Personal Belongings
Washington Brights Childcare Parent Handbook
Children should not bring toys or personal items unless requested. We are not responsible for lost or damaged items.
Meals and Snacks
We provide lunch and snacks. Parents may also send food from home if preferred. Please inform us
of any food allergies. When bringing food, please note no peanut or nuts as some kids might have allergies.
Evaluations
We assess each child’s development throughout the year and communicate with parents to support their child’s growth.
Birthdays
We welcome birthday celebrations! Parents can coordinate with the provider if they’d like to bring treats.
Rest Time
Infants: naps every two hours.
Toddlers and older children: one nap after lunch.
Withdrawal Policy
We require a one-month notice if you decide to withdraw your child. If no notice is given, full monthly tuition is still owed.
Final Note
Our policies are in place to ensure the smooth operation of our daycare and the well-being of every child. They are firm and non-negotiable. If a parent struggles with understanding or following them, we will meet to discuss – but continued issues could lead to immediate termination of enrollment.
