PYDC enrolls children 6 weeks through the age of 8 years old without regard to race, color, culture, gender, religion, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, political affiliation, income, or disability. A child is eligible to enroll if an opening exists in the age-appropriate room. If no opening exists in an age-appropriate room, the child is placed on a waiting list, pay a non-refundable $50 hold fee, and admitted as soon as space becomes available. Prior to enrollment, parents will meet with the director to tour the facility and will receive an enrollment packet including the forms required by the Iowa Department of Human Services. At least one week prior to the child’s first day, parents must complete, sign, and submit the following:
· Enrollment application
·
Emergency medical consent
·
Child physical exam report
·
Immunization certificate record
·
Travel/activity/photo release
·
Pick-up permission
·
CACFP enrollment form
·
Contract for care
·
Receipt of handbook
Enrollment information and forms submitted are confidential
and accessible only to administrative staff and licensing officials. Annual
updates to all child files are required. If a child’s file is not updated or is
missing information, PYDC reserves the right to terminate services for the
child.
Contact us to schedule a time for you and your child to visit us in our center. We will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to meet us and learn more about what we have to offer. This time spent gives all involved an opportunity to get to know one another and to make sure that all personalities mix well. This is important and helps to ensure that all parties are comfortable with their surroundings and expectations. After this on site visit, the registration process may begin. There are various forms to be completed and others to be read. Once they are read, completed, signed, and the deposit has been paid, your child's space has been reserved and the final step is to decide on a start date.
All forms must be completed
