Illness:  Children must be picked up if they show the following symptoms:  Temperature of 100 degrees, vomiting, diarrhea, red eyes with mucus discharge. Children must be fever free, without medication, for 24 hours before returning to MMO.

Classroom Rules:  Our rules will be a reinforcement of The Fruit of the Spirit.  We will use the following words while kindly redirecting behavior:

  • Gentleness
  • Peace
  • Love
  • Kindness
  • Joy
  • Patience
  • Faithfulness
  • Goodness
  • Self-control


Discipline:  By being consistent with our classroom rules, each child will know the appropriate classroom behavior.  We use positive reinforcement that rewards acceptable behavior and gives consequences for unacceptable behavior.


When a child’s behavior violates the classroom rules, the following steps will be taken:

  • The child will be spoken to in a private manner to ensure that he or she knows the appropriate classroom behavior.
  • If misbehavior continues, the child will be placed in time-out. The parent will be notified of the time-out.


Visitors:  Parents/guardians are always welcome.  We do request that you schedule an appointment with your child’s teacher for a classroom visit or parent conference, so as not to disrupt the class.


Emergencies:  Should your child become ill or injured during MMO, our policy is as follows:


  1. We will attempt to contact the parent.
  2. In the event that we cannot reach the parent, we will attempt to contact the Emergency Contact person listed on the registration form signed by the parent.
  3. Should contact not be made, MMO shall take appropriate actions to care for the child.


Arrival/Dismissal:  Drop off is between 8:30 and 9:15; we begin our scheduled morning circle time at 9:15.  Dismissal is at 2:00.


It is easier on your child if you do not prolong morning drop off.  It is best for the parent to say goodbye, give a hug and a kiss and leave the child as quickly as possible.  Children will usually settle down once their parent is gone.  You are welcome to call and see how your child is doing.


We must keep guidelines on when the program opens and closes each day.  Please plan to arrive between 8:30 and 9:00 each morning and promptly at 2:00 to pick up your child.  Children late being picked up will be charged $5 for every 10 minutes you are late.


Potty Training:  While it is not the responsibility of the teacher to potty-train your child, we are happy to help encourage them to use the potty.  We do require your child to wear pull-ups while at MMO.  


Absences:  We regret that refunds cannot be given for illnesses or missed days.


Birthdays:  Parents may send a special snack on their child’s birthday.  Please notify the teacher in advance.


MMO Extras:  Please note the following list of items to send each class time.  Label the personal items with your child’s name.


  • School backpack or diaper bag.
  • Spill-proof cup that can be refilled.
  • A complete change of clothing.
  • Lunch in a lunchbox.
  • Diapers or pull-ups and wipes (if needed).


Communication:  Open communication between parent and teacher is imperative for a successful school year.  Please feel free to ask questions and request to talk to the teacher at any time.
