frequently asked questions
What do I do if my child needs medicine while at school?
In order for the Early Education to give medication, the prescription must be in the original prescription bottle. Non-prescription medications are acceptable only if the doctor attaches a prescription to the bottle. The parent must fill out the form (one for each medication) in the medicine log.
What do I do if my child will be absent from school?
Please call the office at 252-2482 before 8:15 A.M. If your child is not in the center when attendance is taken at 8:30 A.M., a lunch will not be ordered.
How do I receive receipts and statement information?
Your child’s name should be in the memo line of your check. It will be possible for you to view your account online, and if you need receipts for flex, etc., please make a note under your child’s name in the memo space.
Where do I get information about school closings?
Closing of DMCS due to inclement weather will be announced on the following stations any time after 6:00 A.M. If DMCS is closed, Early Education is automatically closed.

What are your hours of operation?
I understand Des Moines Christian Early Education is in operation five days per week exclusive of holidays from 6:30 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. (5:30 P.M. during the summer). Children arriving at the center before 6:30 A.M. or remaining at the center after 6:00 P.M. (5:30 P.M. summer) will be charged a fee of $5.00 per child for every 5 minutes. This fee must be paid in cash to the staff member on duty that same evening. The center will not be open for the following paid days: New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and the day after Thanksgiving. If DMCS is closed due to inclement weather, Early Education is closed and the fee is not reduced.
What about vacations?
The center will be closed one week during the Christmas break (date to be announced). All full time child care parents are allowed to have one additional week out of the center for vacation at no cost. This must be taken Monday through Friday in the same week. Any other time out of the center must be paid in full.
What do I do if any of my personal information changes?
I will notify Des Moines Christian Early Education IMMEDIATELY of any change in address, jobs, phone numbers, marital status, or desire to withdraw the child for any reason, etc. If two weeks advanced notice is not given to the Director, parents must pay for the next two weeks.
