Upon arrival at the center, we ask that you accompany your child into his/her room, inform the Staff of his/her arrival. This will not only ensure the safety of your child, but it is also Bon Accord Montessori Regulation. Make sure that you say goodbye and reassure him/her of your return. It is also a good idea to communicate with the Staff about how your child may be feeling (if he/she had a bad night etc.), special events that he/she may be excited about, or events that may influence the child’s well-being. If your child has not arrived by 10:00 a.m., we will assume he/she will not be attending for the day. It would be greatly appreciated if you could call the Center to let us know if your child will not be attending especially if he/she is sick. It is regulation that we monitor illness and report 2 or more cases of the same symptoms to Alberta Health Services. At the end of the day,
it is important to notify the Staff when your child is leaving. Do not assume that everyone is aware that you are picking up your child up. Please inform the Staff if someone other than yourself will be picking up your child, either by a note in the communication book or by phone call. Please be advised that your child will only be released to the persons on the authorized pick-up list on the registration form. Staff will ask for picture identification if the authorized person has not been to Bon Accord Montessori before. If someone other than what is on the list will be picking up the child, the Parent/Guardian must inform the Center with a signed letter or put this person on the authorized list if it will occur again. It is the Parent/Guardian’s responsibility to ensure the child will have the proper safety restraint/car seat when the child is picked up from the Montessori.
