I took a tour and would like to move forward with enrollment. What now?
We are excited for you to join our Compass family! You will need to reach out to the Director of your preferred center or our Enrollment Specialist, who may have given you a tour. They will then...
- Set your kiddo up in Brightwheel (the daily app we use).
- Invoice you the $100 enrollment fee.
- Send you paperwork to complete before your start date.
- Confirm a start date.
- Plan a date to stop by, meet teachers and drop off belongings.
Do you offer part-time care?
Yes! We believe that learning at home is one of the best ways for children to grow. Your family may not need a full-time schedule, if that's the case, a part-time schedule may be perfect for you. Part-time schedules are consistent and follow the same schedule week after week. You may choose from our half-day program (4 hours or less with your departure time preceding naptime) or pick which days of the week your child will attend full days (2-3 days/ week.) Two, half days, would be considered the least amount of time we would accommodate for a part-time schedule.
*Part-time schedules are limited in our infant programs due to high demand and limited spots.

How does drop-in care work?
Group care may not be the right fit for your family but sometimes caregivers are ill, take vacations or need help so that they can go to an appointment or meeting. If this feels familiar to you, you can rest assured that Compass may be able to help out. This option allows you to call or email the center and ask for care on a day you just need to drop-in. We do need a completed file for your child in order to care for them, which means a little planning is needed to get started.
Once we have your completed paperwork, you can reach out and inquire about an available spot. We may be able to help with very little notice given but the best way to ensure your drop-in spot would be to call with as much notice as possible. We've been able to help families whose in-home daycare provider has taken a maternity leave or when a stay at home/ work from home parent needs to get to a meeting. We will always work our hardest to meet your need.

Do you accomodate students with special needs?
Compass Child Care has a heart for all children. We have the goal to be as inclusive as possible. Meaning we want children of all abilities to join our family. At Compass we are a group care based center and maintain ratios that may not be able to care for children who need more one on one care. In order for families and Compass to see if we're a good fit for each other we would love to extend a trial period. We love to partner with parents, teachers, therapists and IEPs to provide consistent care for your child. We are not always the right fit but we would love to work with you to see if we are.
Where can I find a copy of a Health Summary?
