Clarifying Drop-in Care

Dear Families,

This week you received a note from WIWS administration about a new drop-in option for before school care (7:30 to 8:30am) and extended day care from 3pm to 5:30pm. If you plan to avail yourself of these options, please attend to the communication expectations in the original email.

Here I wanted to clarify that a drop-in does not exist for nursery or kindergarten children from 12:30 to 3pm. The 12:30pm to 3pm program is full and unable to accommodate any new students. Even were there space, the nature of the 12:30 to 3 program--a nap in a classroom with an unfamiliar teacher and unfamiliar children--is not one we would recommend on a casual basis. It is a program that seeks to serve well children who need it on a regular and consistent basis.

I apologize for any confusion created by the school's original email. With the exception of our two Butterfly children who already stay at school for lunch and nap, the only drop-in program available for current nursery children is the before care from 7:30 to 8:30am. Here again you must make contact with Lucy Yanz to arrange care.

Thanks for your attention,

William
