Scheduling

All families are required to commit to a schedule that is consistent and respectful of our academic day. All children should

be in their classrooms and ready to learn by 9 a.m. We understand that sometimes this is impossible; therefore, we ask that

you let the school administrator know by 9:30 a.m. if your child will be in attendance or late. Families that do not let their

school administrator know by 9:30 a.m. and arrive after 10 a.m. may be denied services.

All COA schools are state-licensed childcare facilities and therefore must follow regulations set forth by each state. One of

the most important universal regulations is teacher-to-child ratios. COA requires that all families commit to a consistent

schedule. Consistent pickup and drop-off times are essential for proper staffing. In the event that we do not have the

appropriate staff available to cover state-required teacher-to-child ratios, you may be asked to wait with your child until

staff arrives or services can be denied until minimum teacher-to-child ratios can be met.
