There will be a total of 9 planned days in which the center will be closed. I understand and agree to pay half of my regular tuition rate for all published holidays and or in-service days that fall on one of my child’s regularly scheduled attendance days as outlined above. It is one way we as parents, along with the administration of ADG, can show our appreciation and support to those who put so much into the care and nurturing of our children.

Inclement Weather:

On days when nature chooses to re-direct our schedule; you will be able check for delays or closures by using one of the following methods.

·         Contact the Center – an up-to-date message will be available either by staff or phone message.

·         Check the website – we will keep that as up-to-date as possible. www.dumplinggang.org

·         We publish any delays or closing on the following stations: Channels 8, 15, 21 and 27. We also broadcast on these radio stations: 94.9 FM, 580 AM and 97.3 FM.

Outside Play during Winter Months:

There is not a regulation regarding outdoor play in winter, however the Department of Public Welfare does have the following recommendations which we do follow:

·         Children are to go outside everyday as weather permits.

o       Above 40 degrees, go out as long as you like.

o       Between 32 and 40 degrees, limit outside play to 20 minutes.

o       Below 32 degrees, limit play outside play to 10 minutes.

Proper winter wear is mandatory. Hats, mittens, and heavy winter coats are needed daily.

Tuition and Personal Use Time:

The enrollment and tuition fees paid by the parents are the fees that take care of running our center.  So that we may offer consistent quality programs, timely payment of fees due is necessary.  When you enroll your child in our center, a contract for payment will be signed and payment dates agreed to.  It is your responsibility to maintain that agreement.  Non payment of accounts will lead to interruption or termination of services.

1.      Registration Fee:  ADG charges a one-time non-refundable Registration Fee of $65.00 for the first child and $50.00 for each additional child within the same family payable upon commitment to our program. Please understand that enrollment is based upon a first come first served basis with no exceptions. Your registration fee holds your spot for a 90 day period. If at the conclusion of that 90 day period you still anticipate needing care but are not ready to enroll your child (such as in the case of an infant) you may be subject to an additional registration fee. ADG also charges an annual Program Fee of $40.00 to all students to help off set the soaring costs of art materials. This program fee is included in your registration fee for the first year.

2.      We bill weekly and tuition is due the 1st day your child attends each week served (unless other arrangements have been made as per your contract). Payments not received will be charged an automatic $25 late per week.

3.      Minimum Enrollment: 2 days per week (such as Tuesday and Thursday). We also have available 3, 4, and 5 day programs.

4.      We provide full and part-time care: Full-time is defined as anything between the hours of 6:30 AM and 6 PM. Preschool families only have the option of part-time programs please check our current rate sheet for classifications. Please contact the Center’s office for program availability.

5.      Multi Child Discount: A 5% discount will be allowed to the oldest child enrolled in the center.

6.      Personal Use Time: Each child is allotted the equivalent 2 weeks of personal use time (depending upon program) over a 12 consecutive month period of time. To be eligible to use one of these weeks of time you must have been in attendance for at least 6 months. These weeks or parts thereof can be used for illness, vacation, etc. Personal Use Time cannot be accumulated from year to year and cannot be used as a form of tuition payment.

7.      Prolonged Leaves of Absence: Any leave from the center, after exhausting any and all earned personal days, will incur the same weekly charge as per your Parent Contract. The maximum leave of absence allowed in any 12 month period will be 4 weeks. Upon where the Director at his discretion may remove your child from the enrollment and fill that vacancy.

8.      Re-enrollment: an option has been made available for those wishing to withdraw their child from the center and then re-enroll them at a later time (i.e. over the summer). This can be accomplished by meeting the following criteria: (1) your account must be current, no outstanding balance; (2) your child's file must be up-to-date, health assessment, emergency form, etc. and (3) you must pay the registration fee again (no coupon valid for this option). And assuming we will have an opening and everything is in order the director will approve your re-enrollment.

9.      Parent Contract Changes: Will be limited to once per calendar year and subject to space availability. We will, however, do everything within our ability to accommodate your needs.

10.  All Checks Returned: For non-sufficient funds will be re-deposited and charged a $35.00 per transaction will be charged against your account.

