Family Responsibilities
While we understand emergencies do arise, we request parents keep in mind that children and staff have had a long day. Continuous tardiness in picking up a child on the part of a parent will necessitate our requesting the child be withdrawn from the Center. A late fee of $3.00 per minute after 5:30 P.M. will be charged and payable immediately to the staff member in charge at the time of pickup.
Health & Safety
- Current medical records will be kept on each child while actively enrolled in ALL. These records are to include a child’s identification record and medical release form to be kept in a central file for easy access to Center staff. An up to date immunization record appropriate to the child’s age (unless child has a certified medical exemption); to be kept in the child’s file.
- Office staff or teachers may review your child’s medical records monthly and inform parents when medical examination or immunizations need to be updated. The Center’s Director will review all medical records on a quarterly basis.

- A written record will be kept of any incidents relating to your child regarding their health and safety or issues that concern them physically or mentally. It is this Center’s legal responsibility to report to the State of Maine any indications of suspected child abuse or neglect and we will do so.
