Mom's Morning Out Handbook

Our program is for children ages 1 (and walking) - age 4. We offer a two-day program, on Tuesday and Thursday, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Our teacher/child ratio is as follows:
1 & 2 year olds: 1 teacher to 6 children
3 & 4 year olds: 1 teacher to 8 children
Admission Requirements
Registration forms must be completed and returned for each child. These include an application, registration forms, and a current immunization record. Without these, your child will be unable to participate in the program.
Yearly Fees
A non-refundable fee registration fee of $30 per family is paid at the time the participants are registered. A non-refundable supply fee of $40 per child is paid before the school year begins. This supply fee is used to purchase needed supplies throughout the school year.
Tuition
Tuition is due the first day of Mom’s Morning Out each month. No refund will be made for tuition after it is made. Please remember that although all months do not have the same number of weeks, the schedule balances during the year. We cannot offer reductions in our tuition fees for absences due to illness, school delays, closures, inclement weather, holidays, or vacations. The Knollwood MMO program is a non-profit ministry and your tuition provides teacher salaries.
One child: $120 per month
Two children: $200 per month
Three children: $280 per month
Tuition may be mailed to the church, dropped off in the church office, or given to the director. If mailing, send to PO Box 846, Sylacauga, AL, 35150. Make checks payable to Knollwood Presbyterian Church for MMO. Our program will not send out monthly statements. However, reminders will be sent after 10 days. A late fee of $10 per week will apply after the 15th of the month. If you wish to withdraw your child from the program, you must give two weeks notice.
Hours & Calender
MMO will operate on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Please do not have your child to class before 7:50 a.m., as the teachers use this time to gather materials and prepare for the day. We also cannot keep children after the scheduled hours; please be prompt in picking your child up at noon. Our program will follow the same school calendar as Knollwood Christian School. Visit Mom's Morning Out for current schedule.
Signing in and out
Each day you will be required to sign your child in and out of the program. When signing in, if someone other than you will be picking up your child, please inform us at that time.
Health Policies
For the well-being of all children at MMO, please do not send your child if they are showing any signs of illness. Any child who is or appears to be ill cannot be accepted in to the classroom. A child must be free from fever, vomiting, and diarrhea for 24 hours before attending MMO. If the child is experiencing excessive coughing or runny nose (not from allergies), they should be kept home.
Discipline Procedures
Discipline will be restricted to time-out only. If a child is willfully disobeying they will be sent to time-out. Time-out will be no longer than one minute per year of the child’s age.
Snack
Each day a morning snack will be provided for your child (ex: juice box and crackers,etc.) If your child is unable to drink from a straw, please send a labeled sippy cup.This will be sent home each day for proper cleaning.
Clothing
Comfortable play clothes and shoes should be worn each day to MMO. Weather permitting we will play outside most days, so please be sure to include articles such as jackets on cold days. All children need to bring an extra change of clothes (underpants, shirt, pants, socks, etc.) to be left at the church. If your child is in diapers, please send at least 4 disposable diapers each day. You may choose to buy diapers to leave at the church.The teachers will inform you when it needs to be replenished. Any unused diapers will be returned to you or reserved for your child.
Inclement Weather
In the event of inclement or severe weather we will take your children to the basement of the church or may be required to cancel a program day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please be aware of school closings on severe weather days.
