ENROLLMENT PROCESS
Your First Steps to Quality Care and Education
Call and speak with Admin to schedule a tour of the facility
We will tour the center, give a brief rundown of the classroom daily schedule and answer any questions you may have
There is an enrollment application that can be completed while at the center or returned later
Once Admin has reviewed all paperwork we will meet again to discuss any concerns, start dates, complete any additional paperwork and go over the Parent Handbook together

MEDICAL REQUIREMENTS
What We Need to Complete Enrollment
We are required by the Delaware Department of Education Office of Childcare Licensing to keep an updated physical and immunization record on file for all children enrolled. Â After your child starts kindergarten we will no longer need to have updates. Â We would prefer the physical be turned in before your child starts, however we will give 3 weeks to submit one before care will be suspended
OPEN DOOR POLICY
Parents are Always Welcome
Hand-N-Hand Early Learning Center has an Open Door Policy. Â What this means to you as a parent is; you may visit or call the center at any time to check on your child, express any concerns to administration or just to stop in for a chat!!
