The safety of your child is our number one concern. We know that it is your number one concern as well. The following procedures are a few ways that we can work together as a team to ensure the safety of your child:

Sign In and Sign Out

In accordance with requirements of the state of Maryland, you must sign your child out each day. We will take attendance at the beginning of every day. When you come to pick up your child, please initial and indicate the time you pick them up at the designated location within your center. Having a record of your child's arrival and departure is an important tool for accountability in an emergency situation. We would appreciate your cooperation in providing this information.

Arrival and Pickup

Global Enrichment is not responsible for students before and after the day's activity session. Students must be picked up by 6:00 p.m., or 5:00pm on early release days.
A late fee of $2 per minute will be charged for students remaining after program closure, 6:00pm on normal school days or 5:00pm on early release days.
Any owed late fee must be paid by the following day.
Students will only be permitted to be picked up by persons authorized to do so as noted on the registration form.

Persons Authorized to Pick Up Child

You will be asked to list those who are authorized by you to pick up your child from our center. If someone other than your child's parents or legal guardian will be picking up your child, please have them come prepared to show a picture ID. Your child will not be released to someone not listed as an authorized person to pick up your child. If there is an emergency, and someone other than those authorized will be picking up your child, you must call the center and inform a Global Enrichment team member prior to their arrival.

For the safety of your child, please let us know if there are issues pertaining to the legal custody of your child.

Absences from Global Enrichment

If your child will not be attending Global Enrichment on one of his/her regularly scheduled days, please inform your center before your child is expected to be there. This will eliminate the need for our team members to check with the school staff to find out whether or not your child was at school that day. If we are ever unsure of your child's location we will contact the parent/guardian whose contact information was provided on the registration form.
Please note that Global Enrichment does not pro-rate tuition and/or give credits for any student absences during the year.

Please keep your child home if he/she is sick. Global Enrichment follows the same guidelines for illness as the Montgomery County Public School system. Please do not send your child to Global Enrichment if he/she has any of the following symptoms:

• A fever of more than 100 degrees
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Rash or infection of the skin
• Red or pink eyes (Conjunctivitis)
• Head lice

This list is not all-inclusive. Please be courteous and thoughtful of the other children and staff at the center if he/she is sick. If your child complains of being sick, or doesn't look well after he/she is comes at Global Enrichment, we will contact you and ask you to come pick him/her up immediately.

Emergency Cards

You will be asked to fill out an Emergency Card for each of your children enrolled in our program (even those children who only attend on a Drop-In basis). Please make sure that the information on this card is kept up-to-date. It will be the first place we look to locate you in case of an emergency, so make sure that it is accurate!
Medication will not be administered to a student by a Global Enrichment staff member. This includes antibacterial medication for cuts. If a student experiences a minor cut, staff will wash out the wound with soap and water and apply a Band-Aid. If medication is needed, parents/guardians need to notify the school nurse for administrating, instructions during school hours..

Child Abuse

All Global Enrichment team members are instructed to report suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to the police or the Department of Social Services.

Tutoring Time

Global Enrichment will schedule a tutoring period of 50 minutes Monday through Wednesday. Our staff will ensure that the atmosphere is quiet and comfortable to help the children focus on their educational needs. The children are organized into smaller groups during tutoring time to help increase individual help. Parents will be updated daily on student's progress. Parents may communicate with Global Enrichment staff on particular French skills and any other subject they feel they may need more attention to.

Discipline

At Global Enrichment is necessary for the safety and well being of all the children, and to ensure a healthy environment within Global Enrichment. Behavior and discipline guidelines are established so that the children know what is expected of them and to ensure consistency of treatment. Our Discipline Policy is as follows:

First Incident (First Strike) - A verbal warning is issued to the child and appropriate behavior options are discussed. The child is reminded of the consequences that will follow if bad behavior continues. Second Incident (Second Strike) - A time-out is given to the child and the behavior is discussed. Staff members will spend some time talking with the child to make sure that appropriate behavior choices are again reviewed. The child is again reminded of the consequences if the behavior continues. Third Incident (Third Strike) - Parents are contacted to be made aware of the situation and to speak with their child over the telephone. Staff will discuss with the parent the need to come and pick up their child early from the program if bad behavior continues. The child is also reminded of the next consequence and appropriate behavior choices are reviewed. Fourth Incident - Parents are contacted to come to the center to pick up their child for the remainder of the day. Staff will discuss better options of behavior for the following day with the child and the parent upon their arrival.

Fighting/Bullying Policy

Discharging a Child from Global Enrichment

When, despite our collective best efforts, we are unable to change a child's inappropriate behavior and that child's behavior jeopardizes the safety and well being of other children in the program, we may find it necessary to remove the child from the program. Removal may take the form of suspension or dismissal. Before such action is decided will discuss the situation at length with the parents.

Our Staff

Background Checks

Each staff member is required to go through a background check before working at one of our programs. Consequently, each staff member must submit fingerprints to both the State of Maryland and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Global Enrichment is then notified, in writing, of the results.

First Aid/CPR/Emergency Preparedness Requirements

The State of Maryland and Montgomery County require that for every 20 children we provide a staff member who is first aid/CPR certified. Global Enrichment requires and provides first aid/CPR training to all Directors, regardless of whether or not we surpass ratios. The State of Maryland and Montgomery County require Global Enrichment to create a preparedness plan in case of an emergency. In addition we are required to train all of our staff members on these procedures.

Emergency Policy

We have an extensive orientation at the beginning of the school year when our team of staff is trained on Global Enrichment policies, procedures, etiquette, etc. They are also given another brief orientation about important information on the location of phone numbers, fire drill meeting locations, attendance procedures and any other information that is site-specific. Along with these orientations, there are monthly staff meetings to keep them updated and informed.

Children With Special Needs

Global Enrichment protocol for enrolling children with special needs is done on an individual basis. We evaluate each child's condition together with the family and jointly determine whether or not we will be able to appropriately accommodate the child's needs. We take into account the child's safety as well as the well being of the program. Additionally we must evaluate how the child could affect the daily activities at the center.

Open Door Policy

At Global Enrichment we pride ourselves on running awesome programs that our children, parents, schools and staff are excited about and proud of! We always welcome family input. If you have any suggestions regarding an interesting club or ways we can improve, please don't hesitate to share your thoughts with us.

If you need to make a change to your child's enrollment plan, please contact our your coordinator. No changes are confirmed and/or effective until our your coordinator has approved the change.

Withdrawal

A thirty (30) days written notice is required if I plan to withdraw my/our child. Tuition for the 30 days following the date of notice is required. It is the responsibility of the parent/gaurdian to notify Global Enrichment program by submitting a written notice to Global Enrichment or by sending an email to Globalenrichmentinfo@gmail.com. The 30 days will be calculated from the date the notice is received.

Your tuition payments secure your child's enrollment in our program. Days missed due to illness, vacation, etc. will not be credited. If tuition payments are late there will be a late fee assessed. If tuition is not paid in full (including late fees) by the first day of each month, your child will not be allowed to attend Global Enrichment, and you risk losing his/her space.