11.  Assistance with Tuition Payments: May be available through Title XX that is administered through Childcare Information Services of Cumberland County or your local Public Assistance Office.  You may call the agency at 1-800-358-8725 to inquire about eligibility criteria.

12.  Please note: That we accept VISA, MasterCard, and Discover cards for your convenience. You may also choose to pay with your Debit or ATM card if you wish.

We at ADG provide an excellent program and care for the children we serve.  To continue providing this level of quality service, it is our expectation that parents be responsible by maintaining their financial commitment.  ADG operates on a zero tolerance policy when it comes to the financial obligations of its families. Failure to meet your commitments will result in whatever action ADG deems necessary to collect outstanding balances.

Policy Regarding Automatic Withdrawal/“Tuition Express”:

Although each family will be required to fill out an application for Tuition Express, active participation will be by the customer’s request.  If you are interested in taking advantage of this convenient option, simply let the director know and your application will be activated immediately. 

Please note, however, that any customer who neglects to fulfill their enrollment agreement with our center in regards to regular, on time payments or withdrawal notification, will be automatically enrolled in Tuition Express.  Automatic enrollment takes place when the following issues occur:

1.      Late payment of tuition:  Excluding special circumstances pre-discussed with the director, all payments are due no later than the end of business on the first of each week your child attends or as per contract.  Failure to pay your weekly tuition fee on time may result in automatic enrollment.

2.      NSF:  Any returned check will result in a $35.00 NSF fee and automatic enrollment.

3.      Withdrawal without notification:  We require two weeks written notification if you are withdrawing your child from our program.  Failure to notify us will result in these week’s of tuition automatically being deducted from your account.

We provide an excellent facility and care to the children we serve.  To continue providing this level of quality service, it is our expectation that parents be responsible for maintaining this service.  If you have questions in regards to this matter, please contact the director.

Enrollment:

Following a pre-enrollment tour and interview, a packet for enrollment must be completed prior to your child beginning at Apple Dumpling Gang.  The forms in the packet are required by Pennsylvania State law and are maintained according to regulation.  It is extremely important that our center be kept updated of any changes in the information provided.

• Parents are required to review and update the Parent Contract and the Parental Consent /Emergency Information Form at a minimum of every six (6) months or at any time there is a change in any of the information.

• Parents are also responsible to provide a sheet and blanket for rest times and any special sleep aid (pillow, toy, etc.) necessary for your child’s comfort.

A change of seasonal clothing is to be kept at the center at all times in case of an emergency. Please label all of these items with your child’s first and last name. Parents are responsible for the weekly laundering of sheets and blankets.

Parents are welcome at the Center any time of the day, but we ask your cooperation in not disturbing the center’s programs.

At the time of enrollment, a schedule is agreed upon between the family and the Director.  We are staffed according to these agreements; therefore it is of utmost importance that the schedule is maintained.  Changes in schedule must be authorized by the center director and are based on availability.

• Movement to Next Classroom: A child’s placement is based upon the following factors:

  • Age of Child

  • Development Assessment

  • Space Availability

  • Parental & Staff Input

  • Director’s Discretion

Student Record’s Request:

It is the policy of ADG that upon written consent a parent or guardian may ask for copies of their child’s Health Assessment and or other pertinent records. A small fee maybe charged at the discretion of the Director to cover any expenses incurred while completing this request. A consent form may be obtained in the center’s office. 

Meals and Snacks:

We are committed to serving nutritious meals and snacks.  Lunches are prepared daily through our “heat and serve” kitchen on-site and include the recommended daily items from each of the following food groups: proteins, fruits and vegetables, and grains. We will also provide morning and afternoon snacks.

Infant formula, foods, diapers and diaper wipes are the responsibility of the parent. Should the need arise where the center has to provide such things the parent will be charged for the items.

If your child will be arriving: after 9:15 but prior to lunch being served (11:30 downstairs and 12:00 upstairs) you must call and leave a message with the Center’s office or your child’s teacher in order for there to be enough food for lunch. We make our meals based upon the daily attendance count for each day.

