an alternate caregiver who presents two forms of identification (one must be a picture ID). They also need to be listed on the Authorization for Pickup Form, which is kept in each child's file. If the person picking up is not listed on this form the parent/guardian must call and identify the person picking up. The child is also asked if they know and recognized this person picking them up. If the child doesn't feel comfortable going with them the parent will be notified immediately.
