School Closings
If we need to close Kiddie City due to weather, it will be sent via our Brightwheel app. We are not always closed if Euclid City Schools are closed, but will be closed or delayed if our staff cannot safely get to the center. Please be sure that you check your app regularly for important updates.
Payment Reminder
Self pay and weekly co-pay payments are due each Friday for the upcoming week on our Center Brightwheel app. Payments are considered late if they are not received by Monday. On Wednesday morning of each week late fees will be applied to any unpaid balances. If your account falls more than one payment behind your child will not be able to attend until the account is current and your child’s spot will not be guaranteed as we have a waiting list of children who need childcare. Please be sure to make timely payments, as we can continue to serve you and your child.
Teaching Strategies Gold (TSG)
To get updates on your child’s learning you can sign up for access to our Teaching Strategies Gold assessment system. An explanation of the system can be secured by talking to Dayna White. A form will be completed and turned in to your child’s teacher so that we can start sharing more information with you on your child’s learning.

We do as much as possible to sanitize toys and door handles daily and practice good hand washing with the children, etc.
Sign In/Out Reminder
Please make sure you sign your child in and out daily on the KinderSmart app.
Attendance/Food Service Reminders
Kiddie City is not a drop off babysitting service. At Kiddie City we strive to get all children ready for Kindergarten and beyond. Even in the infant classes we are planning lessons and activities to lay the foundation for your child’s future education. For your child to fully benefit from the program they need to be regular in attendance. Your child must arrive at Kiddie City by 9:00am so that they can fully benefit from the programing. If children are not here there is a chance that we may send staff members home. Breakfast is served until 8:45am in Baby 2 through Preschool. If you child arrives after 8:45am please be sure that they have already had breakfast. Please make sure you sign your child in and out daily.
*Beginning the Fall of 2020, parents enrolling children into the 2020-2021 program will be required to sign a COVID-19 Waiver.
