Community Bulletin: Changes to Daycare Pickup Times Starting next month, Little Sprouts Daycare will be adjusting its pickup window to better manage traffic and staffing in the late afternoon. Currently, most parents arrive between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m., which creates a bottleneck in the parking lot and leaves staff struggling to supervise multiple age groups at once during the rush. To spread out arrivals, the daycare is introducing a staggered schedule based on the child's age group. Infants and toddlers may be picked up any time between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m., while preschoolers and kindergarten-aged children should be picked up between 5:00 and 5:30 p.m. Parents with children in both age groups are welcome to collect everyone during the later window. A late fee of five dollars per ten minutes will continue to apply after 5:45 p.m., as staff need to lock up and complete end-of-day cleaning by 6:00 p.m. Parents who anticipate being late are asked to call the front desk as early as possible so staff can plan accordingly. We understand schedules can be unpredictable, especially with traffic and work commitments, but this new system should reduce congestion and make pickup smoother and safer for everyone, including the children waiting to go home.
