Holidays
We are closed on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day (Wed., Thur. & Fri.) and Winter and Spring Break. When a traditional holiday falls on a weekend, we observe the holiday in accordance with the national Monday Holiday Bill. Because our tuition is set on an annual basis, there is no reduction in tuition for holidays.
Birthday Celebrations
We have a special way of celebration Birthday at Cypress Creek Montessori. It is much different than a traditional American Birthday; it is much more conducive to the classroom environment. Please do not bring birthday cake but please do participate in our Montessori Birtyday celebration.
Medication Policy
Each day that a child is required to take medication at the center, parents must complete a "Medication Authorization Form" in the office. The medication must be kept in its original container and the following information must be clearly stated: the child' name, doctor's name, prescribed dosage, and date. Please leave a medication spoon with your child's name on it. We cannot administrator over the counter medications to children under 2 years old without a signed doctor's statement with the child'name and dosage. This will be ketp in the child's permanent file. The school will only apply insect repellent if the parent signs a waiver and sings up for it on the medication form. Please do not leave any type of medicine in your child's bag.
