Do I need to sign my child in/out?

An authorized person must always sign in/out each child at EKC. Parents are not allowed to call the site and request that their child walk home. Our policies are designed to keep your children safe; thank you for your cooperation.

Yes, you must pre-register for consolidation days; an email will be sent with a link approximately two weeks before a consolidation day throught the Playground app and email. If you sign up for a consolidation day and choose to make other arrangements for care or your child is sick, we will be unable to refund the tuition.
