​Can I bring treats for my child’s birthday?

Birthdays are celebrated during Together Time. We provide a birthday badge and a treat. Please do not bring anything for birthdays. If you are planning a party for your child, please send invitations directly.

​How should I dress my child for school?

Dress your child in weather appropriate clothes for play and messy activities. LABEL all clothing with the child's name – jackets, sweaters, lunch box: anything that you might want to see at home again.

​What should I bring to school?

Everyday, bring your child’s tote bag , reusable/refillable labeled water bottle, lunch (if staying), and a full change of clothes.  Please leave toys and umbrellas at home.

​What if we are not going to be at school?

​Call (925) 837-4044 if your child will not be at school. If your child has a fever or has been sick in the last 24 hrs. do not send him/her to school. See Health Policy for guidelines. Tuition credit or make-up days are not given for illnesses or vacation.

​How and When do we pay our tuition?

Tuition is due the 1st school day of each month. There is a late fee of $30 for tuition received after the 10th of each month.
You can:
  • Use our preferred payment method via Tuition Express ACH monthly payments.
  • Place a check in the box on the office counter labeled "Check, Forms...”
  • Mail you check to CLC or send via on-line bill pay through your bank.

​Can I pay with a credit card?

We are not set up to receive credit card payments, but we can receive payments via on-line bill pay through your bank.

​Can we drop in for Lunch?

You may sign up for Lunch Bunch with your child's monthly schedule, or we occasionally have space for drop-in lunch for children in the morning program only. Sign-up by calling the office. Morning children staying for lunch should be picked-up at 12:20 – 12:40 p.m. 

​What’s for lunch?

Pack your child’s lunch with healthy, reasonable amounts of food. We encourage children to eat their "growing foods” first, but won’t make them eat everything you send. We encourage socializing with each other and teachers, along with eating.  Please do not send sodas or candy. Uneaten food will be sent back home, if possible. We cannot microwave or refrigerate food. NO PEANUT BUTTER, NUTS, or items that may contain any nut products.
