There are various options to consider when deciding which scheduling contract best meets your needs.  We offer full-time as well as part time care.  We also accommodate set schedules as well as rotating schedules.

Set Schedules

• A set schedule would be for those who are in need of the same days, each and every week.

• Discovery does have a 2 day minimum attendance requirement.

• "Add-on" days are available for occasions when you are in need of care outside of their regularly scheduled days.  In such instances, you will be required to pay the drop in rate in addition to your contracted days.  Unfortunately, "switching" days is not permitted.

• Please document any changes to your schedule using the schedule boards.  There is a schedule board located at the entrance of the infant building, as well as at the south end entrance of the barn.

• For those with set schedules, you are not required to submit a weekly schedule.  We will always plan your child on their contracted days
• If you are ever needing an add-on day, please document it on this board by writing "ADD" on the day in need.
• Should you know in advance that your child will be absent for any reason, please document this by writing "OUT" on those days.  It is extremely helpful if we know someone will be absent should another family want to utilize an add-on day.
• The schedule boards typically have the upcoming 5-6 weeks worth of schedules prepared.  Please be sure to confirm the date at the top to be sure you are making your schedule requests and/or changes on the appropriate week each time you fill it out.
• If you ever need to modify a submitted schedule, please go to the next line on the sheet and rewrite your entry entirely on a new line and state "REVISED".  Please do not go back to previous documentation to make any changes.  

• Never give a verbal schedule to a staff member.  It is our policy that all schedules are submitted in writing as to alleviate any miscommunication.

Rotating Schedules

• Rotating schedules are available as well.  You can choose either a 2 or 3 day contract, and this will allow you to alter your days from week to week.  The daily rate for a rotating schedule is higher than that of a set schedule, however it does provide the luxury of Monday-Friday availability while also not paying for every day. 

• All rotating schedules are to be submitted in writing no later than 6:00 pm Thursday for the following week.  If we do not receive a schedule by this deadline, you will be charged for the entire week.  Schedules can be submitted in a various ways:  

• You can utilize the schedule boards.  There is one located at the entrance of the infant building, as well as one at the south end entrance of the barn.

• ​The schedule boards typically have the upcoming 5-6 weeks worth of schedules prepared.  Please be sure to confirm the date at the top to be sure you are making your schedule requests and/or changes on the appropriate week each time you fill it out.
• If you ever need to modify a submitted schedule, please go to the next line on the sheet and rewrite your entry entirely on a new line and state "REVISED".  Please do not go back to previous documentation to make any changes.  

• You can submit a monthly printout if you find that to be more convenient.  Be sure to keep in mind that the last day of the month may come mid-week and to make sure you bring in the following months printout before the current one expires!
