What do I need to know about Drop-off and Pick-up?

We ask that you escort your child into the building on drop-off, and that you park into a spot and come into the building on pick-up in order to help keep our parking lot safe. If you are late picking up a child, he or she will be waiting in the lounge (7 years & up), or in the gym (6 years & under).
