Clothing
Everything brought to Country Village Day School should have your child's name on it in permanent ink, including clothing and school materials. We ask that children wear either tennis shoes or other sturdy shoes to school. The children should wear clothing to school that can get messy. Please do not send them in their best party clothing for everyday. We paint, play outside, cook, and go on nature walks, and these activities do not mix well with cherished clothing. Each child should have another full set of clothing in his/her cubby at all times in case his/her other garments become soiled, wet, or uncomfortable while at school.
Lunches
Because we do not serve
lunch at Country Village, we have refrigerators and microwaves in
each room for your convenience. CVDS is also a Nut-Free School.
Infant Feeding
Policy
At Country
Village, we feed babies on demand within the reasonable judgment of
your child's caregiver. We feed your child what you bring for breakfast
and lunch and ask that before you bring any type of foods to Country
Village for your baby, you introduce it to them first at home. If a
child is rejecting certain foods we will keep you informed. It is also
our policy that any food opened and requiring refrigeration must be sent
home at the end of the day, or thrown out. This way we ensure that your
child is receiving fresh foods and liquids.
Baby Room Policies
Upon enrollment, you
will receive a Baby Room Handbook listing all the rules and guidelines
we have to give the very best and most consistent care to your child.
Some things that you do at home, we unfortunately will not be able to do
here. This is due to state and health department requirements in effort
to minimize any negative situations. You will have the opportunity to
inquire regarding specific policies as you read through the handbook.
How Can I Help?
Fundraising
Why fundraisers? Unfortunately, all schools have great difficulty providing all the materials and experiences for the children from tuition alone. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care for your child. Because accomplishing this is costly, we must have added funds to our kindergarten education tuition. Each year, we kick off our auction planning in October at our Pumpkin Pie Social. We do not insist on a dollar amount, but encourage each parent volunteer where their services best fit. We certainly understand that a time commitment is not possible for everyone and so we always appreciate monetary donations. In October, our kindergarten education school hosts a book fair. This is a great opportunity for parents to do some early holiday shopping. Country Village earns a percentage of total sales in which we are able to update our library and add books to the individual classrooms.
Parent Communication
Our chief means of communication at CVDS is through e-mail, verbal communication, and your child's cubby. It is imperative that cubbies are checked daily so that you are aware of all happenings at Country Village. In effort to communicate with you in the most convenient and efficient manner, we are able to e-mail.
Furthermore, Country Village Day School publishes a monthly newsletter at the beginning of each month. This letter consists of reminders and information regarding upcoming events at Country Village. Weekly newsletters are written in each classroom to update you on what happened that week in the class and also what is to come in the following week in addition to classroom journals for our upper school classes and daily sheets for our lower school children.
