For Our
Little Spark's & Their Parents
Our goal is to give your Little Spark a head start in education, allowing them the opportunity to shine as bright as they can!
Safety First!
You are the best judge on health and well-being of your Little Spark, so we're confident you will never send your child to school when they are ill. If your child begins to show signs of illness, a rash, or a contagious infection, your child's teacher will consult with the Director. You will be notified if any illness / symptoms are detected and expected to come pick your child up immediately (or those listed on the child's emergency contact sheet.)
​
All precautions taken are to protect the well-being of your Little Spark, and their classmates. Below you will find more details on what can be considered a reason for your a child needing to go/stay home.
Drop-Off / Pick-Up At Spark's.
Parents are expected to accompany their children into our Academy. Our instructors are glad to assist you and your child at your drop-off time, however, instructors will not assume direct responsibility for your child until you are ready to walk out of the building. It is important for our instructors to keep a watchful eye on all the children in their care. Please bring your child into the center and help them place their items in their designated cubby.
If your Little Spark has a car seat, please place their car seat in the designated area of the room. You are more than welcome to stay for a short time and assist your child through this transition. Only those listed on your Little Spark's emergency contact sheet will be able to pick the child up. If any changes to this emergency contact sheet are needed, please inform our staff in advance.
Meals, Snacks and Food Allergies.
Spark's Little Learners Academy provides breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack for you Little Spark! If there are any food restrictions, or allergies, please inform the director immediately to discuss alternate options.
​
Infants taking formula, breast milk, or baby food - Must have items brought in daily.

Holidays & Absence
