antelope area daycare preschool family learning center
Family Learning Center preschool http://www.familylc.org and daycare was founded in 2002.
We believe that all children deserve love, attention, and nurturing. I believe that a safe environment allows children to explore and grow. At Family Learning Center Preschool, we allow children to have hands-on learning experiences. This fosters age appropriate development. We read to the children everyday. We believe that positive reinforcement is important for children to develop self-esteem. Children need an environment that supports free expression and stimulates learning. Most importantly, however, we believe that children need to have fun! http://antelopepreschooldaycare.com/
At Family Learning Center Preschool http://antelopepreschooldaycare.com we make sure that every child is involved in stimulating activities everyday. And of course, we make sure they have fun Children learn best when they are having fun! At Family Learning Center we recognize that you have a difficult schedule and support parents the best we can. We offer drop-in care and early drop-off and late pick-up so that your schedule can be accommodated. We recognize the importance of work, and the stress and demands placed on parents. We strive to make it easier on parents by giving them the knowledge that their children are in good hands.
All of our teachers pass a rigorous screening and fingerprinting process. We are licensed in California. Most of our teachers have advanced degrees in child development. Come by for a tour and experience the difference a little Sunshine makes!

Policies
Non-Discrimination Policy
Family Learning Center, a Christian Early Education Program, admits children of any race, gender, and national ethic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to children at the school. The Family Learning Center is licensed to accept ambulatory children only. The administration reserves the right to dismiss or refuse admission to anyone unwilling to comply with the school's regulations or behavioral standards.
Admission Policy
Authorization for admission to Family Learning Center, a Christian Early Education Program, is made by the Director when each child is determined to be:
1. From 18 months through six years of age
2. Socially, emotionally, and physically mature
3. There is a 30-day probation period for parents and the preschool to determine if the child is able to benefit from the program.
4. When classes are filled, the parent(s) may request to be placed on a waiting list. As vacancies occur, they will be filled from that list.
Enrollment Forms
For your child's safety, and to comply with state regulations, all enrollment papers must be completed and on file BEFORE your child can attend Family Learning Center. You have 30 days to complete and turn in the physicians report.
Attendance
Please notify the Director if your child will be absent on a scheduled day of attendance. We ask this for two reasons: (1) we are concerned about you and your child, and (2) in order to maintain a quality program and proper staffing.
Children may only attend on days they are scheduled. We request this for maintaining proper staff to child ratios.
Withdrawal
If you are planning to withdraw your child from preschool, a written notice at least two weeks in advance must be given. Parents who fail to provide the two weeks notice will be responsible for two weeks’ tuition fees.
Holidays
We are closed for major holidays, and one week for teacher in-service each year.
California Immunization Requirements
The California School Immunization Law requires that children be up-to-date on their immunizations to attend school or childcare centers. Because childhood diseases, like measles, can spread quickly, children need to be protected BEFORE they enter. Most children need booster immunizations before entering kindergarten.
When you register your child for Preschool, YOU WILL NEED AN IMMUNIZATION RECORD. It must show the date (month, day, and year) your child received each dose of the required immunizations. The Preschool will not admit your child unless you have an Immunization Record with you. If you do not have an Immunization Record, or your child has not received all the required immunizations, contact your doctor or local health department immediately to arrange an appointment.
Check your child's Immunization Record to make sure you have a full date for each vaccine dose required.
Medications
If a child needs medication to be given at school, the parent MUST sign the medication form each day the medication should be administered. Only prescription medications will be administered unless the doctor recommends otherwise. We do not administer Tylenol or the likeness there of unless prescribed by the doctor with a note.
Medication will be administered only if it is in its original container and has been signed in on the medication form. Prescription medicine that will be given longer than two weeks requires a physician's signature on the Medicine Release Form.
Injury
An Illness/Accident Report shall be completed for any accident occurring at the Preschool. The report shall be made as soon as possible following the accident. The original report will be sent home with the parent and a copy will be retained in the child's file.
* A Permission for Emergency Medical Care Form is REQUIRED at registration.
* The Preschool will give appropriate first aid to an injured child with minor cuts and bruises.
* If the injury is an emergency, 911 will be called to the Preschool and the parents contacted.
Arrival and Departure
Upon arriving to the school, parents must sign in their child. When picking up their child, they must sign the child out. If someone other than the parent is going to pick up your child, his or her name must be on file in the office and that person must be at least 18 years of age. We will need written authorization if they are not on the list. The Teacher or Director will check the child's folder for identification comparison. Your child will not be released if we have no authorization. Your child is very precious to us. These rules are here to protect your child and to insure their safety.
Food

Birthdays
Your child may celebrate their birthday at school with a small celebration of cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream. Arrangements must be made with your child's teacher or the Director as to the date and time.

Nap Time
