Policies

Hours of operation for Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academies are Monday through Friday from 6:30 am – 6:00 pm. Please make sure that you drop off and pick up your child(ren) in a timely manner. Kids `R` Kids of West Frisco expects parents to respect and abide by our hours of operation. We recognize it is not always possible to predict traffic or work schedules. If it is not possible to pick up your child by 6:30 pm we ask that you call us no later than 5:30 pm so that we may tell your child when to expect you so he/she won`t worry.

If you have called by 5:30 pm there will be a fee of $10.00 for the first 5 minutes and $1 per minute after 6:05 pm which will be charged to your account immediately. It is up to the discretion of management to waive the fee.

If we do not receive a phone call there will be a fee of $25.00 for the first 5 minutes and $1 per minute after 6:05 pm which will be charged to your account immediately. This fee may not be waived.

If children are left at the school after closing time and no word is received from the parent, or an emergency contact cannot be reached, authorities will be contacted.

If there are three or more incidences within one quarter, your child may be dropped and not allowed to return without the Director`s permission and a new registration fee will be applied.

Enrollment Forms

Breakfast, lunch, morning and afternoon snacks are available at Kids ‘R’ Kids for no additional charge. We offer vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and chicken alternatives for dietary or cultural requirements. We have made every effort to ensure our snacks are low in sugar. We offer a variety of nutritious and delicious options that exceed the state recommendations. Menus can be found in each classroom and in the front office as well as online.

For bottle-fed children, parents must provide prepared formula, placed in bottles with the bottle and lid clearly labeled with the child’s first and last name. Bottles prepared with breast milk should be labeled and stored in a zip-lock bag. Any baby food that has been opened will be sent home at the end of the day along with any unused bottles.

Monthly menus for children on table food are available for review. Please see the Director for information regarding special diets and allergies.

You will be informed of all rates, discounts, late fees, registration fees, check return fees, and any school specific fees for drop in or part time care. The tuition and fee schedule will also provide you with information as to when payment is due and any late charges to be applied.

All prescribed medication must be turned in at the front desk with a member of management. A medication form must be filled out completely and signed by the parent or guardian before any medication can be given. Medication is administered at 11 am and 3 pm each day by a member of Kids `R` Kids Management.

Medications must be in the original container and labeled as follows: child´s name, current date, dosage, times to be given, expiration date, and any other special instructions.

Any non-prescription medication must have a signed, dated note from the child’s doctor stating the name of the child to receive the medication, name of the medication, amount to be given, times to be given, length of time to be given and any other special instructions.

If a child becomes ill, injured, or has an adverse reaction to prescribed medication while at the school, the parent(s) or emergency contact person will be notified immediately.

If it is necessary to seek immediate medical attention for a child, the child will be transported to the closest medical facility. The child’s vehicle and emergency medical permission forms, as well as the health information file, will accompany the child.

In the event of an occurrence of a communicable disease as outlined by the Department of Health, written notification will be posted outside the Boo-Boo room within 24 hours or the next business day.

If an emergency situation develops such as severe weather, fire, physical damage to the building, or any other situation that poses a threat, the safety of the children is our first concern.

The school is equipped with a weather band radio, a fire alarm sprinkler system and fire extinguishers. Fire and severe weather drills are conducted according to state and county regulations or every 30 days.

If there is an emergency situation and it becomes necessary to close the school, parents will be notified to make arrangements for early pickup. If the school needs to be evacuated for any reason, please pick your children up from Celebration Covenant Church located at 8500 Teel Parkway in Frisco. We will notify parents immediately if this situation occurs.

If there is inclement weather and it is determined that the school will not open, parents will be notified via our Facebook page and our website. You can also watch local channels 4, 5, 8, or 11 for more information.

In our effort to provide a safe, healthy environment for each child to grow and develop, we maintain a school free of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco use.

The use or presence of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco is prohibited in the building or anywhere on the grounds by Kids ‘R’ Kids staff, parents, or anyone visiting the school.

The use or presence of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco is prohibited during any outing or field trip, as well as, on any vehicle used by the school to transport your child(ren).

The staff will work with each child to fulfill the needs of that child, and every effort will be made to provide a positive learning experience. Special needs will be accommodated when possible.

Kids ´R´ Kids reserves the right to ask parents to make alternative arrangements for care if it is determined that a child’s needs cannot be met, or the child has not adjusted to group care provided by the school. In the event behavior becomes disruptive to the program or becomes a problem that poses an unsafe situation for the child or other children in the class, alternative arrangements will be required.

If you, as a parent, are uncooperative in completing and returning forms, fail to pay your tuition on time, fail to follow any state or county regulations, or fail to follow any Kids ‘R’ Kids Policy or Procedure, it may be necessary to dismiss your child(ren) from the school.

At Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academies we use a method of “redirection” to guide your child(ren) toward appropriate behavior. If a child is engaged in behavior not conducive to a safe and happy learning environment, the teacher will “redirect” the child toward appropriate behavior. The use of physical punishment or harsh language is prohibited.

Parents or guardians are required to abide by the Kids ‘R’ Kids Discipline Policy any time they are on Center property.
