Parent Information

Dear Gan Parents,
Last week, I had the honor of presenting a D’Var Torah for my colleagues on
the Early Childhood Educators of Reform Judaism monthly board conference call. It may be appropriate for both parents and teachers to consider this perspective in relation to how we guide our children.
Warmly,
Karen
D’var Torah – Haazinu , Deuteronomy 32:1-52

Moses and the Very Big Time Out

Well, here we are at the end of the Israelites long, long journey from the land of Egypt to the land of Israel. During the course of their adventure, the Israelites had not always behaved respectfully towards God. They had not always abided by the covenant between God and the Jewish people. There had been a bit of idol worship and some insubordination, too. Read More ...

At Gan Yeladeem Learning Center, the children are taught how they should behave rather than being told what they cannot do.  We emphasize the need to behave safely and we help our children to learn the difference between safe and unsafe behaviors. 

To keep our children healthy we have specific guidlines to follow for our illness policy...

If medication must be administered to your child during the day, you must fill out and sign the medication record in your child’s classroom.

Will be posted shortly...

We do not allow any pork or shellfish in the Temple.

If your child arrives before 8:30AM, we will gladly serve him/her the breakfast you supply.

The center will be closed for the following Federal holidays every year:

• The center may be closed during inclement weather.   
• The center may have delayed openings.  A delayed opening will be at 10:00AM. 

There is a registration fee in order to enroll your child. Provided your child remains enrolled at the center year round without breaks, this will be a one time fee. This is NON-REFUNDABLE.

The first month’s tuition in full is due at registration. This is NON-REFUNDABLE.

The payment for the child care center is a monthly fee and is to be paid on the last day of the month. If the last day of the month falls on a weekend, payment is due on the Friday before the last day of the month.

If your child does not attend on a day that is either the Friday or the last day of the month, your payment is due on the last day your child attends that week.

Please note that there will be no reduction in fees for sick days or vacation weeks.

LATE PICK-UP CHARGES

There will be a late pick-up charge of $20.00 for every 15 minutes or part there of, after the end of your child’s day.  This charge is payable directly to the teachers.  There will be NO exceptions to this policy.  Lateness is determined by the Gan clocks.  We request that you do call if you are going to be late but the fee will be charged regardless.

LATE PAYMENT POLICY

Payment is due on the last day of the month for the coming month.  There is a “grace period” until the 5th of the month.  Payments received after the 5th of the month will be considered late and a late fee of $10.00 for each day your payment is not received will be imposed.  There will be NO exceptions to this policy.
