For Parents

Welcome to Growing By Leaps & Bounds, Inc.,

You, no doubt, have many questions about such things as policies, yearly calendar,
medical forms, and so forth. We have prepared this HANDBOOK to help answer such
questions. Please read it before your child attends our program and consult it as needed
throughout the time that your child is enrolled at Growing By Leaps & Bounds, Inc.

A handbook cannot anticipate all the questions that a parent might have, so feel free to
contact us (781-238-4443) if you need any further information.

The fax line is also our secondary line. If you need to send a fax to the center, please call us first so we do not pick up the secondary line and miss your fax. Our fax number is 781-238-4466. Thank you.

Forms
The following 8 forms must be kept in our files for your child and consist of your child’s entire “Enrollment Packet”. Please download them, fill them out, and send them in to GBLB via drop-off, email or USPS.

1. Enrollment Form
2. Tuition Express Signup Form (choose either the ACH or CC form)
3. Developmental History and Background Information
4. Parental Agreement Form
5. General Permission Slip
6. Emergency Release Form (Please fill out your parent contact info within the bottom rectangle. We always contact parents first. In the section, Emergency Contacts, please place 2 or 3 additional contacts, other than the child’s parents.)
7. Medication Consent Form (Fill this form out and have your child’s doctor sign and date it if you wish to leave any Over-The-Counter medications, ointments, lotions, etc. at GBLB. Each item will need its own individual form and this form will be valid for 1 year from date of signature.) (A new form will be needed for any prescriptions for your child as they arise. In addition to this form, please provide the child’s prescription to the teacher with the label intact).
8. Physicians Form This is not a form from GBLB, but rather you would collect this from your child’s doctor. It should include 1.) their most recent Physical Exam date, 2.) Current Immunizations and 3.) A Lead Test blood screening performed at age one.

In order to enroll, please fill out and submit to the office the first two links; 1)Enrollment Form and 2)Tuition Express Signup Form. There will be an $85 enrollment fee withdrawn at this time to reserve your child’s spot at our school ($45 for each additional child). Yearly, the office will notify parents when they need to update these 8 forms and there will be a $45 re enrollment fee at that time.

Forms 3) through 8) may be turned in on your child’s first day of care with us. There will be a one-week tuition deposit withdrawn the week before your child starts with us and is good towards your last week of care when a two-week written notice is received, or your child is graduating off to Kindergarten.

Please contact the school with any questions about this enrollment process. Thank you.
