                       St. Rita Enrichment Center for Children Fees

Account Policy:

Prompt payment of Accounts is expected.  Accounts are prepaid weekly, prior to service given.  
Payment is due on Monday of each week.  Payment is due even if your child is absent, unless
you have notified us that you are taking vacation days (see Vacation Day below for details).  
Any accounts not paid by the last Friday of the month, your child will not be allowed to attend
Enrichment the following Monday.
No Exceptions to this rule! We cannot permit ongoing delinquent payments.

                                                  St. Rita Enrichment Center’s methods of payment are:                                                                                          *Money Order, personal check or Visa/MasterCard.*

Returned Checks:

A $35.00 return check charge will be assessed on any returned check.  If we receive more than one
returned check, the parent will be required to pay with cashier check or money order.

Vacation Days:

All families enrolled on a full or part-time basis in St. Rita Enrichment Center for Children are entitled
to free vacation days.  The number of days a family receives will be determined by the number of days 
a child is enrolled.                                                                        
Please see the chart below.

***If you do not use all of your entitled vacation days during the school year, you may use up to five (5)
additional days during the summer.  However, summer vacation days may not be used during the school
year.  The vacation year begins on the first day of school in the fall***

Withdrawal:

If you choose to withdraw your child from any of our programs, you must give one week advance notice
to the director, if notice of withdrawal is not given you will be charged for an additional week.

Field Trips:

Field trips are scheduled occasionally on days out of school and regularly scheduled throughout the
summer. All children must have a signed permission slip in order to join us on the trip.  We cannot
accept telephone permission. 

Safety Policy:

During the summer and on days out of school, parents MUST come inside to sign their child
in and out.  Telephone calls will not be accepted.  Please include the time of arrival and departure.

For the safety of your child do not drop him/her off outside.  Please accompany your child inside,
and do NOT leave your car running when you come into the building to sign your child(ren)
in or out.

If you send someone new to pick up your child we must be notified in writing prior to his / her arrival. 
Telephone calls will not be accepted.  This change has come due to concern that anyone can claim to
be a parent over the telephone.  This problem can be avoided by listing anyone who may pick up your
child on the Authorized Pick-Up Form.

Child Abuse Policy:

These are the steps that St. Rita will take regarding child abuse:

1.   Suspected Parental Abuse:

o    We will question the child about injury, bruises, etc.

o    Document in writing the injury, child comments, and parent’s comments.

o    If we suspect that child abuse has occurred, we will immediately call the Child Abuse Hot Line  
at 502-595-4550.

2.    Suspected Staff Abuse:

o    We will immediately remove the staff person involved from the workplace while the incident
 is investigated.

o    Check the child and administer first aid if needed.

o    Call the Child Abuse Hot Line at 502-595-4550.

o    Call parents.

o    Call Licensing / Regulation Department within 24 hours at 502-595-4079.

 *** We are required by Law to report any suspected abuse!!! ***

Emergency Treatment Plan:

o   Call parent while waiting for E.M.S.

o    Call the Director if not present

o     Take child's folder and emergency information to the hospital.  If parents have no choice for
the hospital, the child will be taken to Kosair Children's Hospital.

o    Child's Teacher or Director will go to the hospital with the child..

o    Call Licensing / Regulation Department within 24 hours.

 **All children enrolled must have a signed authorization for emergency medical care and a brief
medical history kept in his / her file. **

Immunization:

State Law requires that Child Care Centers have on file a current immunization record for each child.
This is for your child’s protection against disease. 

YOU HAVE 2 WEEKS FROM YOUR ENTRY DATE TO PROVIDE THE CENTER WITH A COPY     
OF THESE IMMUNIZATION RECORDS OR YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COME
TO  THE CENTER UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. 

 Sick Children:

Our program is not designed for the care of ill children.  Children who become ill at St. Rita’s
Enrichment Center , R.O.K.E., Parents Day Out or Day Care will be separated from the other children.                                    
*Parents will be notified to pick up their child immediately. Children need to be kept at home
when any of the following situations are true:

o    Child has any of the following symptoms: sore throat, fever, vomiting or diarrhea.

   o    Call Licensing / Regulation Department within 24 hours.

o    There is a doubt concerning whether the child is well enough to attend the Center.

   *** Remember that this is in the best interest of all the children in any of our programs. ***

Please call if your child has seen a doctor and is diagnosed as having a contagious illness. 
We are required to notify other parents of contagious illnesses. The infected child’s name
will be kept confidential.

Medication:

Medicine will be given only after a permission sheet is signed (to be kept on file). A log sheet
will be provided for daily sign in of medication and directions.  Appointed staff members
will give medication.

All medication must be in the original container, Prescription medicine must be up-to-date
and have child’s name on it.

WE DO NOT GIVE OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION.

Licensing  now requires that parents must sign the log sheet prior to the medication being given.

 ***Note: Licensing has also informed us that sunscreen is considered a medication.  All of the
above guidelines will apply.

Special Rules to Note:

* Discuss any problems or concerns with the Director in private.  If a lengthy discussion is
warranted, please make an appointment to ensure that the problem is adequately addressed.

