Hello!
So I have run a program for over 10 years, but a majority of that time (at least 8 of them) have been as a preschool.
This year I will actually be doing infant/toddler only for a year or two, and am having to reword my handbook/contract.
Previously, I did not "allow" pick up during nap. They were able to pick up after class (between 12:30 and 12:45) or after nap (any time between 3:30 and close)
However, with infants and toddlers, I will most likely have kids taking one nap, two naps, or possibly more.
I really dislike pickups during nap time, but with a variety of nap times now, I'm not sure how to word this. Our current handbook just says "Please do not pick up between 1 and 3:30pm" Or something along those lines.
I will also be enforcing contracted hours this go around, but haven't done them before. If a parent is "contracted" to pick up at 4:15 for example, and they come at 4:30, that would cause them late fees... but what if they wanted to pick up at 2:30? Some kids might be napping, but I wouldn't charge an "early pickup" fee
So how would you word this? I was thinking something like "Due to varied nap times, please stick with your contracted pick up times. Earlier pickups must be Ok'd ahead of time"
