PROGRAM INFORMATION
The Childrens Learning Academy is dedicated to providing a developmentally appropriate academic program in a safe, caring, and nurturing environment. We help children to develop a life-long desire for learning and pride in their individual achievements. We strive to provide the most professional staff possible for your childs education, including state-certified teachers in our pre-school, prekindergarten, and German Immersion classes. The Moms Day Out program utilizes a sensory-based curriculum that stimulates language development, promotes coordination and encourages age appropriate interactions in a small, friendly and often musical environment. The Transition program utilizes an activity-based curriculum that teaches language development, group participation, art exploration, structure, creative movement, music, community concepts, and social development. In addition to the curriculum, potty training is addressed in this classroom. The Preschool program utilizes a flexible curriculum that teaches colors, shapes, numbers, structure, letter identification, beginning writing concepts, community concepts, social development, art, music and movement. The Pre-Kindergarten program utilizes a hands-on curriculum that teaches letter identification, beginning writing skills, sounds, number concepts, community concepts and social development, art, music and movement. The German Immersion program is a multi-age classroom that utilizes a themebased curriculum that teaches phonics, sight words, handwriting, mathematics, social studies, science, community concepts and social development. In addition to the standard curriculum, German language and culture will be integrated into this program. Children in this program will meet and exceed grade level standards.

EXTENDED CARE REQUESTS

Extended care (care outside of the contracted schedule) is based on space availability. To arrange extended care, call or stop by the office at least one day prior to the day you need care to reserve a slot for your child. The Extended Care Request form must be completed. Requests for same day care will not be accepted.

WITHDRAWAL
Thirty (30) days written notice must be submitted to the director before a child is to be withdrawn from the school. CLA reserves the right to give a 30 day notice to families when it is in the best interest of the child and/or school (This must be approved by the Director and Advisory Council). Parents are required to pay for the full 30 days regardless of when your child leaves CLA. Full payment will be required for early withdrawals in May or June without PCS orders. CLA allows children a 4-week adjustment period. During this adjustment period, children may experience some difficulties adapting to the structured environment. Most children will adapt to the structure and routine of the classroom well before this period is over. For children who are not adjusting to our settings, we will have a conference with the parent(s) and recommend other options or courses of action that may help the child adjust within a set amount of time. If the child is unable to adjust at the end of the set amount of time, CLA will remove the child from the program. CLA welcomes children of all abilities. Unfortunately, we are not currently equipped to provide specialized attention for children requiring continuous one-on-one care. The following are some scenarios that would merit removal from the program: 1. Children enrolled in Preschool, Pre-K, & German Immersion programs who have excessive potty accidents, as outlined in potty training section of this handbook. 2. Children who have excessive behavior/discipline difficulties, as outlined in the discipline policy of this handbook 3. Failure to adhere to the illness policies in this book after written notice has been given. 4. Children who resume biting behavior after being reintroduced into the classroom after a biting suspension, as outlined in the biting policy in this handbook 5. Delinquent tuition or before and after care payment of more than four weeks after written notice has been given. *There is a note that states EFT needs to be stopped, or there will be a 25 Euro fee will be applied not sure how you want to word this, or if it should be included under the tuition section as well.

DROP-OFF/PICK-UP TIMES
Our before care program opens at 6:30 a.m. Children may not be dropped off prior to this time. Students must be escorted into the building by a parent or designated adult. Parents must sign their child in and out on the computer (or written sign sheet designated) and inform the provider/teacher when arriving and leaving. Classroom time begins at 9:00 a.m. Students may be dropped off no earlier than 8:55 a.m. If a student is dropped off prior to 8:55 a.m., they will be sent to before care and you will be billed for the before care time. Classroom time ends at 12:00 p.m. for our part-day programs and at 3:00 p.m. for our full-time programs. Any student who is not picked up by 12:05 p.m. or 3:05 p.m. will be sent to after care and you will be billed for the after care time. Our after care program is closed at 6:01 p.m. Students must be picked up prior to 6:00 p.m. Late pick up fees will be assessed for children not picked up by the center closing time. CLA requires written authorization from parents for other adults to pick up their children. Anyone dropping off or picking up a child must stop by the officeto present their IDs and verify they are on the authorized pickup list and have a member of administration clock the child in our out. They should not use the parents door code or computer log in code.. Siblings under the age of 18 may not pick up children.