Lunch menus will be posted on a regular basis. Any special dietary needs MUST be provided by parents. Under some circumstances, parents will be required to provide their child’s lunch.

The parents may provide birthday and other special occasion treats with pre-arrangement with your child's teacher.

Communication:

This is a vital part of a successful family-center relationship.  Communication takes place many ways: Each child has a 'cubby' or 'mailbox' where pertinent information is placed.  The entrance of the center is where general information is posted and we ask that parents make a habit of referring to that board often.  Both the director and your child's teacher will send newsletters and calendars with activities and information for the days ahead.  Finally, availability is key.  We are always willing to be available to talk with you concerning your child and any part of our program.  Be sure to communicate to us your specific needs and desires.  It is our goal to meet and exceed your expectations and by taking the time to work together we are able to make the transition from home to center a smooth one.

• Parents are responsible for transportation to and from the child care facility.

• Field trips for students will be conducted at various times during the year. Permission to participate will be obtained from the Parent Consent and Emergency Information Form (this consent is not a blanket consent) and from the Field Trip Sign-Up Sheet for each trip. In some instances, a nominal fee may be charged for certain field trips.

Parent-Teacher Conferences:

ADG offers to every parent in every classroom 2 specific conferences each year.  One during the fall, which is more informal setting the grounds and expectations for what will be introduced during the school year. The second one, which is typically held in late Spring will be more formal in nature, providing each parent with a written report detailing the progress of their child.  These conferences will be based upon observations and portfolios representing the child's work and development.

Nursing Mothers:

We at Apple Dumpling Gang applaud you!  You are juggling so much-with being a wife, employee, and a new mom-yet you have continued to provide your little one with the nourishment proven best for his/her development.  We understand how difficult this can be at times for both you and your baby.  ADG has provided two comfortable rockers in the infant room that are available for those times when you come in and find your little one needs some nursing time.  There will be a light blanket provided for a privacy drape also.  We only ask that you stay in the infant room and use the drape so that our other parents coming in are comfortable and our children don’t get too curious- there is nothing like a small, noisy crowd to distract your baby.  Thank you for helping to make our center a place of fun and relaxation for all.

Health and Illness:

Parents are required to carry medical and accident insurance on the enrolled child.

A Health Assessment Form is a part of the enrollment packet and must be completed at the following ages:

   2 months

   4 months

   6 months

   9 months

   12 months

   15 months

   18 months

   24 months

   And each year thereafter.

Periodic health examinations and immunizations are required by the PA Department of Public Welfare and are the responsibility of the parent/guardian. Failure to obtain health examinations and immunizations as per the Department of Public Welfare’s guidelines will cause disruption in your child care services.

These must be completed in a timely manner or services in our center will be suspended.  Infants are required to have a completed child Health Appraisal PRIOR to being admitted to our center for care.

We are concerned about your child's health and the well being of each child entrusted to our care.  We are especially careful to limit the spread of infectious diseases.  If your child shows any of the signs listed here while they are in our care, a parent will be notified to pick up the child within a 90 minute time frame from the point of contact either with the parent or someone on the child’s emergency contact form.

Failure to arrive within the allotted time will then require ADG to isolate your child and start providing one-on-one care at a rate of $40.00 an hour or any part thereof. ADG is not staffed to provide one-on-one care so please understand that if your child is unable within the normal activities of the classroom then they are to sick to attend our center.

Should your child show any of these signs while at home or while in our care, we require that he not return to the center until 24 hours symptom free.  When antibiotic therapy is required, your child must have received the medication 24 hours prior to return.

·         Child Illness: Parents are required to pay for all days scheduled per their Parent Contract. Please refer to the Personal Use Time section also for further information.

Medication:

Should your child have need for medication administered while in our care, the following guidelines must be adhered to: 

·         Medication must be in the original childproof container with the original pharmacy label.  This will supply us with the administration instructions and physician/pharmacy information.

·         Parents are to give all medication directly to staff personnel and complete the required Medication Log each day the medication is to be administered.

