Do you appreciate the work TLC is doing? Would someone you know benefit form our care?

We would like to offer all of our current families $25.00 off your next tuition payment, every time you refer someone to register their children here at TLC. For more information ask in the office!

Q: When can my child start attending?
A: We require that all children be 2 ½ years old. Beginning in September of 2009 we will take non-potty rained children.

Q: What is the Little Dolphin Program?
A: We work in conjunction with Herma Simmons Elementary School who offers a free Pre-School Program called Little Dolphins. We ask that you sign up for the afternoon session of Little Dolphins, and then you may attend our morning Pre- School session. The students are bused from here to Simmons Elementary School, and then picked up by our bus for our afternoon day care session. Since the children are not at our center for nap time, there is a lower cost for this program.

Q: Are all Pre-School children required to nap?
A: During our 1:00pm to 3:00pm naptime your child is encouraged to sleep and required to stay on his/her mat. We turn off the lights and close the blinds, play soft music and rub children's backs to help them fall asleep. Often a soft toy or a blanket is helpful in keeping a child happy and comfortable at rest time.

Q: What snacks and meals are provided?
A: We offer breakfast (served until 8:30am) a morning snack and an afternoon snack. We ask parents to provide lunch.

Q: Can I come in and volunteer?
A: As partners in your child's well being, you are welcome in the classroom at any time. Check with your child's teacher for the best time and way to help out.

Q: What happens in case of snow?
A: Our School Closing number is 809- if the Clayton School District closes for snow, we are closed. If the Clayton School District has a Two Hour Delay, or an Early Dismissal we are OPEN.

Q: If my child is sick what should I do?
A: We ask that if your child has a fever of 101.5, diarrhea, vomiting, or other contagious illnesses that they be kept at home. Please call the office and let us know that you will be keeping your child home.
