Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to get the below question answered but have not received a response from the accreditation support e-mail in over 2 weeks and am hoping someone on here may be able to help:
We are filling out class profiles for our accreditation application. Our preschool through Kindergarten classes end their day at 3:30, however there is an optional after school care from 3:30 until 6 pm. During this time, children from both preschool classes join one group. Does this count as a combined class since it is for more than 2 hours, but it is not considered part of the academic day?
For the staff that monitor the children from 3:30-6, do we also need to make them profiles?
When it asks about the program day, we have infant toddlers from 7am to 6pm but preschool through kindergarten are here from 8am-3:30 with the option of after school care until 6pm. How should we reflect this in our site profile?
Thank you so much for any and all advice :)
