Family policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

We ask that your child stay home with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea or a rash we don't recognize, and come back after a full day without symptoms. If your child gets sick here, Miss Nguyet calls you right away so someone can pick them up, so please keep a second contact who can come when a shift keeps you.

Every child is handed over in person, at the door, to someone on the list you give us in writing. We ask for ID from anyone we don't know, and we don't release a child to a person who isn't on the list, even a familiar face.

A shift that runs over happens. Tell Miss Nguyet by message or phone as soon as you know you'll be late. If pickup runs past closing time, we talk it over in person, and the rule is in writing when you enroll.

Miss Nguyet cooks breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack in her kitchen: rice, soup, eggs and fruit, and on some days a Vietnamese dish or red beans and rice. Tell us about any allergy at the tour; once you enroll, we ask again in private. Families of babies bring the milk or formula.

Babies sleep on their backs, in their own cribs, with nothing else in the crib. Older children rest on mats, at the time each one needs.

We close on the holidays we give you in writing when you enroll. If Miss Nguyet is ill or has an appointment, we tell you before dawn so you can make a plan. During hurricane season we follow the storm plan below, and we text every family when we close.

We ask for two weeks' notice, by message or in person, before your child leaves the program.