DRESS CODE
Children should be dressed appropriately for the weather of the day and season. It is a good idea to send a sweater or light-weight jacket for the child to have on hand since the local weather can change quickly. Clothing should be easy for the child to take on and off. All clothing items need to be well labeled in indelible ink with the childs name. During the winter months children need to have a coat, hat and gloves or mittens. We will continue to have outside time as long as the weather permits. All children need to have a complete change of clothing that fits at school every day. This should include shirt, pants, socks and underwear. This change of clothing should be kept in your childs personal bag. Clothes should also be appropriate for the season. Flip-flops and jellies are not permitted. All shoes must have a full strap around the back of the foot. Open-toed shoes are not recommended.

Parent must provide morning snack. Parents need to provide a healthy and nutritious lunch, which includes something to drink for their child. Chocolate, cookies, and other snacks are not prohibited, but should be provided in small amounts only. Carbonated beverages like sodas are prohibited. (All lunchboxes and containers should be well labeled in indelible ink with the childs name.) Children will be encouraged to eat one half of their main course item (sandwich, soup, lunch meat, etc.) before they are allowed to eat the snack and dessert items provided in their lunch. All leftovers, containers and trash items will be returned home. Please provide a large Ziploc bag with your childs lunch box to reduce the mess. Because of the large number of students attending CLA and health code/food preparation regulations, we are unable to heat or prepare childrens lunches. If you would like to send soup or other hot items, please heat them at home and place them in an insulated thermos container. Refrigerators are provided in each classroom for items that need to be refrigerated. If your child attends aftercare, an afternoon snack should also be provided.

Children in full-day programs will have rest time from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Children are not required to sleep during this time, but they are expected to rest quietly for thirty minutes and not disturb those who are sleeping.Students may do quiet activities for the remainder of rest time.All students will be awakened at 2:00 p.m. to continue with the afternoon activities.

POTTY TRAINING
Potty Training is administered in our Transition programs (2-year-olds). Children attending Preschool, Pre-K, and German Immersion must be fully potty trained and may not wear pull-up style diapers to school. A child who has continuous potty accidents numbering more than three a week over a two week period, after the 4-week transition period, will be removed from class.

ILLNESS
As a general rule, children unable to participate in school activities, including outside play, need to be kept home. Any child with fever, diarrhea or vomiting, within the previous 24-hour period, must be kept home the following school day and subsequent days, as necessary, until they are symptom free without medication. Children may not be sent to school with fever reducing medications. Any injury or illness, occurring during the school day, will be evaluated by school administration. Those children determined to be potentially contagious will be sent home with the advice to seek medical attention. A child with a fever of 100.5 (99.5 axill. / 38 C.) or higher and/or two or more episodes of vomiting or diarrhea will be sent home. The child must remain home the following school day, and subsequent days, as necessary until they are symptom free for 24 hours without a medication. If your child has any of the following illnesses, they may not return to school until the time indicated: Varicella Chicken Pox The child may return to school after 7 days and when all lesions have crusted over. Impetigo The child may return to school when lesions are no longer weeping and after 48 hours of antibiotic treatment.

