that the holiday will be observed (i.e., if Christmas Day falls on Saturday, the center will be closed on Friday; if
Christmas Day falls on Sunday, the center will be closed on Monday). In order to ensure that quality child care
is consistently available, there is no credit available for holiday closings. Therefore, a full week’s tuition is
charged regardless of holiday closings.
CHECK-IN TIME
In order to provide necessary meals and snacks, it is required that any child enrolled at Little Learners Academy
be present at the center by 8:00 a.m. each morning that the center is open. If your child cannot be present by
9:00 a.m., it is required that the parents either notify the Director, Assistant Director, or the person in charge of
the center at the time by either a telephone call prior to 9:00 a.m. that morning, or a personal conversation at
least one day in advance.
LATE PICK-UP

after 6:30 p.m. There is a $10.00 minimum charge per offense. If there are three occurrences, a meeting will be
scheduled and child services may be cancelled.
VACATION WEEK
After any child is enrolled at Little Learners Academy for one (1) year, we will honor one (1) week FREE
vacation tuition. This one (1) week FREE vacation tuition will be honored once a year and your child will be

(2) weeks prior to the vacation.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
There will be times when inclement weather occurs and appropriate measures must be taken. Any closings or
delays of opening of Little Learners Academy will be announced by WSB radio (750 AM), WSB-TV (Channel
2), FOX 5, 11Alive, and CBS. Please pay specific attention to this location and not other Little Learners
locations, since this location is individually owned and operated. If another center is closed, it does not mean
that this location will be closed. If the local County School System reports that they will be closed then the
Georgia Pre-K Program will also be closed for the day at Little Learners Academy. However, Little Learners
Academy may not be closed for the normal child care programs, so services may be provided for that day.
Please stay tuned to all major news channels for more information on the delay or closing of the school. If you
do not see Little Learners Academy listed then we will be open for normal business hours, except for the
Georgia Pre-K program, which always follows the local County School System for closings or delays. If the
weather becomes hazardous during the business day, Little Learners Academy will go to the selected public
schools to pick up your child and return that child to the center. In the event of severe weather, we have
procedures in place. All children are kept as calm as possible. We will be tuned to the television and radio in an
effort to know what to expect. If a warning is called for in our area, we will place children in the drill position
under the tables or in the hallway.
STATE REQUIRED INFORMATION
When your child is enrolled at the center, you must furnish us with as much information as possible on your
child. While your child is enrolled, we will need to be notified of any changes in employment or address
information. This is the parent’s responsibility and can affect how we are able to reach you in the event of any
emergency. Any time your child will be absent from the center or arrives after 9:00 a.m., please notify us as
soon as possible. All children must be escorted to and from the building by the parent, or person authorized by
the parent, or the center’s personnel. When you bring your child to the center, it is your responsibility to deliver
your child to their classroom and clock-in at the front desk. Your child must be clocked-out at the front desk at
the end of the day. If someone else will be picking up your child, please advise the Director or Assistant
Director. Your child will not be released without a signed authorization form. Please do not drop off your child
in the parking lot and let them run into the center. These are state regulations.

from Little Learners Academy for any reason. If a written fourteen (14) day notice is not given, then two
weeks of tuition will be due. Little Learners Academy uses a collection agency to handle all delinquent
accounts. No specials or benefits can be used during the 14 day withdrawal notice. If you withdraw your child
then re-enroll, a registration fee will be charged. The new anniversary date will be the date of re-enrollment.
Any benefits will be based upon the new re-enrolled anniversary date. Withdrawing from the center will forfeit
any benefits or specials. Numerous withdrawals from the school will result in future non-acceptance of
enrollment.

the policies and guidelines. Parents are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner when entering
the center and disorderly conduct will not be accepted on the premises. Any offense violated under the centers

REFERRALS
When you refer a qualified child to Little Learners Academy, you will get a 50% discount off one week of your
oldest child’s tuition. A qualified child is one that has already enrolled and paid for their registration fees and the
first week’s tuition for each child.
NON ATTENDANCE POLICY

