Are lunches and snacks provided?

​

Yes. Well-balanced lunches and mid-afternoon snacks are provided by Wholesome Kids Catering. A menu is shared with parents/guardians on a weekly basis with the planned lunches and snacks for the following week.

​

Regarding allergies: A detailed Anaphylactic Policy is in place as part of the SCNS Policies and Procedures Document which is distributed to all parents/guardians. If the child has any kind of allergy, sensitivity, or even an eating restriction, parents/guardians inform the school in writing upon registration or as soon as the restriction is identified.

​

An individual plan for children with medical needs is created with the parents/guardians and staff following the Creation of Individual Plans for Children with Medical Needs Policy, which is documented in the SCNS Policies and Procedures Document and distributed to all parents/guardians. Once you have informed the school of this in writing, the allergy / sensitivity / eating restriction will be communicated to staff and followed diligently.

​

What sort of parent/guardian communication is in place?

​

Lillio (formerly HiMama), is a childcare software that enables intuitive recording of observations in the early childhood setting and real-time updates with parents/guardians, is used at the SCNS. This application is confidential only to parents/guardians.

 

A consent form is required to be completed by the parents/guardians who will receive access. Communication is done via messages in the Lillio application, phone or email, where necessary, as well as informal discussions at the door at drop off/pick up.

​

Does my child have to be potty trained?

Do we have ECE‑certified teachers?
