All other days CCP will be open. Yes I do take a vacation, No CCP will always be open. CCP is open when school is cancelled but you must make accommodations before 8 a.m. to confirm your child's spot.
Do you allow part time children to attend?
We currently allow a part time minimum of 2 days per week of attendance however, these days are available to fill a 5 day a week schedule. As we are limited to the daily number of children in the program, parents who choose part time schedules MUST be flexible. As our enrollment changes you may be asked to adjust days.
I am pregnant how do I plan?
A- I highly recommend searching for childcare immediately after finding out that you are pregnant. Our waiting list at times is up to 1 year long, but may change unexpectedly throughout the year. I encourage you to visit, and if interested, be put on a waiting list. There is no charge to be placed on the list. However, if at the time CCP does have an opening, you will be required to pay for a "hold", which is one day/ week until the time your child begins care.
Is there anything special I need to do to enroll?
A- After contacting us you will be asked to schedule a brief tour and interview. Handbook, Licensing information, and program information will be given at this time. A few book keeping tasks and forms will need to be completed and a registration fee of 65.00 is due to lock in your spot.
Are there any extra charges for preschool or food?
Preschool requires a 50.00 annual supply fee that covers supplies throughout the school year. Any summer field trips or special projects may have a small fee. Throughout the preschool year an occasional field trip fee may be required to attend.
Food costs are covered in the tuition. We provide a whole foods menu for Breakfast, Lunch, and snack. Infants are required to send bottles, cereal, and jar foods until 1 year of age. Children with food allergies or intolerances are required to provide special food items. Whole grain products are used most of the time. Balanced meals are as follows:
Breakfast: grain, fruit, milk
Lunch: Grain, Protein, Vegetable, Fruit, and Milk
Snack: Either Grain and milk
Protein and grain
