Family policies

We ask your written permission before we share any photo of your child, on this site, in newsletters or on social media, and you can change your answer at any time. We never put a child's name with a photo, and the photos on this site are examples until we replace them with our own.

Please keep your child home with a fever, vomiting, diarrhea or a rash we don't recognize, and bring them back after a full day without symptoms. If your child gets sick here, we call you right away so someone can come.

A teacher hands each child to you at the room door. We release a child only to the people you list in writing, and we ask for ID from anyone we don't know.

If you'll be late, call the front desk. If pickup runs past closing time, Laverne talks with you in person; the rule is in writing when you enroll.

Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack come from our church kitchen, and we say a blessing before lunch. Tell us about any allergy at the tour; once you enroll, we ask again in private. Families of infants bring the milk or formula.

Infants sleep on their backs, in their own cribs, with nothing else in the crib. Toddlers and older children rest on cots, at the time each one needs.

We close on the holidays we give you in writing when you enroll. If weather or anything else closes us, we tell you by text message.

We ask for two weeks' notice before your child leaves, in writing or in person.

Cardigan is a ministry of Grace Baptist Church and operates under a Notice of Compliance from NC DCDEE, not a star-rated license. It confirms we meet the state's minimum health and safety standards for religious-sponsored centers. We keep a copy at the front desk and will show it to you at the tour.
