MISSION STATEMENT
The Koala Kids Academy is dedicated to providing high quality childcare that offers a well balanced, fun and diverse learning atmosphere that will help each child develop their own creativity in a safe, loving environment.
ELIGIBILITY
The Academy is open to Melaleuca associate’s as well as the public’s children. Koala Kids Academy does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, or national origin. The minimum age for participation in the program is 4 weeks. Children may attend the Academy up through 6th grade. Parents interested in enrolling their children when limited space is available, will be placed on a waiting list arranged on a first-come, first-served basis according to the date interest was expressed.
PARENT VISITS AND OBSERVATIONS
Koala Kids Academy maintains an “Open Door” policy. Parents are encouraged to take an active interest in their child's care and development.
1. Parents are welcome and encouraged to visit their children. Nursing mothers are welcome to nurse their infants in the infant room whenever possible. (Generally, a private area can be arranged.)
2. If you find that your child has difficulty separating from you, as many toddlers do, you may want to limit your visits, as frequent visits may become more difficult for the child.
3. We also invite parents to observe part or all of their child's day. We feel that observation increases a parent's understanding of what we do and what your child's day is like.
4. Most children find parent visits and observations very special and exciting. However your child's behavior may vary from “normal” Academy behavior with your presence. Parents must check-in with the Academy manager or lead caregiver when observing activities. 5. Many parents have special talents or interesting jobs, which could be shared with the children. If you have ideas for field trips, or would like to volunteer to spend some time with your child and his/her friends on a special project, we'd love to have you.
If you would like to eat lunch with your child, please notify us by 9:00 a.m
