Yes, your child can bring his/her favorite blanket to school, however their favorite toy should be left at home to prevent damage or loss of the item. We offer “show and tell” events where children can share items with their classmates.
Yes! All children have their own cubby for their items located in each of the classrooms.
To ensure the children stay healthy, we require that children do not attend school until they are fever-free for 24-hours – this helps keep your child and their classmates healthy.
#1 priority is the safety of children in our care including monthly fire, earthquake and playground emergency drills.
When severe weather can become a safety concern for the children and staff, Adventure Daycare will mostly base their decision made by School District 71 on whether to remain open or closed. Do check the radio stations or SD71 website. The Program Manager will send out an email notifying all the parents what decision we have made.
Yes! We are committed to making quality child care accessible to everyone.
