Here are some basic guidelines that we follow at the Creative Academy. We have set-up these rules to ensure that our day flows as smoothly as possible.
1) Breakfast is served at 8:30 am and is over by 9:00 am. If you wish for your child to eat, then he/she needs to be in the classroom by 8:15 am.
2) Daily attendance and lunch counts are taken at 9:00 am. If you are going to arrive later than 9:00 am, you must call by 9:00 am and let us know in order for your child to be counted for lunch or you will need to provide a lunch for them. We wish for all children to be in the classroom by 10:00 am. We enjoy a very structured, planned schedule and in order for your child to receive the benefits of group play, circle time, art and all other themed activities, he/she needs to be at school by 10:00 am.
​
Thank you for your corporation in these matters. We wish to keep all of our little ones healthy and happy here at the Creative Academy.
