BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL AGE CHILD CARE
PROGRAM HANDBOOK
PHILOSOPHY
The Eagles Nest Before and After School Care Program is designed to be a link between school and home
that will meet the child’s social, emotional and physical needs, complementing the school day in a secure
environment which encourages positive feelings of self-worth, decision-making, problem solving and
individual expression.
GOALS
• Meet children’s needs by creating an environment where children are shown the value of embracing
diversity and making positive choices.
• Provide professional, qualified staff to supervise and interact with children to ensure safety and well-
being.
• Provide affordable, quality child care services to families which positively reflect the expectations of
the New Albany-Plain Local Schools.
ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES
The New Albany-Plain Local School District School-Age Child Care Program will provide quality school-age
programming for children attending grades K-5 or as otherwise approved by the Administration to meet
student and family needs. The school-age child care program, The Eagles Nest, will be located at the New
Albany Primary School, 87 N. High Street, New Albany, Ohio 43054.
By maintaining a safe, well-supervised place for children, parent(s)/guardian(s) can be assured that their
child will be comforted and cared for by staff. Daily activities that are fun and age appropriate are designed
for children. Outdoor recreational activity is encouraged, as well as indoor activities that promote
cooperation and independent problem-solving. Assistance with homework is also available.
To insure the safety of the children and the quality of the program, enrollment will be controlled by the
space and staff that is available as recommended by the Ohio Department of Education.
The Eagles Nest is a tuition-based program and operates financially independent of New Albany-Plain
Local Schools.
1ENROLLMENT POLICIES
REGISTRATION
• The New Albany-Plain Local School’s Eagles Nest Program will be available only to children enrolled in
the New Albany-Plain Local Schools.
• Registration is processed through the GoSignMeUp website on the NAPLS website. (www.napls.us)
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Registration procedures and deadlines must be adhered to in order to provide efficient and fair
administration of the program.
• To ensure the safety of the children and the quality of the program, the staff and space available will
control enrollment. The maximum number of children in attendance at one time at program site
should not exceed the number recommended by the Ohio Department of Education. The Eagles Nest
office will regulate the wait list, if needed.
• A $35.00 non-refundable, registration fee per child is required at time of registration.
• Admission to the Eagles Nest program is complete when all required forms are submitted. Telephone,
and cell phone numbers must be accurate and constantly updated for home, work (both
parent(s)/guardian(s)) and three nearest relatives and/or neighbor to be contacted in case of
emergency. This information is required by law. Failure to complete this request will result in
suspension/expulsion from the program without refund of any tuition.
• Once a child is enrolled in the Eagles Nest, the parent(s)/guardian(s) is/are responsible for informing
the staff of any special medical, physical or emotional needs and/or custodial arrangements that will
assist the staff in the supervision of the child.
• Parent(s)/Guardian(s) must be current in payment when registering for the next school year before
they can return to the program.
TERMINATION OF ENROLLMENT
A child’s enrollment may be terminated at any time for any of the following reasons:
• Failure to comply with tuition agreement.
• Account is not paid in full by the end of the school year.
• Late payment of tuition.
• Continual late pick-up.
• If the child’s conduct is unmanageable or unsafe.
• Parent(s)/Guardian(s) are unable or unwilling to work with site staff to resolve a problem.
• Parent(s)/guardian(s) are unable or unwilling to provide staff with required emergency contact
information.
• It is determined by the Coordinator that our program is unable to meet the needs of the child.
If it is determined that a child’s participation in the Eagles Nest should discontinue, the parent/guardian
will be contacted accordingly.
2SPECIAL NEEDS POLICY
Children with special needs are welcome to participate in the Eagles Nest program. The Eagles Nest does
not discriminate on the basis of disability. The Eagles Nest will afford otherwise qualified persons with
disabilities an equal opportunity for participation in the program. The Eagles Nest is a program servicing
children in a large group child-care setting. Registration policies and procedures apply equally to all
children. In order to participate, children must be able to independently tend to their toileting needs and
be toilet trained and follow directions with limited staff intervention.
To better care for a child, we need all pertinent information regarding special needs. This could include
information regarding physical, emotional or behavioral needs, medications, allergies or any other special
circumstances. The child’s IEP plan from the school may be shared to provide consistency of care.
Qualified students with disabilities will be afforded accommodations, modifications, and/or interventions,
unless such accommodations, modifications, and/or interventions would impose an undue financial
burden, or would alter the fundamental nature or purpose of the Eagles Nest program. A determination
that a particular accommodation, modification, intervention would constitute an undue burden must be
made by the Coordinator after considering all resources available for use in the funding and operation of
the Eagles Nest, and will be accompanied by a written statement of the reasons for reaching that
conclusion. After careful consideration, if a request cannot be accompanied in the group setting of the
program, a child may be dismissed from the program. Before a child is dismissed from the program, the
parent/guardian will be provided with an opportunity to meet with Eagles Nest personnel to discuss the
reasons for the intended dismissal. The parent/guardian will be notified of any decision to dismiss a child
from the program.
All children must follow the Eagles Nest rules and adhere to the Eagles Nest Discipline Policy, and the
ability to do so is a qualification for enrollment in the Eagles Nest program. If at any time during the
program the Eagles Nest staff feels the children enrolled in the program and/or the staff, and/or the child
himself, are endangered by a child’s failure to follow program rules, the child involved may be asked to
leave the program.
STUDENT RECORDS
The student file of each child shall include, but not be limited to:
• Name and date of birth.
• Name, address (home and business), and telephone, cellular number of parent(s)/guardian(s).
• Names, addresses and telephone numbers of three (3) persons to contact in case of an emergency if
the parent(s)/guardian(s) cannot be located.
• Name of person(s) to whom the child may be released and transportation plan.
• Parent(s)/Guardian(s) authorization for first aid, medication, and emergency medical transportation.
• A certified copy of any order or decree, or modification of such an order or decree, allocating parental
rights and responsibilities for the care of the child and designating a residential parent and legal
custodian of the child.

