What are the hours of the school day?

Most of The Children’s Courtyard locations operate between the hours of 6:30 am and 6:30 pm. Hours may vary, so please inquire about the specific hours of your school.

What is the teacher-to-child ratio?

We try to keep the child-to-teacher ratio as low as possible. It may, however, vary from room to room.

Do children receive a report card?

We provide daily reports, encourage communication, and provide two parent/teacher conferences per year. This way, we make sure that you can celebrate your child’s accomplishments as we do.

Do you provide meals and snacks?

Yes, we take care of your child’s nutritional needs throughout the day.

What if my child is allergic to certain types of foods?

We require that parents alert us to allergies for inclusion in the child’s medical file. Based on the prohibited foods, an allergy plan is created and the child’s teachers are alerted. When a food on a child’s prohibited list is served, the child receives a substitution.

Do the children go on any field trips?

Yes, we occasionally take Pre-K and School Age classes off school grounds to enrich the learning experience. All field trip destinations are appropriate for small children. And we follow very strict procedures to ensure safety and security while your child’s class is out of the building.

Do you require parents to volunteer their time at school?

Parents are not required to volunteer at their school, but we do encourage parental involvement at your convenience.

What is the tuition and how is it paid?

Tuition varies by location and classroom. Tuition is due every Monday for that week. We accept personal checks and online payments through our "parents only" secure Intranet site. Ask your director for more information.
