We would like to thank you for choosing Primary Colors for your childcare needs. We will make every effort to enrich the life of every child in our care. Our staff is experienced and well trained. Each of them also have CPR and first aid.

Primary Colors is licensed and meets or exceeds the state agencies requirements.

We are certain you will be pleased with the love, care and education your child receives.

It is our mission to provide a quality environment for the social, emotional, intellectual and creative development for all children.

Our goal at Primary Colors is to help each and every child feel good about themselves by building their self-esteem!

The love, understanding and care that your child receives from each staff member will also help reinforce a positive self-image. Our staff will treat each child with respect and dignity. In doing so we will teach the children to behave and respond in a positive manner.

Primary Colors provides care for every child without discrimination to race, color, religion or public assistance status. Children 0 to 12 years are eligible to enroll in our facilities. All necessary paperwork must be completed and returned with the registration prior to your child's first day.

Central District Health Department requires that each child has up to date immunizations. These must be kept on file at Primary Colors. It is the parent's responsibility to notify us when your child receives new immunizations.

Daily, each parent will receive communication from their child's teacher in the form of Toddler Times, Preschool Post or Infant Information depending on the age of your child. This will provide you with information regarding meals, naps, activities and general disposition.

Scheduled field trips and special events will be posted beforehand.

Many children are able to enter a childcare facility with little or no complications. However, this transition can be difficult for some children. Our staff will do everything they possibly can to help both the child and parent overcome the anxiety of separation. It has been our experience that children will quickly calm down and begin to explore their environment once the parent has left. We strongly encourage parents to call or observe their child on the office monitors to reassure the parent their child has adjusted.

Drop off and Pick up times

Our responsibility for your child begins when you have signed in and placed your child in the care of a Primary Colors staff member. Under NO circumstances should a child be sent into the center alone and expected to find his/her classroom.

Primary Colors staff will only release your child to persons on your authorized pickup list, unless notified by the parent beforehand. In the event of custodial disputes we must have legal documentation regarding child custody.

We ask that children leave their personal belongings at home unless specifically instructed otherwise, i.e. share day. Each child needs an extra set of clothing in his/her cubby.

A child may experience more illnesses when first entering a childcare facility because of the exposure to other children. We do everything in our power to maintain sanitary conditions to help prevent the spread of illnesses. Should your child become ill during the day we will notify you for immediate pick up. It is our policy that children remain out of the center when ill. The following is a guideline:

• Temperature over 99 degrees
• Two or more intestinal disturbances (vomiting or diarrhea)
• Any undiagnosed rash
• Sore or discharging eyes, ears or nasal drainage
• Unexplained lethargy
• Significant respiratory distress
• Unable to participate in normal classroom activities
• Requires more care than the program and staff can provide

We will notify you of your child's exposure to any illness or infectious diseases.

Primary Colors provides nutritious meals, which include breakfast, lunch and snacks. Our meals meet or exceed all USDA requirements.

Medications will be administered to children as specified on our medication authorization form. The medication MUST be in a prescription bottle with exact dosage clearly marked on the label. If it is a nonprescription medication it must be in its original container and clearly marked with the child's name. Parents must sign children up for medication on a daily basis. The Director or Assistant Director will be the only staff members allowed to distribute medication.

After your child has been continuously enrolled for one year you will receive one weeks vacation. Vacation days must be taken in week increments.

Tuition refunds can not be given, if your child is out for a few days, due to the fact that we schedule staff according to enrollment.
