Frequently asked questions.

Are you Licensed?

Yes, we have a WA state childcare license.

Sick Child Policy

If your child has one symptom, such as a congestion they can still attend.

If your child has 2+ symptoms, example: congestions, cough, and fatigue they need to stay home. When they have multiple symptoms and they are too lethargic to participate in activities they need to stay home and rest.

If you child has a fever, or vomiting (projectile vomit, not just spit up), or diarrhea (2 or more times in 24 hours), then they must be kept home, or if it starts happens at daycare you will be called to come pick up your child. Your child will not be allowed to return until they have gone 24 hours without any of those 3 symptoms.

** If your child is new to daycare, expect them to get sick about once a month for the next several months, starting daycare exposes them to so many more germs. **

Do you accept DSHS?

Unfortunately we do not take subsidy.

Late pickup fee/Policy

We have a 5 minute grace period.

After 12:15pm if Part Time AM, or after 5:05 PM for Full Time or Part Time PM, then there is $3 for every 5 minutes you are late.

If you become 20 minutes late, the fee ups to $5 for every 5 minutes.

If you become 45 minutes late, fee ups to $10 for every additional 5 minutes.

If you cannot pickup your child and no one else can pick them up either (for example dangerous weather like too much snow to drive) and the child has to sleep over, it’s $500 for the night. Please do not ignore weather warnings…

Habitual lateness is grounds for termination.

Do you have pets?

I do have pets two cats, but the daycare house is in a separate house on the property, and we have split the yard with a fence to keep the daycare yard separate from our private yard. The children will not have any contact with our pets. Pets do not go into the daycare house. We do have chickens and they share a fence with the backyard kids play in.

Is there a strict drop off and pickup time?

No. We know how little children, work schedules, and ever changing toddler sleep schedules can be. BUT, you can avoid picking up or dropping off during lunch or nap time that would be greatly appreciated. Some children get very disrupted from their eating or sleeping if adults come in.

Lunch is 11:00-11:45.

Nap time is 12:15-3:00.

We close at 5:30, please be punctual. Best to arrive no later than 5:25, as it always takes a few minutes getting your little one and their things.