* Keep all emergency information up to date.  Notify us of changes in your place of employment,
telephone number, and any other pertinent information.  If you are not able to receive telephone
calls  at work, please let us know who we may contact in case of illness, injury, or behavior
concerns.

* Be sure to complete an authorization pick up form.  This form will be kept near the check out
sheet so that staff members may I.D. any persons unknown to them.  Please send only authorized
adults, at least 18 years of age, to pick up your child.  We occasionally have new staff members,
who will not know you by sight.  Please be prepared at all times to show picture identification.   
It will take several weeks for a new staff member to get to know you and associate you with your
child.  Please be patient.  It is the staff’s responsibility to make sure your child is safe.  Please let
anyone picking up your child knows that he / she must sign the sign out sheet, and may be asked
for identification.

* Notify us of any custody changes or changes as to who is or is not authorized to pick up your child.

* We provide a smoke-free environment for the children. We ask that you extinguish all cigarettes,
cigars, etc. before entering the building.

 * Please note that at times we will be doing messy things.  You may choose to send play clothes
with your child so that he / she may change from his / her school uniform.  If you choose to do this,
we ask that you put your child’s name in all the clothing.  Due to fact  that all of our children wear
the same uniform, it is very difficult to return clothing if it is unmarked.  During the summer we ask
that you be particularly careful about marking clothes, underclothes, towels, etc.  Many of these items
are lost while changing for swimming.

* Children in grades Pre-K and 1st will change clothes immediately after school.  Children, who have
consistent behavior problems while changing clothes, will not be allowed to change.  You will receive
a notice of this type of misbehavior before this consequence is given.

 * All children must wear socks and shoes. Children may not come to the Center in sandals or any
other open toed shoes, tennis shoes are preferred.  During the summer you may send water shoes
 or sandals with straps only on days we go to the pool (they may only be worn at the pool). If a child
does not wear the proper foot wear you will receive one written note, after which the child will not  be
admitted if  he/she is not dressed properly.
{THERE WILL BE NO TWO PIECE BATHING SUITS ALLOWED.}

* We ask that you dress your child appropriately for the weather.  We go outside every day, even in the
winter. You may need to send jackets, gloves, hats, etc. for cool and cold weather.  Again, please write
your child’s name in all clothing.  Unless a child has a doctor’s note stating that he/she cannot go
outside, or we have specific instructions from the parents (a written note or telephone call) he/she     
will be going out to play.

* Lost and Found items will be kept in the coatroom.  Please check for lost items regularly.  After school
year is over items will be given to charity.

* The children are served a snack every day when coming from school.  Snack is given in the afternoon
beginning at 2:50 P.M.  If your child refuses  to eat the provided snack, we are not required to provide
another.  If your child has food allergies or dietary restrictions, we must have a physician’s  note on file. 
Alternative snacks will be provided in these cases.  Monthly menus will be posted on the Parent Bulletin
Board located in the first floor hallway.

* Lunch is not provided by Enrichment Center for Children.  Children will need to bring their own lunch
on days out of school, half days, and throughout the summer.  Please do not send a lunch that needs to
be put in the microwave.  We do not provide this service.  Parents are responsible for providing their
child (ren) with a drink.

* Children may not chew gum at St. Rita Enrichment Center for Children.

*  No guns, knives or other potentially dangerous items are allowed at the Center.

* Absolutely NO outside toys are allowed at Center. Outside toys have been a consistent problem.  We
ask that parents please help in this matter.   Occasionally, when school is closed, and during the summer,
we will have special days when the children may bring toys from home.  We will  notify   you when one
of these days is scheduled.  Otherwise toys will be confiscated and given   to the parent upon his/her
arrival.

Rules for Sports and Extracurricular Activities:

* Students who must leave the Center to participate in sports or extracurricular activities must have
permission, in writing, from his/her parent. This note must include the time and day(s) of the week
that your child will leave for the activity.  If these days and times change, you must notify us in
writing before your child will be allowed to leave.

* Due to state required staff-to-student ratios, the Center staff will no longer be able to walk the children
to practice.  Please make arrangements with your child’s coach to stop by the Center before and after
practice to pick up and return your child safely.  The coach, or person designated by you   to take your
child to practice will note the time of departure and return.  If your child will not return to the Center
following his/her practice, the person who takes your child to practice must be listed  on your
Authorized Pick-Up Form.

* Please note that when a child is picked up by his/her coach or designated adult, St. Rita Enrichment
Center is not responsible for the child’s care until he/she is returned to the Center.

* For our liability and the safety of the children, failure to comply with the rules stated above will result
in your child not being allowed to leave the Center for extracurricular activities.

Information Regarding Swimming:

Throughout the summer we will be taking the children swimming at a sight that will serve our needs.
Swimming days and times will be announced each summer.  If you do not wish for your child to swim,
you must send a written note or call the Director in advance.

RULES:         

* Children must follow all pool rules.

* Children may not bring money for food or sodas.  The only exception to this is if you receive a note
stating that we are having a special day for the children.

* All clothing, underclothing, swimsuits, towels, etc. must be clearly marked with the child’s name.

* All students must have a permission slip on file stating that they may go swimming.

