Attendance Policy

Each day is a unique learning experience at Levels of Love Academy.  Attendance is required unless unavoidable by illness. The full weekly tuition will be due regardless of the number of days attended. If your child will not be attending school that day, you must call the center no later than 8:00am to advise that the child will be out.  No child will be permitted into the school after 8:30am without a doctor’s note from that morning. No other late arrivals will be permitted for any reason. Excessive absences may result in poor acclimation to our school setting and your child’s overall developmental achievements. Excessive absences, or 3 late pickups or drop offs is cause for immediate dismissal.

It is extremely important to us that our families value punctual arrival and pick-up times. Late arrivals impact the classroom’s setting as well as disrupt the child’s daily routine. We urge parents to cooperate with us to ensure that their child (ren) arrive no later than 8:30am to receive our full educational programming.

Levels of Love Academy’s Right to Refuse Admission:

LOL reserves the right to refuse admission to any child at any time with or without cause.

Possible reasons for the refusal of admission include but are not limited to:

·       The need to maintain compliance with Licensing Regulations.

·       Staff deems the child too ill to attend.

·       Domestics Situations that present a safety risk to the child, staff or other children enrolled at LOL if the child were to be present at the center.

·       Parents’ failure to maintain accurate, up to date records.

·       Parents’ failure to complete and return required documentation in a timely fashion.

·       Parents’ failure to pay.

·       Child displays frequent behavioral issues that are beyond the control of LOL Academy

Parents WILL NOT be reimbursed tuition for days when their child is refused admission to the program.

Arrival Procedures: Levels of Love Academy aims to increase the academic success of each student. In order for this to take place, parents must ensure that students arrive in a timely manner. Children arriving after 8:30am will not be permitted without proper documentation of reason. Once children arrive, parents must ensure that each child is signed in on the daily sign in log.

Pick-Up Procedures: Parents or other authorized adults are required to sign their child out of care. Once the child is escorted from a classroom by staff, the parent is then solely responsible for supervising their child while on the premises. DCF requires that children remain under the supervision of an adult at all times. The parent may not allow a child to wander through the hallways, bathrooms, other classrooms and/or playground. Parents are required to handle all business issues prior to signing out their child and are required to directly exit the building once they have signed their child out of care.

Staff Signing out Children: LOL does not permit its staff, under any circumstances, to sign-out non-relatives or to use their personal vehicles to transport children to or from the facility, regardless of whether the transportation occurs during or outside of LOL’s hours of operation. Therefore, parents may not designate an LOL employee as someone authorized to take their child from the center at the end of the day unless that staff member is a relative of the child.

Late Pick-Up: Any child who has not been picked up by 6:00 PM will be considered late pick-up. All measurements of time are to be according to the LOL’s office clock located on the sign in kiosk. A fee of $10.00 per minute will be charged starting at 6:01pm.

A child’s service may be terminated should the child be picked-up late (15 minutes or more) on three occasions in one school year regardless of the reasons for the late pick-up. It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that someone (either a parent or Emergency/Alternate pick-up person) is available to pick up the child on time.