MEDICATION
The administration staff can only administer medications as long as the following criteria have been met: 1. The medication must have the original prescription label and be in the original container. Medication may not be pre-dosed in syringes and left at the school. 2. Non-prescription/over the counter medications must be in their original container and labeled with the childs name. This is to include sunblocks, lotions, chapsticks, and other over the counter medications. 3. A medication form must be completed with specific dosage times, instructions, and must be signed by the parent. Instructions cannot indicate when needed. Medication forms need to be completed at the time the medication is brought to the school. A new medication form must be completed for use of non-prescription medication after 4 days. A doctors note must be presented with dosage and reason for use. 4. Children requiring antibiotics for a specific duration of time only require the initial medication form unless the dose, time of administration, or the medication itself has changed. Medications that are to be given on a permanent, daily basis require an initial medication form. A new form must be completed whenever the status of the medication changes. Medications need to be placed in the locked cabinet in the front office or in the locked box in the front office refrigerator. The medication form must be left with front office staff or placed in the drop box. DO NOT LEAVE MEDICATIONS IN THE CHILDS LUNCHBOX, BACKPACK, OR ON THE DESK IN THE FRONT OFFICE.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
All of our staff have been Red Cross certified. They will make every effort to handle situations to the best of their ability. The administrative staff, or another staff member if administration is unavailable, will evaluate and tend to injuries or illnesses that are not serious and do not require additional medical attention. Parents will be notified, in writing at the end of the school day, as noted in the documentation section of this handbook. If the childs injury or illness requires emergency attention, emergency services will be called immediately and the parent will be notified. If the parent is unable to arrive at the school before the ambulance, a staff member will accompany the child to the hospital with the medical power of attorney. If an injury or illness is determined to be less serious, parents will be notified and a plan of action will be established. If time is a factor, two staff members will be designated to transport the child to the emergency room with the medical power of attorney and the parent can meet them there. If time is not critical, parents will be notified to pick their child up and seek appropriate medical care.

BITING
Most toddlers and early preschoolers will engage in biting at one time or another. This behavior can be the result of normal curiosity, an attentionseeking device, a quick action to compensate for lack of verbal skills, and/or a defense mechanism. In most cases, biting does not become a chronic problem and is curbed with reinforcement of appropriate behavior. On rare occasions, biting becomes a persistent behavior issue or is indicative of a more serious behavior problem. Because the safety of all our children is our primary concern, a more stringent discipline policy is necessary in such cases. After three consecutive biting incidents within a two-month period, the child will be suspended for one month; tuition will remain current during this period. The child may return to class after the suspension period. If further biting incidents occur after the suspension, the child will be removed from the program. Please note that the biting policy is different for ages 2 and under. For specific questions regarding this policy, please see the Director.

BEHAVIOR/DISCIPLINE
Appropriate behavior choices are essential for a child to thrive and learn in an educational setting. Disruptive behavior can hinder the learning process for all students in a classroom, and can even create an unsafe environment. For these reasons, classroom rules are set and must be followed by all children. When a child is disrupting class, and not following the classroom rules, the initial step for discipline is verbal redirection. The teacher, or provider, may firmly tell the student No followed by an explanation of the inappropriate behavior and direction to correct the behavior. If verbal redirection is ineffective, time out may be utilized. The teacher, or provider, will explain the inappropriate behavior and place the child in time out away from the other children and activity for an age-appropriate period. After the time out the child will be returned to the activity without further repercussions. If a second time out is necessary, it will be completed in a separate portion of the classroom under the supervision of the teacher or provider. If inappropriate behavior continues, a supervised time out in the main office may be required. If all of the above steps have been taken without any progress, a parent may be called to speak with the child about appropriate behavior choices. For the safety and well being of all children and staff, severe misbehavior cannot be tolerated. A child who deliberately injures another child or staff member will be sent home for the day. Additionally, any excessive misbehavior will result in the child being sent home for the day. Excessive misbehavior is defined by the teacher or provider in conjunction with the director.
- 15 -

If patterns of misbehavior or injurious behavior develop, a conference will be arranged between the director and the parents. At the time of the conference, a specific plan for behavior improvement will be developed and a time period will be set. If the childs behavior has not improved at the end of this time period, the child will be removed from the program.

