RULES AND REGULATIONS
Guidelines for supervision while dropping off and picking up your child
For the safety and peaceful working environment of everyone at the kindergarten we ask you to take the following steps when bringing your child to and from the school or park:
Upon arrival to the kindergarten or park:
● Please keep your time at the kindergarten to a minimum to ensure a smooth transition for you, your child, the rest of the group and the teaching team.
● Make sure a staff member has noticed your arrival. We try to greet all of the children at the dressing area when they come in, but in case we are busy helping the other children, we might not notice.
Pick up –time:
● Please be ready to give full attention to your child. He/she has been waiting all day to see you
● Monitor younger AND older siblings so as not to disturb the kindergarten activities.
● Make the transition home promptly.
● Make sure your child doesn’t interact with the children still present once you have left the park. We understand parents wanting to socialise but keep a large enough distance from the park or the group, as not to disturb the staff and children in doing their work.
Please take into consideration that this is a residential building and try to keep your child quiet in the hallway. Closely supervise your child around the doors of the building and never let any children out without their parents. Remember that it is a busy road outside the kindergarten and that proper traffic safety should be practiced. Staff can only monitor and be responsible for children within the school premises.
The latest pick-up time for the morning group is 14.00, from the park. The latest pick-up time for the afternoon and full time group is 17.00 when the school closes.
If you would like to discuss any pressing issues, please arrange a meeting with a member of staff via text message or on Whatsapp ☺
Lunch time
Lunchtime is from 11-11.30. If your child is going to have lunch please arrive before 11.15, this way your child has enough time to eat and the rest of the group does not have to wait too long before leaving for the park.
Late pick up
In case you will be arriving late to pick up your child, please notify the teaching team as soon as possible.
Parents will be charged a late pick-up fee of 20 euros for arriving after 14.00/17.00. Additionally, any pick-up after 14.30/17.30 will result in a total fee of 40 euros. As with all fees, this fee is per child.
Alternative pick-up plans
If your child is going to be picked up by somebody else please ensure that the teaching team knows before the transition, and understand that we cannot allow a child to leave without notification.
Notifying for absence
We kindly ask you to always notify the teaching team if your child will not be attending school at any time. Please let the the staff know about any planned absences, like a holiday, as soon as you know about it. Unplanned or sudden absences, for example the child’s illness or just a day off, needs to be notified via text message or WhatsApp. If you are not sure how many days your child will be absent, please make sure to give notice on daily basis. This will help the teaching team with planning the day’s activities and prevent food waste.
Failure to notify is subject to daily 20 EUR un-notified absence fee per child.
In case of illness
Infections can easily spread between children and kids may become sicker if overexerted, it's generally a good idea to exercise caution when deciding whether to keep your child home. Children's temperatures are normally lowest when they first wake up. If your child has an elevated temperature first thing in the morning, it may rise throughout the day. If you're not sure, encourage your child to rest and then take her temperature again an hour later to see if it has gone up or down.
Check your child's other symptoms to determine whether or not to keep her home from school. A child with a stuffy nose or a cough, or who is vomiting, may have an illness that will get worse with strenuous exertion. It might be best to stay home if they exhibit these symptoms or if their lymph nodes are swollen.
In general, even a low-grade fever indicates a contagious infection. Illnesses are the most contagious in the first two or three days. If your child has just gotten sick, we advise you to keep him/her home. After illness, there should be one fever-less day before coming back to the kindergarten.
Marking your belongings
Please clearly mark your child’s name on all of his/her things (all clothes, shoes, toys etc.) There are hundreds of pieces of clothing being handled every day, and the kids are not always very good at recognising which ones are theirs.
We advise not to bring to school anything too expensive or sentimental, as we do not take responsibility for lost or damaged belongings.
