Logging IN & OUT

In order to assure proper tracking of attendance, parents are responsible for using the ProCare automated attendance tracking system to log their child IN and OUT each day

 1. Logging IN & OUT - When you arrive at the center use your 4 digit ProCare number assigned to you at registration to log your child IN / OUT. ProCare log in / log out procedures are carefully covered during New Parent Orientation sessions.  If you have any questions about ProCare or the tracking systems please ask your child’s teacher or the center coordinator for assistance.

  2. Breakfast – If your child is scheduled between 6:30-7:00am they will be automatically included in the Breakfast Program.  Children who are not scheduled for breakfast but arrive during the morning hours before 10:00am will be served a mid-morning snack.

 3. Lunch – Children scheduled during lunch will automatically have a lunch ordered for them.  If your child is not scheduled for lunch and you request lunch to be added on to your child’s normal schedule you will be charged $2.50 for the lunch.  Also, parents who would like to schedule a lunch with their child may do so with advance notice and a charge of $2.50 will be added to the following billing cycle.

 4. Classroom Attendance – Please assist your child in the arrival rituals of the day.  Help them hang their belongings in the appropriate classroom cubbies, wash their hands and walk them carefully to their classroom teacher before you say good bye.  Teachers will sign the child in on classroom attendance sheets that will later be compared to the ProCare tracking system for accuracy.
