Frequently Asked Questions

What Are The Fees?

Please review a copy of our latest fee schedule which will give you a breakdown of the fees offered at New Life Little Arrows Child Care.

Are the Tuition Fees Negotiable?

No.  We researched the child care industry to ensure our fees were comparable to the standards.  Please know that we are educating and preparing your child for their future, not just babysitting.

 

Are Staff Members Screened?

Yes.  All staff members and volunteers are screened in accordance with licensing guidelines.

What Ages Will LACC Accept?

Full time registered students – ages 6 weeks to 5 years.  School age children — 5 years to 12 years (before/after care.)

Do You Offer Before and After Care?

Yes.  We accept school age children from 5 years to 12 years for before and after school care.

Do You Accept Government Assisted Children?

Yes.  We are a facility that is contracted with the State of Missouri.  (Limited Enrollment, must be able to meet the financial requirements of New Life LIttle Arrows *LACC*).

What is Your Child/Teacher Ratio?

For infants, 6 weeks – 24 months, the ratio is 2/11 with an aide as needed.  2 to 3 year olds, the ratio is 2/10.  4 to 5 year olds, the ratio is 2/12.  For school age children the ratio is 1/6 with an aide as needed.  We believe in the small classroom setting to offer your child the most attention that we can give them to ensure they are receiving a quality education.

Will My Child Be Involved in Field Trips?

Yes.  Parents are notified in advance of any field trips that are scheduled and fees involved.  We encourage parents to come along with us!

What Are Your Hours of Operation?

6:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday thru Friday.  However, there are times the center may close a little early based on the time a parent picks up the last child.

What About Inclement Weather?

For the safety and security of our students, parents, and staff members, there may be times that the school closes if the weather has been deemed to be dangerous to travel (ie, severe ice storm or snow storms).  We try our very best to minimize any closings.  If LACC will be closed due to severe weather, please view Channel 5 for school closings.