physician. A log of medication administered will be kept by the staff.

• Copies of discipline write-ups.

In addition to the above, the program shall maintain daily attendance records including admission and
withdrawal.
The program shall secure and have on file all required information no later than the first day of attendance
unless otherwise indicated. The program will keep the information in the student’s file confidential to the
extent permitted by law.
PROGRAMMING INFORMATION
• Age-appropriate activities are planned and implemented in separate areas where space permits.
Children meet in one large primary space for attendance, snack and transition to gym/outside,
homework room, crafting area, discovery area as well as other space that becomes available to the
program operations.
• The Eagles Nest staff prepare daily activities for children that are enriching and age-appropriate.
• The Eagles Nest staff strive to provide a successful environment for children to succeed through
strong partnerships between home and school. Children are offered a wide-variety of activities to
participate in each day, and are encouraged to make their own choices. Because the Eagles Nest will
provide your child with a variety of games, supplies and equipment, we ask that your child not bring
items such as electronic devices, toys or cell phones from home. Please know that the Eagles Nest
will not be responsible for any loss or damage to personal items.
• Children may work on homework and a staff member will be available to provide assistance when
asked. Staff cannot be held responsible for a child completing his/her homework. The Eagles Nest
will provide the necessary resources to complete homework, such as paper, pencils, markers, scissors
and computers for research.
• Only G and PG rated movies will be shown to the Eagles Nest children. PG movies are shown in
compliance with the New Albany-Plain Local School movie policy.
LOCATION
The Eagles Nest will operate, in most part, in the Primary School cafeteria, gym, playground and
classrooms.
OUTDOOR PLAY
Children have the opportunity to play outside daily if the weather permits or when safety conditions are
suitable. Outdoor play will be cancelled if the temperature is 20 degrees or below, the wind chill factor is
0 degrees or below, or if the temperature is 95 degrees or a heat index at or above 100 degrees. The
4children will be provided the use of the gym for indoor large motor activities. Please make sure your child
is dressed properly for all weather conditions.
SUPERVISION

the Administration. Tuition is due on the 15th of the month prior to the start of each month of the program.
5As part of the New Albany-Plain Local Schools, The Eagles Nest will also use PayForIt to process monthly
tuition payments electronically for each child’s before and/or after school aged child care. PayForIt allows
the parent to choose an automatic checking, savings or credit card account for monthly tuition payments.
PayForIt also allows a parent to establish a recurring payment. The monthly tuition due must be paid