A prescribed medication shall be dispensed from the original container only.  The directions on the label serve as the physicians instructions.  Over the counter/non-prescribed medications (Tylenol, Benadryl, etc.) anything that is consumed within the body shall be given only with a physician’s signature accompanying instructions on their prescription pad or office letterhead. If this is not readily available, you may ask your physician’s office to fax it to us for administration that day (717) 795-1050. 

Other over the counter medications or creams such as sun screen or diaper cream (things that go outside or on the body) can be given with parent permission.

Arrival and Departure:

All children must be escorted into the center and after signing in for the day, be placed in the direct care of a center staff member.  It is important to arrive with a few minutes available to see that your child is settled comfortably.

Children are only released to adults who are parent-authorized to remove the child from the center.  Only after the center staff has released your child into your care, may you sign your child out for the day and depart.  Should the need arise for someone other than the parent to come for your child, we must have this in writing (or on the list pre-authorized) and we will ask for identification.  Your child's safety is our utmost concern.

·         Early Drop-Off or Late Pick-up Fee: A charge of $60.00 per half hour or any part thereof will be charged for any drop-offs before 6:30 AM or pick-ups after 6:00 PM.

·         Any part-time child that exceeds the post program hours will automatically be charged the full day rate based upon their program.

Please note that the Centers clock will be used as the official clock in all disputes concerning this policy.

·         Late Drop-Off and Meals   If your child will be arriving after 9:15 but prior to lunch being served (11:30 downstairs and 12:00 upstairs) call and leave a message for the center’s cook or your child’s teacher.  Your tuition pays for lunch, but it is important to have an accurate number for food preparation so there s enough for the children and staff while making certain that there isn’t waste to contend with.

Child Abuse and Neglect Policy

Each day in the United States more than 3 children die as a result of some form of abuse according to the statistics from 2003.

·         85% of those are under the age of five

·         41% are under one year of age

More children (age 4 and younger) die from child abuse and neglect than any other single, leading cause of injury death for infants and young children.^[3]

What is Child Abuse? – Any recent act or failure to act by a perpetrator which causes non-accidental serious physical injury to a child.

What Constitutes Abuse? – It must involve a child, a perpetrator and an act of abuse. The following are considered forms of abuse or neglect:

• Mental Injury

• Sexual Abuse

• Exploitation

• Serious Physical Abuse or Neglect (which includes the following: the act or failure to act, non-accidental severe pain that significantly impairs functioning)

Indicators that must be present are changes both in physical and behavioral manners of a child. Remember to take into consideration the age, background, and cultural environment of every situation (such as in some cultures it is common for women or young girls to be subservient to men or male role models).

What can you do about it? – First and foremost Apple Dumpling Gang is a MANDATED REPORTER.

• The State of Pennsylvania requires that we report our suspicions to “Childline.”

Keep in mind that as a Mandated Reporter we are not reporting actual abuse or neglect but only that we SUSPECT that a child has been abused or neglected and it is our SUSPICION that we are reporting. It is then up to the state to determine if any abuse or neglect has actually taken place.

What to do if you suspect someone is under influence of a controlled substance such as alcohol or other?

Remember you cannot deny a parent or legal guardian the right to pick-up or remove their own child, no matter the situation. We are not a law enforcement agency.

However, we can…

·         Speak reasonably to the adult in question, explaining our concerns and try to detain the individual from leaving the center while trying to arrange for someone else to come and transport them home. It is not the position of ADG to pass judgment or to create any undo difficulty for any individual or family. Our position is simply one of safety for all involved.

However, we do take the attitude that our families have put their most precious possession in our care, their child and this we do take very seriously. We will do whatever is necessary to keep that commitment even if it means straining our relationship with a family.

·         If we are unsuccessful in making contact with another adult from the child’s emergency sheet then ADG will contact a local taxi company and pay for the transportation of the family home.

·         If the adult in question refuses our assistance than it is the policy of ADG to take the license plate number down along with a description of the vehicle and contact the Silver Spring Township Police and inform them of our concerns. This is our last resort.

Once again, it is not our position to hurt or destroy families but our job is to make sure that the children in our care are protected and safe.

