Everything
Mom & Dad needs to know…
Dear Parents,
Cuddly Bear Crèche/After Care
Cuddly Bear Crèche/After Care was started in 2007. The Crèche operates from
84 Pienaar Street, Brits and the Grade R Centre from 40 de Witts Avenue, directly behind the day care Centre. The Crèche/After Care was specifically established to serve English speaking children. The After School operates from Thornhill Primary School in Elandsrand.
Just a few forms to fill in and some general information.
1. FEES - See payment structure attached
2. TIMES
We are open from January to December. We are open ALL school holidays except Public holidays and December holidays. A letter will be sent out informing parents of closing times in December holidays.
We are available from 06:30 in the mornings until 17:30 in the afternoon, we are here for your child/children, please make sure you are not late in the afternoons as we’ve also got families that need our love and attention at night. Any child/children fetched after 17:30 will pay an additional fee of R50.00 per half hour, this must be paid directly to the teacher caring for your child, when collecting your child.
3. FOOD
NO SWEETS, BISCUITS, CHIPS OR GAS COLD DRINKS ALLOWED
Sugar and preservatives plays a big role when it comes to concentration levels, the more sugar and preservatives, the less our children concentrate.
A yogurt a day keeps the doctor away... please make sure mommy does not forget to pack a yogurt daily.
4. CLOTHES
Neatness: Please make sure your child/children have got an extra set of clothes to change into in his/her bag, in case of an accident, Please mark all clothing for identification. Please do not expect the little ones to arrive home sparkling clean, as even after they have changed they still play outside until they are collected.
5. SAFETY
You have to sign your child/children out every day. When parent/parents are unable to collect their child/children, please advise who will be collecting the child/children prior to them being collected. If it is not arranged, your child/children will not be able to leave the crèche premises.
I need all parents’ assistance in this regard as there are ‘strange’ people around us and not everybody can be trusted.
6. ILLNESS
If your child is sick and needs to take medication during crèche hours please mark your child/children’s medicine clearly and the dosage that needs to be given to the child/children. Please hand the medicine to a teacher on dropping off your child in the morning. Do not leave the medicine in the child’s bag. If your child falls sick while at the creche, parents will be notified as soon as there is a fever and/or child/children are feeling ill. The crèche personnel cannot take a sick child to the doctor, therefore when a parent is notified of their child’s condition, the parents should arrange to have their child/children taken to the doctor as soon as possible. Please do not bring a child to the creche if they have a contagious illness, as they will infect other children and staff.
