The importance of prompt arrival and pick-up cannot be overemphasized. For the first two weeks Toddlers may be walked into and picked up from the classroom by their parent or caregiver. Please hold your child's hand at all times in the parking area, until you are inside the gate. Park in the MMS parking lot and not on Paradise Drive. Always be sure that your car does not block the driveway or interfere with the pick-up procedure.
Children are very sensitive to the order of the day.
They need to have the opportunity to greet their Directress at the appropriate time and to say hello to their friends before getting down to work. Children who enter the classroom late recognize that lessons are being presented. It is difficult for them to settle in and orient themselves to a class already in progress. They often feel embarrassed and uncomfortable entering the class late. It is important for the children, as they grow and develop in all areas of life, to develop the habit of punctuality.
