Communication: We welcome your comments, questions and communication with our teachers. Email is the preferred method of communication: toemoutdoorschool@gmail.com My cell number is; 206-890-3849 for emergency texting. We have a FB and IG account (Bobbi_TOS) If you do not want your child posted on SM let us know.
Closure: In the event of weather closure, you will be notified by email. No make ups will occur.
Clothes: Dress your child for the most extreme weather. We are outside most of our day. Wear layers and send extra clothes/socks. Please label any clothes that your child may remove. Bring a backpack and for all day programs, provide a healthy lunch, snack and water bottle. Proper shoes are required for hiking and climbing, No sandals, flip-flops or backless shoes.
Health: Please do not send children with any symptom of illness. We are a kinesthetic program and our activities require healthy, active kiddos.
Drop Off, Pick Up and Absenteeism: Please arrive at your designated drop off time. Preschool drop off has a 30 minute drop off format. Following class, please be present to pick up your child. If you have an alternative drop off/pick up please text/email. Tuition remains the same regardless of absenteeism due to illness, vacation or for any other reason. Tuition cannot be reduced, refunded or made-up.
Payment: School tuition is per session. Once the session begins, you are committed to paying the full session fee. Sessions are discounted for one-time fees, or you may opt for 3 or 4 payments. Note the dates the payments are due. Camp, field trips, parties fees are due in full prior to confirmation of your event.
Preschool and The New Situation: Children learn to adjust when change occurs in a positive manner. Joining a group of children is an exciting change in a child’s life, but it may also be a bit scary. We have found that children adjust to the new situations when the “good-byes” are quick and cheerful.
Field Trips, excursions and parties: Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your scheduled event. Payment and waivers must be received prior to securing your event. Additional siblings are considered in the head-count.
