Handbook

Arrival and Departures

 When picking up and dropping off your child, parents may park in any of the marked spaces on the church property. There is never a time when it is okay to park under the porte-cochere. This is strictly a safety policy and protects children entering and leaving the building. Also, do not park alongside the building, it can be difficult for others who parked in the spaces to back out if you are blocking their exit.

1. Please bring in all valuables during drop off or pick up time. First Baptist Church cannot be responsible for any items stolen or damaged.
2. Upon arrival, all children must be accompanied to their room by an adult. The adult must sign the child in on the form provided by their teacher. This is a DHS Regulation.
3. First Baptist cannot be responsible for a child who has not been properly released to their teacher.
4. Upon the child’s departure, the adult must come to the child’s room and sign the child out on the provided form.
5. Should the parent need someone who is not listed on the child’s enrollment form to pick up the child, the parent must:
  a) Call the director, giving the name of the person and time the child will be picked up.
  b) Give the person picking up your child your“family password” to use when picking up your child.
  c) Instruct the person to check in with office upon arrival. They must present a picture I.D. and give the family password.
 d) The teacher will greet them at the door where they will be instructed to sign the child out and receive any information to
be sent home for the day.
6. Remember; please make every effort to send your child ON TIME. Many curriculum related activities take place before lunch. Late arrivals cause a distraction and can be disconcerting to classmates. Tardy children may have trouble
getting into the daily routine. Toddlers, twos and preschoolers not here before 10:30 a.m. should not attend until their rooms naptime is over. It is unfair to disrupt their classmate’s
naptimes.
