Frequently Asked Questions

We are open for classes Monday through Friday.

Yes, we have an open door policy at MARC. You are welcome to visit the classroom anytime your child is in attendance, but please avoid visiting during rest time as much as possible. We also welcome parents to call anytime. If we cannot answer your phone call, please leave a message with the receptionist, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Yes, we believe open communication between home and school is important. We will maintain an open stream of communication with you regarding your child and issues surrounding your child by means of daily discussion when necessary. We ask that you explain how you expect us to care for your child clearly and carefully. Also, please provide updates on any problems and progress your child is making. Good communication helps us work together in your child’s best interest.

We would like to ensure that there is constant communication between the program and the parents. We have a couple of ways to get the message across.

Yes, we appreciate opportunities to enhance the learning that takes place at MARC. All of our field trips are age-appropriate. We occasionally go on field trips by school bus or on foot away from the premises of school. We’ll be sure to talk to you about it in advance so you can sign the required consent form. If we don’t have your permission, your child will not be able to attend the activity, but we’ll take good care of him/her at the school. We welcome parent participation on our field trips, so please let your child’s teacher know if you’d like to go.

You must call MARC to let us know if your child will be absent. If your child is ill and absent for more than three consecutive days, we require a doctor’s note to allow the student back into the program. If you will be taking a vacation, please provide a written notice one to two weeks before leaving; indicate when the child will be leaving, how long your child will be away, and when he/she will be returning.
