Liberty has a Formal Cap and Gown Graduation Program for our Pre-K class at the end of the school year. Location and time will be announced a month before Graduation.

Most children enjoy celebrating special events with their preschool friends (birthdays, new babies, and holidays). Parents may send a “store-bought” treat to share with the class. Please make arrangements with the teacher in advance.

Liberty Preschool Daycare staff members are trained to use a positive method of discipline and guidance that encourages self-esteem, self-control, and self-direction. Just a few examples used in this situation are praise and encouragement of good behavior instead of focusing only upon unacceptable behavior; reminding a child of behavior expectations daily by using clear, positive statements and redirecting behaviors. Liberty Preschool Daycare does not use “time out” as a form of managing behavior. Liberty Preschool Daycare staff will never use Corporal Punishment or negative discipline that may hurt or humiliate a child.

Research has shown that positive guidance teaches children skills which help them get along in their physical and social environment. This aim is to develop personal standards in self-discipline, not to enforce a set of inflexible rules. Giving children understandable guidelines and redirecting their behavior helps them to develop internal control of their actions and encourages acceptable behavior. Positive cooperation is required from the family when dealing with disruptive behavior. We feel that consistency from all parties involved is the best way to handle these issues. Liberty Preschool Daycare reserves the right to terminate care for the child for discipline problems at any time.

Please understand, young children are present in our building. Some adult language is not appropriate for young children. Liberty Preschool Daycare prohibits swearing or cursing on our property.

Threatening staff, children, or other parents will not be tolerated per Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. Liberty Preschool Daycare has the right to terminate care in the event of disruptive behavior from a parent or guardian.

Liberty Preschool Daycare must follow particular rules on discipline and guidance as outlined in Texas Minimum Standards for Child Care Centers. All adults, including parents, must follow these rules while on our property.

Liberty Preschool Daycare staff are REQUIRED by Texas State law and licensing requirements to report immediately to the police or Child Protective Services (CPS) any instance when there is reason to suspect the occurrence of physical, sexual, or emotional child abuse, child neglect, or exploitation. Our staff receive annual training on recognizes and preventing abuse and neglect, including sexual abuse. Liberty Preschool Daycare has made a commitment to help increase awareness and prevention techniques to employees and parents through trainings, memos and monthly newsletters. Liberty Preschool Daycare will also coordinate with community organizations on strategies to prevent abuse and neglect.

The staff may not notify parents when the police or CPS is called about possible child abuse, neglect, or exploitation, except on the recommendation of CPS or the police when they are called.

Some examples of abuse and neglect are: leaving a child in a vehicle unattended, not securing a child in a seat belt or booster seat, unexplained marks or bruises on opposite sides of the body, and child hygiene issues.

If parents feel they need assistance with possible child abuse, neglect, or sexual abuse, we encourage you to get help. Please call the National Parent Hotline at 1-855-427-2736 or visit www.helpandhope.org/find-help.html

Parents are welcome to visit the center any time during the day to observe their child without prior approval. However, if you would like to stay and spend time with your child during activities, please see the office so we can do a proper criminal history check, as required by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.
