Drop-off and pick-up polices:
From the moment your child arrives until he or she is picked up at the end of the day,
your child's safety is our foremost concern. No child shall ever be left unsupervised.
Our center is equipped with an intercom/telephone in each classroom for emergency
use. Procedures for arrivals and departures are designed to ensure the safety and well-
being of everyone at the center.
■ Parents are to use only the front door for entering and exiting.
■ Each authorized individual receives a key fob that he/she must use to obtain
entry into the building.
■ Children must be walked into the building by a parent or authorized guardian and
placed with their assigned center staff member.
■ Parents must complete the electronic sign -in and sign -out process as well as the
manual sign -in sheet on a daily basis and any applicable forms requested by the
center (e.g., medication, Communication Form).
■ When parents pick up a child they are required to sign out.
Safety and Security
The Learning Experience has instituted security systems as an effective means of
protecting our children. This may include:
■ Gates and fences surrounding the property with alarms on gates.
■ Special locks at entrance with limited access.

■ Cameras throughout the center for the purpose of monitoring a secure environment
and for observation by both administration and parents.
■ Windows on the doors allow parents the opportunity to view the child's activities
without disturbing the integrity of the classroom environment.
Release of Children
Security fobs are issued to each authorized person who will be routinely dropping off and
picking up your child. It is imperative for security purposes that the center is aware of
each person coming or going.
On any occasion when a person without a security fob or pass must pick up a child, the
person's name must be in child's file. He or she will be asked for a photo identification,
which will be photocopied and placed in your child's file for future reference. A child will
not be permitted to leave with any person other than those designated in writing by the
parent.
Playground
Children of all ages are encouraged to participate daily in at least two occasions of age
appropriate outdoor time, weather permitting for a minimum of 30 minutes per increment.
The children are always supervised during outdoor play.