Anti-Bullying policy for age 5 and up

Bullying, by definition, is any single incident or pattern of behavior directed at another person that results in that person feeling intimidated or harassed, or results in the physical or emotional injury of the person. Some examples of bullying are: 1. Pushing, hitting, kicking or throwing things at someone. 2. Stealing or damaging another person's property. 3. Name calling or teasing. 4. Threatening to hurt someone. 5. Leaving someone out on purpose and without good reason. 6. Spreading rumors about someone. Any student, who believes they have been bullied, or who has seen another student being bullied, should report the problem immediately to a teacher or other adult. Furthermore, any employee or parent who witnesses a bullying incident should report it to the Director. For any violation of the Anti-bullying policy, the following consequences will be applied in sequential order as each violation occurs. The Director may apply more than one disciplinary action, or skip a step, depending on the severity and nature of the violation. Step 1: Intervention , Warning, and Redirection The staff member who receives the report will ensure that the immediate behavior stops and will reinforce to the student that bullying will not be tolerated. During this meeting with the student, the staff member will redirect the student to come up with a plan to prevent similar behaviors in the future. The staff member will ensure that proper documentation is made. Note: It is possible to have more than one step one for a student depending on the nature and severity of the behavior. However, one student should not have many step ones. Step 2: Meeting with Teacher/Director

The student will meet with their teacher/Director and/or other members of the school support staff to discuss the problem, solutions to the problem and to reinforce that bullying will not be tolerated. Parents are contacted by phone and student is notified in writing, on the documentation form, of future consequences if the behavior continues. Previous documentation will be reviewed with parent and student. The student will be required to sign the anti-bullying contract with parent signature as a witness.

Step 3: Suspension and/or Expulsion In cases of severe or repeated bullying, the student may be suspended. In the event of dangerous bullying (such as serious physical violence or threats), or where repeated efforts to address the problem have failed, the student may be expelled.

Anti-bullying Contract Bullying, by definition, is any single incident or pattern of behavior directed at another person that results in that person feeling intimidated or harassed, or results in the physical or emotional injury of the person. Some examples of bullying are: 1. Pushing, hitting, kicking or throwing things at someone. 2. Stealing or damaging another person's property. 3. Name calling teasing. 4. Threatening to hurt someone. 5. Leaving someone out on purpose and without good reason. 6. Spreading rumors about someone.

I, ___________________________, understand that my previous behavior is by definition bullying, and I fully understand that CLA has a zero tolerance policy for bullying. I have also been made aware of the severe consequences that will be enforced if my bullying behaviors continue.

DOCUMENTATION
All injuries and illnesses are documented in the students file and an accompanying medical report is sent home. Medical reports will note the type of injury, cause of injury and medical attention given. When a child is sent home due to illness or injury, an additional form is provided outlining symptoms, treatment recommendations and when the child may return to school. This note requires a parents signature. Unusual occurrence notices are sent home for the occasional accident or small incident. The notice will indicate the nature of the occurrence and what action, if any necessary, was taken. The incident report (with space for parental response) is utilized for events of repetitive inappropriate or injurious behavior or incidents of more serious concern. The report will note the type of behavior, action taken, and future consequences for such behavior. This form requires parental signature. The parental response portion should be filled out and returned to the school within two (2) days. All notices and reports are copied and kept in the students files. Notices and reports are placed in the students cubbies to be picked up. Please make sure you check your childs cubby daily and read any notices carefully. It is very important that communication lines be kept open. Forms requiring a parent signature need to be returned to the office. Failure to return the form does not relinquish notification. Copies of these forms are located at the end of this handbook.

ABUSE/NEGLECT
Any suspected case of abuse or neglect will be evaluated and documented. The administrative staff (mandated reporters) will evaluate any suspicious injuries, marks, and inappropriate comments. Copies of all documentation will be kept in the students files. If the evaluation indicates further action is warranted, a conference will be set up with the parents and administrator.

MISSING CHILDREN
All possible care is taken to ensure a student does not hide or leave the area they should be in. However, if a child is suspected missing the following procedures will be implemented: Any child not located within 5 minutes is considered missing. ?The police and parents will be notified immediately and all available staff will search for the child following a specific plan. * One person will be designated to remain in the main office to answer the phone and handle all communication between searchers.

