School Rules

1. A WARM WELCOME TO YOU ALL

First and foremost I would like to WELCOME you to Kiddies PLACE, a Christian Nursery School which started in 1989, in a clean and safe environment. Kiddies PLACE continues to maintain a very good reputation and is known for it’s extremely high standard of education.

2. ARRIVAL TIME

From 6h30 to 9h00 a.m. The gate will then be locked for security reasons. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE SCHOOL GATES ARE SHUT BEHIND YOU. ALL PARENTS ARE TO ANNOUNCE THEIR ARRIVAL BY INTERCOM AND MUST NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LET IN BY ANYONE ELSE. Ensure that your child arrives on time so that classes are not disturbed. Breakfast is served at 08h00 SHARP! So children to be fed at school must be punctual.

3. DEPARTURE TIME

Kiddies PLACE closes at 5:00p.m SHARP! When you come late, you donate! When you are late in fetching your child, it will cost you R100 for every 15min or part thereof. If late fetching occurs often, regrettably you will be asked to leave Kiddies PLACE. The first R100 will go to the staff for overtime. The rest will go towards CHARITY OF MY OWN CHOICE

FOR NO MISUNDERSTANDING, HERE IS A CLEAR LAYOUT:

  1. 5:00 – 5:15 = R100
  2. 5:15 – 5:30 = R200
  3. 5:30  - 5:45 = R300

4. FOOD MENU

We offer breakfast, dessert and snacktime. Parents are responsible to pack lunch and Liqui Fruit. We have three microwave ovens at Kiddies PLACE. When you cook supper at home and find you have extra food left over, you can give it to your child for school lunch and your child will have a warm lunch especially nice in the winter months. I will treat the children with desserts however; our rule is that they can have it after they have finished the lunch which you have packed for them.  Kindly label your child’s lunch box please.

5. IMPORTANT

AS YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO US, please notify me of ANY other family or friends who will pick up your child. Please provide us with the name and description of the person /persons in writing. If I have not been informed, your child WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE KIDDIES PLACE. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

6. MEDICINE

A VERY CLEAR NOTICE AND TO THE POINT

Sick children MUST NOT be brought to school, PLEASE!

  1. Your child would pass it on to the other children and staff.
  2. Teachers would be attending to the needs of sick children and focus on teaching time would be taken away from the other children. Teachers and staff will not be held responsible if the above rules is not heeded to if a sick child’s condition deteriorates.

The CITY HEALTH requirements states that teachers and staff are not permitted to give any medicine without written instructions from the parents. A file is kept at school with all MEDICATIONS administered, must be recorded, on a daily basis. This complies with the City Health regulations e.g. DATE, TYPE OF MEDICATIONS, TIME TO BE ADMINISTERED, REASON FOR MEDICATION and SIGNATURE. Bottles are to be clearly marked with your child’s name. In case of illness or injury, the ONUS is on you, the parent, to fetch the child AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Therefore, always ensure that any change of telephone numbers or address is notified immediately.
