a. Parents Day Out is a drop-in program only. You must pre-register no earlier than one month in advance and no later than 12 pm the Tuesday prior to the PDO request date. Your admission must be confirmed by email or phone; we can only accept a limited number of children due to staffing and to ensure proper care. If we do not have more than 4 children booked by Tuesday prior, PDO will be cancelled for the upcoming Thursday.
III. Snack
a. Midmorning snack will be provided for all children. If your child has specific allergies limiting the foods they can eat, please supply them with an extra snack and let us know.

V. Outside

VIII. Last minute staff illnesses
a. It is possible for one of the workers of PDO to wake up sick on Thursday morning. In the event that we are not able to get it covered, PDO will need to be cancelled for that specific day. If this was to happen and your child is signed up for that day we will call you ASAP and keep you informed.
