Curriculum:  Our resources include the Scripture Bite Curriculum Guides as well as other Christian material.  The children experience learning through activity centers such as art, blocks, books, homeliving, nature, and  puzzles.  Activity teaching is used by sharing Bible thoughts, stories, and conversation as preschoolers are in action.  Music is provided each day in a special classroom with our music teacher.

Discipline:  Our discipline policy is that of redirection by diverting a child to another activity.  If this does not work, a child may be placed in "time-out."  A continuing problem will be brought to the attention of the director at which time a conference with the parents may be scheduled.

Schedule:  Tuesday and Thursdays, 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

PLEASE DO NOT drop children off before 9:00 a.m.. Promptly pick children up at 2:00 p.m.. Late fees ($1.00 for every five minutes late) will be assessed.  We will follow the Fayette County school calendar for all conference and snow days.

Fees:  A $100 deposit is required prior to the beginning of a semester.  It will be applied to a $25 registration fee per child per semester and the first month's tuition.  Tuition is $21 per day for the first child and $18 per day for each additional child.  Tuition is due even when the child is absent.  A two-week notice is required when withdrawing from the program. 

Personal Needs:  Parents are required to provide an extra change of clothing as well as a sufficient amount of diapers for each day.  Each child should bring a fitted crib sheet and a blanket to use during rest time.  Mats provided by "His Kids" are vinyl covered and two inches thick.  Parents will provide a morning snack and juice for their child.  Parents are required to send a nutritious lunch for their child.  State regulations require that a food from each of the basic food groups (meat, fruit or vegetable, bread or crackers) must be served.  We provide 2% milk to be served at meal time unless your child is allergic to milk.  Pleae do not send foodsw that need to be microwaved.

Parking:  Please park in a designated parking space rather than under the carport while dropping and picking up your child.

Daily Reports:  A daily report is filled out for each child by the teachers and given to parents at the end of the day.  This report tells the parent what activities their child enjoyed, how well they ate and rested, their behavior and other information.

Sickness:  We only accept children who are well.  We are depending on parents to help us maintain this policy.  A CHILD MAY NOT COME TO CLASS IF HE OR SHE HAS HAD VOMITING, DIARRHEA, OR A FEVER (100°F OR ABOVE) WITHIN THE PAST 24 HOURS.  We cannot accept children that have a contagious illness.  Should your child become ill during the day, we will contact you as soon as possible.  No medication (prescription or over-the-counter) can be given by our staff.

Non-Discrimination Statement:  The Mother's Day Out Program of Porter Memorial Baptist Church does not discriminate in any way in its hiring practices or in its acceptance of children.
