Collection of Children

The Kindergarten has set session times in which children are taught, supervised and cared for. These sessions are set out in Group Times on Page 1.

In the event of a child being picked up late BOTH the teacher and assistant must remain in attendance, which would lead to the payment of overtime wages, if they are delayed beyond their normal departure time.

Collection Guidelines:

1. Children must be collected as close as possible to the session
   finishing time.
   
   
2. If a delay of the child's collection is going to occur, the
   Pre-school teacher must be notified.
   
   
3. In an emergency situation, alternative arrangements should
   be made and the Pre-school teacher notified of the changes.
   
   
4. A late collection fee may be applied when:
   

• the parent/guardian is between 15 and 30 minutes late. This fee is $5.00 for every 10 minutes or part thereof;
  
  
• the parent/guardian is over 30 minutes late, the above applies for first 30 minutes, but then the charge is $1.00 per minute.
