Children are dressed appropriately for all weather conditions to ensure their participation in indoor and outdoor activities. We do not go outdoors during excessively hot (above 90ºF), cold (below 20ºF), or inclement weather. Our closure policy aligns with the Poudre School District (PSD) closures, delayed starts, and early releases.
We kindly ask parents to dress their child appropriately for hands-on activities and outdoor exploration. Cubbies are provided for storing belongings; however, Curious Minds Early Learning Center is not responsible for items left in cubbies. Please refrain from bringing toys, money, or other valuables from home whenever possible.
Children will be provided with breakfast, lunch, morning, and afternoon snacks. Outside food is not permitted, except in cases of severe allergies. Our school is nut and peanut-free to ensure the safety of all children. Please ensure your child is free of peanut and nut residue before coming to class.
Parents may bring store-bought birthday treats for celebrations. Alternatively, you may provide a box of acceptable treats to be used throughout the year. Homemade treats are not permitted per Colorado Health Department policy.
We support children in their toilet training journey and provide respectful, safe, and healthy diaper changes when needed. Please provide a backpack with pull-ups or diapers, wipes, ointment, and spare clothes. Ensure your child uses the bathroom before entering class, and inform the teacher if your child requires frequent bathroom breaks.
Parent conferences are held each semester but can be scheduled as needed. Our staff is always available to discuss your child’s progress or any concerns you may have.
We strive to support every child’s needs, but if a child’s behavior endangers themselves or others, we may disenroll them from our program. Assaultive behavior is not tolerated and will result in immediate expulsion.
Illness or Injury:
