Schedule Change⁄Absences

Important: Absence Policy

Due to the need of the center to schedule the proper number of staff, as well as the uncertainty of filling short-term vacancies in child care classes, it is necessary for you to pay for all hours scheduled whether or not your child is in attendance. If you are more than one hour late without calling ahead, we will assume that you are not coming. If you or your child is ill or you are absent for other reasons, you will be charged.

Schedule Changes/Additions

Parents are welcome to use the center’s services during study time and other times associated with class work as long as the time does not exceed 20 hours per week. Schedule Change cards are available in the center entryway, which may be completed for additional hours or change in schedule. Notification of a reduction of scheduled hours must be completed by noon on Friday, or you will be charged for the hours.

If less than 24 hours notice, the approval of the director or assistant director is needed to leave your child at the center longer than originally scheduled.

Finals Week Attendance

All Child Care Center enrollees’ scheduled hours will automatically be cancelled during the week of finals (fall and spring semesters, only). Parents will need to fill out a new schedule for the child care hours needed during finals. If a schedule is not turned in for the child, the child will not be scheduled for finals week.
