What we are all about….
Pottorf’s Haven is a program that offers before and after-school care for students. Hours of operation are from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., year-round. If your child(ren) attend the before and after school program, he/she will enjoy supervised homework time, arts and crafts, computer time with educational programs, and playground time.
We do not provide daycare on non-school days. Information for
our Summer Program will be available in advance to allow for
planning if offered.

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS
All returned checks will be expected to be paid in cash in full. After
a returned check, all payments must be made in cash.
LATE FEE POLICY
The late fee policy is $1.00/per minute after 6:00 p.m. Lee County guidelines for After School Programs state that if a parent does not arrive on time, staff will make every attempt to contact a member of the family or persons listed as emergency contacts. After that, if no success, then the principal may contact the Lee County Sheriff Department and release the child(ren) to this agency.
DROP OFF AND PICK UP
For safety purposes, children must be walked in by an adult in the morning. That adult will be required to sign the child(ren) in every day. In the afternoon, an adult must come in to pick up the child(ren) and sign the child(ren) out every day.
MEDICATION
We are only allowed to distribute prescription medication. The medication must be in the original container with the child’s name on it. A written parent permission note must also be filed with the program’s director.
FOOD
A healthy snack will be provided every afternoon at no additional cost.
DISCIPLINE POLICY
- A redirection or verbal warning will be given when inappropriate behavior (disrespect, noncompliance, physical/verbal intimidation) first occurs.
- A cool down away from the group will be given when inappropriate behavior continues after the warning (age and behavior will determine the time).
- If inappropriate behavior continues after the cool-down is done or the action is a safety concern, a discipline report describing the behavior will be issued. This report will be discussed with and signed by the parent. The first write-up for the child is a warning. Any write-ups after that will result in a daycare suspension. After 3 write-ups If a child displays severe or continuous disruptive behavior that results in 3 write-ups total, the child(ren) will be expelled from the program. The child(ren) are not allowed to return to the program for that year and the years in the future.
- Parents will be called to come immediately and pick up any student who is displaying severe or uncontrollable behavior.
- Any type of physical aggression toward an adult or child may result in an automatic suspension and/or immediate expulsion from the program.
REST OF THE SCOOP
Phones and Electronics- We follow the same guidelines as the school day policy.
Toys – Please do not allow your child(ren) to bring any toys to daycare. This will alleviate many issues that may arise.
Hats – They are allowed to be worn on outside field trips or during playground play, but not in school.
Homework – Your child will have the opportunity to do homework every day. He/she should be prepared and know the assignment.