COMPLAINT PROCESS
We recognize that from time to time parents of the school, as well as staff, will be unhappy with decisions made about the management of the school. The Director has developed the following process for addressing such complaints: 1. All complaints should first be brought to the attention of the schools Director, and he or she should be given the opportunity to resolve the situation first in a timeframe not to exceed two working days. If the problem is directly related to the Directors performance, he or she should still be made aware of concerns if at all possible prior to filing a formal complaint. If the Director is unable to resolve the issue to the parents or staff members satisfaction, a written complaint should be filed with the Advisory Council. A formal complaint form is provided for this purpose and copies are available outside of the Financial Officers office. Please be as detailed as possible, it will allow the Advisory Council to address your problem in a timelier manner. The Advisory Council will address the issue at its next scheduled meeting, or, if time is an issue, an emergency meeting will be held. An Advisory Council member may contact the person filing the complaint for further information if needed. The Advisory Council will advise the person filing the complaint of decisions made no later than 7 days after the Advisory Council has met. If the Advisory Council is unable to reach a majority decision, the matter will be brought to the next General Membership Meeting. All personnel matters will be considered confidential, whether handled by the school Director or by the Advisory Council. Should such matters require discussion at a General Membership Meeting, names and circumstances will be kept confidential.

SNOW / INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

CLA serves a large active duty, NATO and civilian community. Our snow and inclement weather policy is intended to ensure the safety of CLA students and staff. Therefore, CLA will follow DODDS schools closures and delays, but because of our off base location we reserve the right to determine CLA closures and delays on immediate conditions at our school. Closures: When DODDS schools are closed, Childrens Learning Academy will be CLOSED. Delayed Start: If DODDS schools announces an amended schedule (i.e.: late start) prior to opening, CLA will operate on an amended schedule as well. For delayed starts our doors will open at 0830 for those students needing before care. Class will begin at 1000. Unless weather warrants otherwise, closing time will remain the same on these days. Early Release: If DODDS schools revert to an amended schedule after the normal school day starts (after 0900), we will also revert to our amended schedule and close no later than1500. Aftercare will not be provided.

Notification will be sent via CLA web-site www.childrens-learningacademy.org, facebook, and email. Recall rosters will be activated only for early release.

HOLIDAYS/BIRTHDAYS
The Childrens Learning Academy observes most federally observed holidays in close coincidence with that observed by DoDDs. Please refer to the school calendar at the beginning of this handbook for the scheduled days of closure. At CLA, we encourage the celebration of special holidays and birthdays. Classes will often plan parties around these days. We do allow parents to bring food they have prepared at home for such celebrations. Please ensure you use proper techniques when preparing, storing and transporting baked goods to the classroom. Cleanliness should always be top priority to maintain safety. Please speak with your childs teacher about any food allergies that may be present in your childs class. When planning birthday celebrations, please communicate with the teacher to ensure your plans fit into the daily classroom schedule. Cupcakes and/or cake are appropriate for birthday celebrations. We do not suggest you plan a full party for the classroom. Invitations, presents, games and favors are best saved for outside celebrations. Lastly, families will not receive volunteer credit for bringing in treats and celebrating their childs birthday.

PARKING
For safetys sake, when making the final left turn onto our street, please make sure to SLOW DOWN. Oncoming traffic is still difficult to see even though a traffic mirror has been installed. The Children Present signs have been posted by the city and all appropriate traffic laws will be enforced by the local government. The best areas to park are on either side of the street in front of the building, or down near the playground. Please do not park on sidewalks or block driveways on the street leading to the school residents can and do call the Polizei. In addition, please do not block entrances to the walking paths or park in the volunteer of the month parking slots. You may not leave other children under the age of 12 in the car unattended while you enter the building to drop off or pick up students.