• Parent(s)/Guardian(s) or other designated person, must sign the child out with initials and time when
picking them up. They must be willing to show ID upon request. Legal documentation on file is

to the Eagles Nest staff.
CUSTODY ARRANGEMENTS
• All parent(s)/guardian(s) listed on the child’s release form shall be authorized to pick-up his/her child
unless the Eagles Nest is provided the required court order or decree documentation.
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) are permitted to designate others for pick-up unless the proper legal
8documentation restricts parental rights and the Coordinator/Staff are apprised of the court order
decree. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) with joint custody should agree to the release list, before the
completion of the registration. Both parent(s)/guardian(s) will be permitted to pick up the child and
to designate others to pick up. If one parent has legal custody of the child, they have the right to
designate others to pick up, as long as they provide the staff with the required court papers.
ABSENCES
• If a child is going to be absent from the Eagles Nest program, parent(s)/guardian(s) are asked to notify
the program as soon as possible at 614-413-8681 or 740-564-9438 (site cell) or emailing
eaglesnest@napls.us. Failure to do so shall result in a tracking fee.
EMERGENCY CLOSINGS

school dismisses early due to inclement weather or other emergency situations, there will be no
Eagles Nest program that afternoon, and parent(s)/guardian(s) are requested to pick up their child
as soon as school is dismissed.
DISCIPLINE POLICY AND PROCEDURES
BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS
There are specific behavioral guidelines for children enrolled in the Eagles Nest program. Children are
expected to participate in and enjoy activities without disrupting or preventing other children’s enjoyment
or participation. To develop within children a respect of self, others and environment, the following
guidelines are needed:
• Children are expected to follow the directions of staff. Site rules will be reviewed with children.
• Children are to show respect for others and not fight, kick, pinch, bite or do anything which would
hurt, frighten, or humiliate another child.
• Threats to other children and adults/staff are taken seriously and are considered grounds for
suspension/removal from program.
• Children are expected to use a normal tone of voice indoors and use acceptable language at all times.
• Children are to use furnishings and materials properly and carefully, and return all items to their
designated place when finished using them.
• Parent(s)/guardian(s) need to work with staff in a positive, respectful manner to help resolve any
problems.
• Children must stay in designated program space, both indoors and outdoors.
• Children may not ride their bicycles, rollerblades or skateboards on school property during Eagles
Nest hours unless a special activity has been planned. Electronic games are not permitted unless
authorized by the Coordinator. Cell phones are to remain in backpacks.
• Children will be responsible for cleaning their space after snacks, after play and before leaving with
their parent(s)/guardian(s) at the time of sign-out.
• A child who is having problems with the guidelines of the program may be removed from the
program to a designated quiet area until he/she is able to act in an appropriate manner.
9• Children who repeatedly violate Eagles Nest rules may be suspended or removed from the program,
may not be accepted into the program the next year, and may not be permitted to attend the Eagles
Nest full-day sessions.
CONSEQUENCES
Despite our best efforts, there will be inevitable conflicts occurring in the program. These conflicts can be
seen as “teachable moments” as they help children learn how to deal with conflict situations in general,
giving them the tools that they will need throughout their childhood and beyond.
Basic conflict resolutions steps:
• Approach the situation calmly - stopping any hurtful actions.
• Acknowledge children’s feelings - making simple statements that show concern.
• Gather Information - asking children what they think happened or what they want to have happen.
• Restate the problem - repeating the information that children have shared in a neutral and calm way.
• Ask for ideas for solutions and choose one together- asking how we can solve the problem.
• Be prepared to give follow-up support - first be encouraging to children and then be observing to
ensure that the situation is resolved.
Our goal is to resolve any unacceptable behavior before it escalates to the need of write-ups or