50% off weeks for non-attendance each anniversary year. This 50% discount will be honored up to two (2) times
each anniversary year. Each anniversary year is defined as your child’s anniversary date. In order to use the
50% off discount for the week, your child must be absent the entire week that you wish to use the
discount. Use of one or more of the 50% discount voids the use of the FREE vacation week. You must decide
ahead of time which discount special you would like to enroll in. Specials cannot be combined. Attendance of
one or more days will be charged the full tuition rate.
CURRICULUM
Our curriculum meets the highest standards in the industry, for its developmental age continuum from infancy
through pre-k. Our children get the advantage of growing up with familiar faces, and a program that stays with
them as they move into older age groups. Our activities are designed to foster children’s self esteem and develop
their social, cognitive, and motor skills. The staff works hard everyday to make sure your tuition is being used
for learning, so your child will excel through their future years in school. Please see the accompanying inserts
for more information on the curriculum.
DISCIPLINE
Here at Little Learners Academy, an atmosphere of respect is preserved between the adults and children and
between the children themselves. Children are seen as unique individuals and a caregiver’s role is to assist each
child in reaching their full potential by helping children learn self-control and self-discipline as well as creating
and enforcing age appropriate boundaries, etc.
At Little Learners Academy parents are encouraged to visit the center and their children whenever the child is in
attendance. We will be glad to discuss any concerns you may have with your child. Conferences will need to be
arranged with the Director in advance.
Our staff does not use corporal, physical punishment or timeouts. We will not allow any staff member to shake,
jerk, pinch or handle roughly any child at the center. No staff member will verbally abuse or humiliate a child,
who includes the use of threats, profanity or belittling remarks about a child or his/her family. If, for any reason,
an employee of Little Learners Academy is found doing any of these items or any other item that violates the
law, they will be dismissed and reported to the appropriate authorities.
Little Learners Academy will use a positive discipline policy. The following procedures will be followed:
1. Verbal Warning / Re-Direction.
2. Removal from activity / Time Out.
3. Individual counseling / Emotional Safety.
4. Child sent to the front desk and parents notified immediately.
Page 4

