Please read and abide by our guidelines so the nursery can run smoothly.
1. Every effort is made to provide a safe environment for our children. Nevertheless, accidents may happen. All parents are asked to sign a Nursery Liability Form that releases the GLECPTA and its members from liability. This form must be filled out and signed before we can accept your child in the nursery. This information is located on our Membership forms. If you have no signed a membership form prior to check in or are a guest member, please make sure to sign a liability form the morning of check in.
2. Reservations are necessary to help determine how many sitters we need each month. Reservations can be made by sending an email to LECPTAreservations@yahoo.com beginning one week prior to the general meeting and ending at 10 PM on the Friday prior to the meeting. If you do not have email access, you can call (972) 316-8687. This is a home number so please be considerate when calling. Please leave the following information: Child’s name, Child’s birth date (including year), your name and your phone number.
3. If you must cancel your reservations for any reason, please email or call promptly. Since nursery space is limited, members failing to cancel a reservation by 7:00 pm the Sunday before the meeting WILL be charged the nursery fee even though your child did not attend. This fee must be paid before another reservation can be made. Please be aware and respectful of this policy.
4. When registering your child for the nursery at the meetings, you will be given 3 stickers with your child’s name and room number. One sticker should be placed on your child’s back, one on your child’s diaper bag, and one on you. Please do not place your child in another room without first talking to the nursery personnel.
5. Nursery check in begins at 9:00 A.M. and is completed by 9:30 A.M. Please pick up your child no later than 11:15 A.M. from the nursery. Check in will be held on the south side entrance.
6. Children will be provided with a snack. Please inform the sitter of any food allergies.
7. All items brought with your child need to be labeled. Please do not allow children to bring their own personal toys into the nursery.
8. We cannot accept a child who is ill. Please keep your child at home if he or she has exhibited any of the following during the 48 hours prior to the meeting: fever, vomiting, diarrhea, unexplained rash, cold symptoms or any other signs of illness.
9. In some cases, it might be necessary to call the mother from the meeting (i.e. if the child has been crying continuously or becomes ill.) Please do not return to the meeting room with your child. Babies under 6 months of age are allowed in the general meeting room, but please use discretion regarding any upset babies during the meeting.
Our desire is that the nursery be a pleasant experience for you and your child. If you have any questions, comment or concerns, please feel free to contact the Nursery chair.
Nursery fees:
The nursery fee is $5.00 per child per meeting. This price includes all crafts, snacks, supplies and childcare. For your convenience, you may pay for the entire semester as follows:
• Fall semester (September – December): $20 each child
• Spring semester (January – May): $25 per child
*** Please note that if you pay by the semester you must still make a nursery reservation each month using the email or phone system ***
If you show up for the nursery but did not make a reservation by Friday prior to the meeting, you will be charged $2.00 extra per child and be placed on a waiting list. Once everyone has checked in then we will begin accepting those on the waiting list. Space is minimal and registration may fill quickly, so it’s important to register each child early.
Please bring exact change or a check payable to GLECPTA when you check in your child prior to the meeting.
