Policies

In the interest of smooth operation of the center to provide the best possible care and safety, and ensure good citizenship, the following policies are in place:

First day at School :

On the first day the parent will accompany the child to LE. Check out what interests the child. Once the child is taking interest on an activity and gets busy with some activity, the parent can leave. The child may cry as soon as he/she realizes that the parent is not around. We assure that we will call the parent if the child is crying for long.

Sometimes the child enjoys the activities on the 1st day and cries a lot on the second day or following week. Don’t be alarmed. Just talk in a re-assuring manner and make the departure quickly. If the parent says bye & then lingers if the child cries, this teaches the child that crying will keep a parent longer. Parting may be difficult for both child and parent, and the teacher understands.

For Your Child’s Comfort:

• Infants and Young Toddlers should be sent to school in diapers. Parents must also ensure adequate diaper supplies are provided to school at all times. Our teachers keep checking frequently to ensure diapers are clean and dry and change them regularly. Potty training is started when we assess the child to be ready.

• As little children are prone to spills and accidents, we request that parents keep 2 changes of clothes in the school at all times.

• In the interest of keeping the school safe from infections for all children, the parents are requested to not send their child to school if she displays any of following symptoms:

1. Sore throat or cough
2. Runny nose
3. Aches in head or stomach
4. Any skin rashes
5. Upset stomach
6. Fever

School Hours-Pick up and drop:

• Parents are requested to respect the timings of the school. Please drop and pick up the child on time.
• None other than 16 year of age is authorized to pick up a child from LE campus. Anyone other than a child‘s parent must show proper identification to be able to pick up the child with prior intimation to LE by parents.