5. Removal from the center.
All children are expected to follow the rules established by Little Learners Academy. We reserve the right to
dismiss your child from our program if the above measures fail.
CHILD ABUSE
Little Learners Academy is required by law to report any suspected child abuse, child neglect, exploitation or
deprivation to the Department of Family and Children’s Services.
MEALS
Little Learners Academy knows how important good nutrition is for a child’s physical and mental growth. Little
Learners Academy will furnish a morning snack, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Please see your center for meal
times. Mealtime is a pleasant part of each day for children, where social skills are supported in a caring
environment. While the caregiver is responsible for deciding what will be served, and where it will be served,
the child has the responsibility to decide how much they will eat. No child is forced to eat and no child is denied
food as a method of discipline. Parents are discouraged from providing any foods without prior discussion with
the Director. Food exceptions will be only for those with allergies or a special diet prescribed by a physician.
Weekly menus are posted in advance in the center.
BITING POLICY
If your child bites a child, we will notify you and the parent of the child that was bitten. If your child continues
to bite, we will ask you to come to the center to observe your child’s behavior. If the biting does not stop then
the center has no choice but to suspend your child from the center. The well being of the class is Little Learners
Academy’s responsibility.
SEPARATION ANXIETY
The staff at Little Learners Academy welcomes your child with open arms. We will work with you and your
child to help with “separation anxiety”. We will try as many ways as we know to help your child feel
comfortable.
SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN
If your child has any special needs, please notify the Director at enrollment. The Director must be notified at
enrollment in order to make any special accommodations. Little Learners Academy, as a childcare, provides for
special needs children whenever possible. However, Little Learners Academy operates under the laws for public
childcare. Please see the Director with any questions you might have. Please bring a written statement from the
child’s physician that states the needs and the care instructions for the child. If your child has been assessed by a
Private or Government Agency for special needs children, you must supply Little Learners Academy a copy of
the assessment at the time of enrollment. If you fail to disclose pertinent information about your child, it could
void the special accommodations section.
IMMUNIZATIONS
Verification certificates are required upon enrollment at Little Learners Academy. Parents have thirty (30) days
Page 5
Marietta (770) 333-5551
Gainesville (770) 297-5044
to bring the certificate to the center, after the deadline your child will not be allowed into the center. This is a
state requirement and is strictly enforced. Each time your child is immunized, request Health Department form
3231 from your physician and give it to the Director.
INFANT CARE (AGES 6 WEEKS - POTTY TRAINED)
Little Learners Academy provides infant care. All parents are required to bring all bottles with formula and baby
food on a daily basis. All bottles and baby food must be labeled with the child’s name and the current date. All
parents are required to update any information on their child, as it becomes necessary. All leftover formula and
baby food will be returned each day. Parents must provide at least eight (8) diapers per day. It is also requested
that parents supply a box of wipes and refills when needed. If diapers and wipes are not supplied, parents will be
charged $2.00 per diaper and $10.00 per week for wipes. Pacifiers are to be marked with the child’s name or
initials. We provide each infant with a bed, and state approved sheets. As per state law no infant is allowed
certain type of blankets inside the crib, please see the center Director for more information. Please provide your
child with a daily change of clothing. Please mark any personal item of the child’s that is brought to the center
with his/her name.
CHILD ILLNESS
In order to provide the kind of environment that supports good health, this child care program recognizes the
critical importance of having healthy and happy children in attendance. Children have regular opportunities for
exposure to fresh air, experiences with age-appropriate activities that support development, regular rest and
active periods. Sanitary procedures are followed for cleaning toys, material, equipment and furniture and a
regular schedule for cleaning is maintained. Immunization records are updated on a routine basis and daily
health checks are done to insure that children in attendance are up to the task of having a wonderful day.
If a child’s temperature reaches 101° or higher, we ask that you come and pick up your child because we cannot
keep children who could be contagious to others. Your child must be fever free for 24 hours prior to re-entering
the center. If your child has contagious symptoms such as: rashes, diarrhea, coughing, runny nose or sore throat,
etc., he/she will not be accepted into the center. You will be notified immediately if your child exhibits these
symptoms during the day while at the center. The health and well-being of your child is of primary importance
to this program.
MEDICATION
Medication will not be given without proper written authorization and instructions from the child’s parent or
legal guardian. Authorization forms will be provided in the front office of the center. Medicine should be
provided in the original container with the child’s name listed on the label. If the medicine is for more than one
in the family, it should state their names separately on the bottle. Parents must hand the medicine to the Director
or Assistant Director. We cannot hold medicines in the center “as needed”. State requirements are very strict on
this issue. Medication times are only at 11:00 a.m. If we notice any type of adverse reaction to any type of
medication your child may be taking or has any type of allergic reaction to food or bee stings, you will be
notified immediately so that you can contact your child’s physician’s office.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
