Arriving and Leaving
The doors to STMP remain locked during the school day for the safety of your children. If you arrive at STMP during a time when the doors are locked, please ring the doorbell you will be let in. If your child attends the full-day program, we may be out on the playground when you arrive to pick them up. Please ring the doorbell and one of the staff will come from the playground and let you in. When you pick up your child, for the safety of all children, please keep your child with you from the time you pick them up until you get them into the car.
Child Pick-Up
The following will occur in the event your child is not picked up according to the child’s contracted schedule. A staff member will remain with your child and every effort will be made to contact authorized person(s) for your child’s pick up. If we are unable to contact an authorized person 45 minutes after the scheduled pick-up time, we will contact the Golden Police Department and/or the Health and Human Services Child Care Division.
Signing In and Out
State law requires that children must be signed in when brought to school and signed out when picked up. Signatures must be your full legal name, no initials. Our licensing regulations require you to sign your name in full. The school may be fined if you are only initialing or not signing. These fines will be passed on to you.
Authorization
You must inform the school if someone other than a parent is going to be taking your child home. On the emergency card, please be sure to list all person(s) you authorize to take your child home from South Table Mountain Preschool. They may be asked to present a photo I.D. if we do not know them. No child will be released to any person not authorized in writing by a parent. State law prohibits us from accepting authorization over the telephone. This is for your child’s safety.
Supervision of Children
Children are under constant, direct supervision of preschool staff at all times in compliance with the Division of Child Care Rules and Regulations—Colorado Department of Human Services. We take headcounts of children when they are being transitioned from one area of the school/building to another to assure locations of each child.
Visitors
All visitors must sign the visitors log in the lobby. The Director should be notified as to the reason for the visit.
