Food
King Street will provide breakfast and lunch for students everyday. Families may provide food for their children to eat at mealtimes if they would like. We ask that food that is brought in is only eaten by the child that brought it. Staff may ask for food brought from home to be put away if it is distracting or otherwise making the child's day less successful.
We will also be doing cooking projects almost every day this summer.
Allergies
Be aware we have children with allergies to peanuts and kiwi. Please do not send foods containing peanuts or kiwi.
Swimming
Each classroom will go swimming at the YMCA once per week. All swimming activities will have a lifeguard on site. We will also have water games at King Street once per week. These schedules will be sent home at the beginning of summer. Please send children with a swimsuit and change of clothes and towels on those days if possible. We have extra swimsuits and towels available if needed but do not have enough for everyone.
Youth & Parent Expectations:
Parents: We ask that you please do your best to be punctual with pick ups and drop offs. Please let us know if you will be picking up early.
Parents:
Be on time. Drop off is between 8:00-8:30 AM. Pick up is between 2:30-3:00 PM for regular program and 4:30-5:00 PM for aftercare.
Let us know in advance if you need a specific pick-up time
If drop off or pickup happens after the designated time families will be given a late slip. When families have been given 3 late slips in a month they will be asked to meet with Hawa to discuss how we can support drop off and pick up happening on time.
Youth:
Be open to new experiences
Come ready to play and learn
Prepare to walk and explore Burlington
Take care of your bodies by eating and drinking water
Show respect for yourself, your peers, and your teachers. Youth who receive repeated reminders from teachers about the same behavior will be given a reminder slip. If youth receive 3 reminder slips in 3 days they will be asked to meet with Hawa and their parents to review program expectations.