Page 6
Marietta (770) 333-5551
Gainesville (770) 297-5044
It is the parent’s responsibility to inform the Director of a communicable disease to which your child may have
been exposed. If your child is exposed to a communicable disease, we will notify the appropriate parents and
take proper action within the center. Chicken Pox is a common childhood disease. If your child is presenting
symptoms of illness, please respect others and do not bring your child to the center as this spreads illness. The
only way to keep your child healthy is to avoid the spread of illness. The most common childcare germs are
spread through mucus of the nose. If your child has a dark green drainage and is not on an antibiotic, he/she
would be considered contagious to the spread of germs. Remember that children are in a sharing environment
and the well being of the children is our concern.
A chart of communicable diseases is posted on the bulletin board at the front of the center. The State of Georgia
recommends that Little Learners Academy follow this chart for the safety of all children.
SMOKING
Little Learners Academy is a smoke free environment. There is a no smoking policy in the building or on the
grounds. We ask that all parents and visitors also observe this policy.
POSTED FOR VIEWING
Little Learners Academy has posted for public viewing the following: State License, copy of rules, review or
evaluation report, communicable disease chart, statement of parental access, names of persons in charge, current
weekly menus, and emergency plan for severe weather and fire, and statement for visitors.
POLICY FOR PICKUP
The Director must be notified when someone other than the parent or legal guardian will be picking up any
child. The child will only be released to that person with proper identification, such as a valid driver’s license or
state ID. The office staff is required to make a copy of the identification each time the child is picked up by
someone other than a parent or legal guardian. Checkout procedures for new guests could exceed 5 minutes due
to the security parameters in place. If you have any concerns, please see the Director.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
All procedures relating to an emergency, such as severe weather, fire and physical plant problems, such as
power failure, that affects climate control or structural damage has been developed. In the event of a fire,
children will be evacuated from the building and parents notified immediately. Fire and tornado drills will be
held on a regular basis. All emergency procedures are posted in each room and at the front of the center for
parent viewing. Parents will be notified as soon as possible if an emergency occurs at the center. Sign posted in
lobby area for more information.
TRANSPORTATION
Little Learners Academy will provide transportation from school and also planned field trips. Parents must sign
a permission slip for every field trip. A school transportation form must be signed at the time you enroll your
child. If your child is transported to or from school, we will not leave children at a drop off site without proper
supervision. In the event that no one is at the drop off site, the driver will take the child to the center.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL PLAN
Page 7
Marietta (770) 333-5551
Gainesville (770) 297-5044
The staff will administer first aid for minor injuries and CPR if necessary. If your child receives a serious injury
or illness, the following plan will be followed: Contact Parents, Contact Emergency Contact if parent cannot be
reached, Call local EMS (Emergency Medical Service), and transport the child to the nearest hospital that
provides emergency medical care. Parents are responsible for any costs incurred for emergency care, unless
covered under the accident policy.
DISCOUNTS
Little Learners Academy will give certain discounts from time to time to new enrolled children. These specials
are only given at the time of enrollment. Discounts are not retroactive, (i.e. if a child enrolled on March 1, 2006
and a new special started on April 1, 2006, this account will not be eligible). Currently enrolled children are not
eligible for any tuition specials after their enrollment date. However, Little Learners Academy may issue at its
discretion, specific discounts to any account.
OBJECTIVES
Little Learners Academy Academy’s objective is to help each child develop their self-esteem by growing in
trust, independence, and teaching them about choices. The staff will aid each child in maturing in expression of
emotional reaction thus helping them to learn to cope with anger, disappointment, and other emotions. We will
enjoy creative expression through art, music, and other play activities. Your child will develop physically by
using large muscles through movement, activities indoors and outdoors, and using small muscles through art,
puzzles, blocks, writing and home-living activities. By working and playing with friends of the same age, your
child will learn how to develop attitudes of kindness, cooperation, courtesy, and helpfulness towards others.
DISCRIMINATION POLICY
Little Learners of Atlanta provides the same services to all enrolled children without regard to race, color,
national origin, sex, age, or disability.
ACCIDENTAL INJURY INSURANCE POLICY
Little Learners of Atlanta provides for an accidental injury insurance policy for all children enrolled in the
school. Injuries can happen under any possible circumstance, such as falling off the playground equipment,
jumping out of the swings, or falling while playing outside or inside. If your child sustains an injury while
enrolled, regardless of the nature, please provide any claim paperwork that was filed to your personal health
insurance to us as soon as possible. We will file a claim for any out of pocket costs that have been occurred to
you for an injury that was sustained while your child was enrolled during normal business hours of operation.
This policy is provided at no additional costs to you as a courtesy of Little Learners Academy, and was included
in your registration fee at the time of enrollment. This is not primary insurance, so please submit all claims
through your primary health insurance carrier and any out of pocket costs above which was not paid from the
