School Closings
If we need to close Kiddie City due to weather, it will be posted on FOX 8 news. It will be posted as Kiddie City Child Care Community. We are not always closed if Euclid City Schools are closed, but will be closed or delayed if our staff cannot safely get to the center. You can receive free text alerts from FOX 8 for up to the minute closing information. Register for free alerts at www.fox8.com.
Payment Reminder
Self pay and weekly co-pay payments are due each Friday for the upcoming week. Payments are considered late if they are not received by Monday. On Tuesday morning of each week late fees will be applied to any unpaid balances. Monthly co-pays are due the first business day of the month. They are considered late if they are not paid by the 5th of the month. If your account falls more than one payment behind your child will not be able to attend until the account is current and your child’s spot will not be guaranteed to be held. We do have a waiting list for the center and have turned away many families over the past few months. We cannot afford to continue to serve you and your child if you do not make timely payments.Payment Reminder:Self pay and weekly co-pay payments are due each Friday for the upcoming week.

Attendance/Food Service Reminders
Kiddie City is not a drop off babysitting service. At Kiddie City we strive to get all children ready for Kindergarten and beyond. Even in the infant classes we are planning lessons and activities to lay the foundation for your child’s future education. For your child to fully benefit from the program they need to be regular in attendance. Your child must arrive at Kiddie City by 9:00am so that they can fully benefit from the programing. If children are not here there is a chance that we may send staff members home. Breakfast is served until 8:45am in Baby 2 through Preschool. If you child arrives after 8:45am please be sure that they have already had breakfast.
Please make sure you sign your child in and out daily.