PERSONAL TOY RESTRICTIONS

Toys belonging to students are not permitted in the building, with the exception of scheduled show-and-tell days in the classroom. Any items of this nature belonging to the student will be confiscated to be returned at pick-up. Blankets and stuffed animals may only be brought out during naptime.

SPECIAL EVENTS
CLA and the Advisory Counsel host many special events throughout the school year. These events usually include a fall carnival, Milk & Cookies with Santa, Easter egg hunts, spring clean up, field day and an end of the year picnic. In addition to these events, classes have special events of their own. Parent participation is encouraged and necessary for all of these events to occur. Volunteer information is distributed in the monthly newsletter, on the volunteer board and at the individual classrooms.

PHOTOS
CLA traditionally schedules professional photos twice during the year. Individual photos are scheduled in the fall and class photos in the spring. Any other photos taken in the classroom or during events are for classroom and school use only. Photos will not be used for publicity or other purposes without consent of the parent. A photo permission form will be filled out for each student during registration. This form does not include professional photos. Order forms will be sent home for professional photos and your order will be considered consent for the photographer to take those pictures.

Advisory Council
Welcome to the Childrens Learning Academy PTC! By enrolling your child at the Childrens Learning Academy, you are automatically a member of the PTC, so wed like you to know what were all about. The PTC supports the school by organizing fundraisers to help purchase extras for the school and sponsors fun activities for the children, such as Milk & Cookies with Santa and Field Day. We have also tried to show our appreciation for the dedicated staff who work here at Childrens Learning Academy through lunches, small gifts, and purchase of items they need but could not get within the school budget.

The Advisory Council

The Childrens Learning Academy is a parent-owned cooperative, which means that every family with children enrolled here is an owner of the school. The school is managed through its PTC Advisory Council, elected each May by the membership. The Advisory Council meets monthly to review school business and to plan future activities. Day-to-day management is in the hands of the school Director and parents are encouraged to contact her first if a concern arises. A complete complaint process is posted on the PTC Board.

General Membership
The General Membership of the Childrens Learning Academy PTC thats you! meets four times a year to review the actions of the Advisory Council and provide suggestions and ideas. A schedule of this years meetings is listed on the back of this brochure. Remember, this is your childrens school, so we hope you will find time to attend the PTC meetings and share your ideas.

Volunteers
As you know, when you registered your child at the school, you agreed to spend 10 hours volunteering at the school over the next year. We have lots of activities to plan this year, and we hope every parent will see some activity that makes use of his or her special talents. On the next page of this booklet, we have listed some of the skills we think we may need, and we hope you will find a minute to fill it out and return it to the Childrens Learning Academy office. In addition to one-time activities, we are also looking for a room parent from each class to help us coordinate with the other parents from that class and find volunteers for inside and outside the classroom as needed. If you are interested in this role, please let your childs teacher or an Advisory Council member know. Obviously, any of these activities will fulfill your volunteer requirement! Volunteer requests will be posted on the Volunteer Opportunity Board outside the office. We hope you will find an activity that interests you involvement in your childs school sends the message that education is important!

Parents Code of Conduct As a childs first teacher, a parent has tremendous impact and influence in shaping the childs academic performance and behavioral conduct. We expect all parents and guardians at our school to model appropriate behavior and to be good examples to our school community. All Childrens Learning Academy Parents Shall: 1. 2. 3. 4. Be respectful to the staff, students and other school community adult members at all times. Hold their child responsible and accountable for following all school rules and coming to school every day on time. Refrain from using profanity and inappropriate language on campus. Follow the school protocol for handling complaints by first seeking a resolution with the staff member involved in a positive and professional manner. Strive to assist the staff and the school community in increasing the overall academic achievement and safety of their child at school.

5.

Should a parent or a guardian violate any of these standards, the following will occur: 1. The adult will receive a verbal and written warning about their disrespectful behavior from the Director. 2. The Director reserves the right to give a 30 day notice to the family because it is in the best interest of the school.