suspension/removal.
DISCIPLINE DOCUMENTATION
• A write-up will be issued when a child repeatedly does not follow the behavioral guidelines through
verbal re-direction, or for a severe infraction or deliberate violation of the rules.
• Three discipline write-ups will result in a conference with the program Coordinator, Child Care
Assistant and parent/guardian and suspension from the program. Tuition payment continues through
suspension.
• After suspension, if a child’s conduct warrants another disciplinary write-up, the child will be
dismissed permanently. If the child’s conduct warrants permanent dismissal, he/she may be dismissed
permanently without the usual fourth write-up. In such cases a parent/guardian conference will be
called.
• If a child is suspended or expelled during the normal school day, the child may not attend the Eagles
Nest program until the school suspension/expulsion is over.
PROHIBITED DISCIPLINE
The following restrictions apply to discipline in the Eagles Nest program:
• There will be no cruel, harsh or corporal punishment, or any unusual punishment such as, but not
limited to, punching, pinching, shaking, spanking or biting.
• Discipline shall not be delegated to a child.
• No physical restraints shall be used to confine a child by any means other than holding a child for a
short period of time, such as a protective hug, so that the child may regain control.
• No child shall be placed in a locked room or otherwise confined to an enclosed area such as a closet,
box, or similar cubicle.
10• No child shall be subjected to profane language, threats, derogatory remarks about himself/herself
or his/her family, or any other verbal abuse.
• Discipline shall not be imposed on a child for failure to eat or for toileting accidents.
• Techniques of discipline shall not be intended to humiliate, shame or frighten a child.
• Discipline shall not include the withholding of food, rest or toilet use.
• Separation shall be brief in duration, and age and developmentally appropriate. The child shall be
within sight and hearing of Eagles Nest staff, and in a safe, lighted and well-ventilated space.
ILLNESS/MEDICATIONS/ACCIDENTS
EMERGENCY CARE
• If a child is injured and we deem necessary, an emergency squad will be called for treatment and/or
transport to the hospital. We will make every effort to notify the parent/guardian as quickly as
possible, but the immediate care of the child is our primary concern.
EMERGENCY CONTACT FORM
• Every child must have emergency information on file.
ILLNESS
• Eagles Nest staff cannot be left responsible to care for sick children. Children who are ill, exhibiting
symptoms of a communicable disease, and/or running a temperature, are not permitted to remain in
the program while ill. If absent from school the child may not attend the Eagles Nest program. If a
child exhibits any of the following symptoms a parent/guardian will be notified:
o Diarrhea (more than one loose stool in 24 hour period)
o Severe coughing that causes the child to become red or blue in the face or to make a whooping
sound
o Difficult or rapid breathing
o Yellowish skin or eyes

other symptoms
o Untreated infected skin patch(es)

o Vomiting
o As otherwise determined by the Coordinator
MEDICATION
• Medication, both prescription and over-the-counter, will be administered to your child only with your
written permission and after you have completed the appropriate authorization form which is signed
by your physician. The form is kept on site, along with a log of when medication was administered.
11• All prescription medication must be current within the last twelve months, kept in its original
container and have a legible label containing the child’s name and written instructions for use from a
licensed physician, nurse practitioner or dentist. All medications will be kept in an area that is
inaccessible to children.
• Parent(s)/Guardian(s) are responsible for notifying staff of any medicine that needs to be
administered on full days, if applicable.
ACCIDENTS
• A staff member will report any injury that he/she determines may need medical or dental attention.
An incident report will be completed within a 24-hour period from the time of the incident and
provided to the parent(s)/guardian(s) when they pick up their child. The parent/guardian will be asked
to sign the form, along with the person reporting the incident and program Coordinator. A copy will
be placed in the student’s file and parent(s)/guardian(s) may receive a copy if requested.
• Since accidents can occur without the direct knowledge/witness of supervising staff, children are
advised to report any accidents immediately.
