Illness Policy
We follow the policies of local public schools. If your child has a fever they should be fever free (without fever reducing medication) before returning to playschool. If your child vomits or has diarrhea they may return 24 hours after vomiting or diarrhea subsides.
We understand that children get colds. As long as your child is fever free and and up to playing, they should come to playschool. The risk of spreading germs is significantly lower in our outdoor setting.
If someone in the family tests positive for COVID your child may come to playschool as long as they do not have symptoms.
Weather Policy
We strongly believe that there is no bad weather, only poor gear choices, in that spirit Wonder Tree Playschool will be held rain or shine. We will however cancel for dangerous weather. We use guidelines put out by the states of Wisconsin and Iowa to guide our decision making when the weather is cold. We also carefully track lightning during storms and will take shelter when lightning strikes within 5 miles.
*In the event that we need to cancel our group due to dangerous weather, which may include dangerously high winds, extreme temperatures, electrical storms or other unforeseen obstacles we will alert you by 8am that morning.
**In the event that playschool cancels more than twice in a section, ie more than twice for our M/W group and T/Th we will hold a make-up session for the third cancellation. Wonder Tree Playschool reserves the right to either add a week to a session, make it up at the end of the year or on an alternate date or time, i.e. afternoons, Fridays or Saturdays.
Refund Policy
We strive to ensure that all children and families are supported in our program. If after the first week you feel like this program does not meet the needs of your child, a refund for the remainder of the season minus the materials fee will be issued. Refunds must be requested in writing no later than the Friday of the first week of your selected session.