Referrals Outside Services

ADG, although does not employ anyone with a Special Ed degree.  Its staff does consider itself observant enough to recognize the potential for a problem in a child's development.  ADG makes no diagnosis as to whether a child may have a learning disability, but may encourage the parent to contact an outside source such as Early Intervention or the Capital Area Intermediate Unit. Parents need to understand that ADG cannot make a request for evaluation on its own, but that request must be initiated by the parent itself.

It is the position of ADG to work with and assist in all areas possible when dealing with a child with special needs.  However it is important to understand that Apple Dumpling Gang is not, nor does it represent itself as being a specialized school for children with special needs.  The scope of our ability to help is limited to the fact that it does not take away from the care of the other students within the teacher's scope of training.

Once an IEP (Individual Educational Program) has been developed for a student it is the policy of ADG to have a copy of this report.  Please understand that any information derived from this report will be kept in extreme confidentiality and would be used only to fulfill the purposes of the IEP as written.

Finally, it is understood that scope of these referrals would not be limited to just educational observations, but may also include emotional, physical, and spiritual.  It is the hope that Apple Dumpling Gang will minister to the child as a whole.

Discipline and Termination from the Program:

Our staff is dedicated to the philosophy that "children can be responsible for actions and decisions of their choosing if the environment is conducive to a loving and gentle approach of self-governing." In other words, we help children to make good choices and learn self-control by building a framework allowing them to work through problems constructively. We model and encourage appropriate behavior, use re-direction and discuss issues. Time-out is used as a last resort.

Should a child’s behavior put his or another’s health or safety at risk, or change the social structure of a classroom (i.e. extreme and repeated use of potty words, open defiance, etc.); a director-teacher-family conference will be called to discuss alternative methods to remedy the behavior.  Apple Dumpling Gang reserves the right to terminate any child from the center who cannot be adequately served due to behavioral issues.  All meetings and agreements shall be documented in writing and every avenue will be pursued prior to termination of services. 

Please note: the policy of this center is to meet the needs of each individual child to the best of our ability; individual needs are considered but the class as a whole must be the primary consideration.  Should your child require care beyond what we are able to give, an appropriate notice will be given the family to find alternate care.  It is not our intention to use this policy except in absolute necessity.  We will always seek for the best care for your child even when it is not with us.  This policy is at the complete discretion of the administration.

Children’s Acts of Aggression:

Effective immediately the following policy is now in place at this center dealing with acts of aggression and fighting (such as biting, hitting and spitting) by children. The policy is as follows:

1. Separation of the children involved.

2. Immediate attention to the child or caregiver who was bitten, hit, spit on, etc.

3. If the incident requires an Incident Report, a copy will be given to parents. This is classified as the aggressor’s strike one.

4. A review of the adequacy of the supervision and appropriateness of facility activities will also be made in an attempt to stop any further occurrences from happening.

5. The situation must be reviewed with the Director to eliminate any further recurrences.

6. If the behavior continues and the child acts aggressively again, they will be sent home for the day. This is classified as the aggressor’s strike two.

7. Once again a review of the adequacy of the supervision and appropriateness of facility activities will be made in an attempt to stop any further occurrences from happening.

8. The Director will require a face to face meeting with the aggressor’s parents before they will be allowed to return to the center.

9. Finally, if the behavior continues, then upon the next incident the child will be dismissed for cause. This is referred as the aggressor’s strike three.

10. However, if you go six month without an incident the strike count will revert back to zero.

RATIONALE: Aggressive acts, both premeditated and reactive, occur in out-of-home care settings. Administrative guidelines are necessary for the management of recurrent acts of aggression and resources and structure of the facility.

·         Biting and hitting are manifestations of different emotional feelings at different ages. Biting, while not uncommon is still unacceptable in this center.

·         Spitting (projecting saliva, a body fluid that can carry illness) on another child is unacceptable at this center.

Center Photographs:

ADG must request that all parents refrain from taking any personal photos while on center property. However, you can request that a staff member take pictures during such activities as birthday parties and special events using the center’s camera. The purpose behind this policy stems from the position that we have already obtained proper permission to photograph such students. This also protects the rights of parents who have requested that their child not be photographed.