* Items children may bring swimming: Swimsuits, [ONE PIECE SUITS ONLY] towels, water shoes or
sandals (only on swim day).  We will apply sunscreen only if a medication permission slip is signed      
and filled out. Sunscreen may not be shared with other children. Children must have their own bottle      
of sunscreen.  If a child uses arm floats, please have them inflated prior to arriving at the Center.

Behavior Philosophy:

ST. RITA ENRICHMENT CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND OUR SUMMER PROGRAM is an extension
 of St. Rita Catholic Church.  We continue the stated philosophy of our Christian Community to assist
parents and school in educating our children in a Christian setting.  We consistently teach our children   
 to maintain a quality of respect for themselves as well as others.  We must not assume that another
person knows how we feel or what we need.  We encourage our children to tell others how they feel
in words.  Stop that!, I don’t like it when..., That makes me feel..., etc.  We tell them to use their loud
and, sometimes, angry voice, if necessary, to let another person know that they are serious.  If that
does not resolve the problem, the child should immediately get an adult person to assist.  Our
liability pertaining to the safety of our children demands that we teach them to disagree with words,
not actions that may hurt them.  A child is NEVER justified in hitting or injuring another child.

Our behavior goal for the children is self-discipline.  Each child freely chooses one form of behavior
over another.  He/she must, therefore, learn to accept the consequences of that chosen behavior.

Behavior Policy:

In response to growing concerns regarding behavior problems, St Rita Enrichment Center for Children
has implemented the following policy.  This policy will deal with minor and major behavior problems
separately.  Please read this policy thoroughly and discuss it with your child.  You and your child will   
be required to sign a document stating that you will adhere to this policy.  This document must be 
turned in within the first two weeks of your child’s attendance.  A new agreement must be signed            
at the beginning of each school year.

Behavior Ladder:

The Behavior Ladder will be used to deal with reoccurring minor behavior problems.  Severe problems
are dealt with separately. See section titled Dealing with Major Behavior Problems.

In your child’s folder brought home daily, there will be a Behavior Chart with a three color ladder.  
Each color represents a step on the ladder.  When a child’s behavior problem persists, they move down
the ladder to the next color.  Each day parents are expected to look at and sign their child’s behavior  
chart  to see how the day went. Through this system parents will be updated daily on their child’s
progress.

 What do the cards mean?

* GREEN = Good Day!!!

* YELLOW = Child has had behavior problems and did not respond to adult’s interaction.

*  RED  = Persistent behavior problems that could possibly cause harm to other children or to themselves.

* BLUE CARD = Child was sent to Director or Primary Teacher for continued disruptive behavior.      
In certain situations, the parents may be called to pick up their child.  Please check your communication
file for a note regarding Blue Cards.

Each day the Behavior Ladder will start at green, giving the child a fresh chance to have a good day. 
However, if a child receives three Blue Cards within a 30 day period, a conference will be set up
between parent, student and Director.  At this time a behavior contract will be agreed upon. If the
student violates this contract within a given time period, he/she may not return to Enrichment     
Center for three days. If inappropriate behavior continues after this, the child will permanently
be removed from the Enrichment Center program.

What will be done to correct behavior before a child moves downward on
correction ladder:  

1.       The adult in charge will confer with the child to seek an understanding and correction of inappropriate
behavior.

2.       When possible, consequences related to the misbehavior will be used.  For example, if a child misuses
a toy, the toy will be taken away; if a child throws food, he/she will be given clean-up duty; etc.  Other
consequences such as the loss of privileges and time outs will also be used.  When these methods have
been exhausted the child will be moved down to the next card.

3.       Please realize that in order for your child to move down the Behavior Ladder, inappropriate behavior
has occurred more than once.  Children choose their behavior and therefore choose to move down the
ladder.  We need your help and support at home in order to provide the best environment for all the
children in our program.

Dealing with Major Behavior Problems:

Behavior problems that interfere with the health, happiness and well-being of others will not be tolerated. 
It is not fair to other children if one child’s behavior choices interfere with the peaceful running of our
program.  Severe behavior problems will be dealt with as follows:

Day of first occurrence - Parents will be called immediately and a Blue Card will be sent home detailing
the problem.  If problems continue after a parent is called, the child will be sent home

Day of second occurrence - Parent is called and asked to pick up his/her child. Child may not return for
three days.  Child will return on a probationary status.

Day of third occurrence -  Parents are contacted immediately and the child is sent home.  Child may not
return to the Enrichment Center .

Examples of major behavior problems:

1.       * Fighting, spitting, wrestling, kicking, hitting, or any other action taken with the intent of inflicting harm. 
Rough play often leads to real fights; therefore, play fights carry the same consequences as real fights.

2.       * Any violent behavior towards others (children and teachers).

3.        * Disrespect; such as, talking back, inappropriate language, defiance, etc.

4.       * Destruction of Enrichment Center property, which includes toys, toilets, cots. 

5.       * Theft from the Enrichment Center or other students.

 This includes all, but is not limited to, the proceeding action.

***Note: Swimming, field trips, and special activities are privileges that may be
taken away if a child has consistent behavior problems.***
