Enrollment, Health & Parent Policies
Admissions Policy
Star Christian School and Child Care Center welcomes children and families who are seeking a nurturing, structured, and Christ-centered educational environment.
Children 2½ years of age and older may be considered for admission to the preschool/childcare program, provided they meet program readiness requirements. Students in Kindergarten through 6th grade may be admitted during the school year based on space availability, completion of enrollment forms, and review of school policies.
Admission is based on the school’s ability to meet the child’s needs within the scope of our program, staffing, and available supervision. All families must complete the required registration and provide current records, including emergency information, health information, and any required enrollment documents.
Star Christian School and Child Care Center do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational and admission policies, scholarship programs, or other school-administered activities.
Health & Illness Policy
For the health and safety of all children, staff, and families, children should come to school healthy and well enough to participate in normal daily activities.
Children may not attend school or childcare if they have:
- A fever
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- A contagious rash
- Symptoms of a communicable illness
- Any condition that prevents them from comfortably participating in classroom activities
- Any condition requiring care beyond the routine supervision our program can provide
If a child becomes ill during the day, parents or authorized contacts will be notified and must arrange for prompt pickup.
Star Christian School and Child Care Center are licensed to care for healthy ambulatory children. California licensing regulations separately address facilities for mildly ill children, which require a different license classification; standard childcare centers are not licensed under that category unless separately approved. California childcare regulations also require immunization compliance before admission, subject to applicable legal exceptions.
Parent Responsibilities
We believe children thrive best when parents and schoolwork together in partnership. Parents are expected to support the school’s mission and cooperate with school policies and procedures.
Parents/guardians are responsible for:
- Completing all required enrollment and emergency forms
- Providing current contact and authorized pickup information
- Keeping their child home when ill
- Arranging timely drop-off and pickup
- Providing required supplies, lunch, snacks, or other items as requested by the school
- Reading school notices and responding promptly when needed
- Supporting respectful behavior and cooperation with school staff
- Maintaining tuition and fee payments according to the school agreement
- Informing the school of any significant changes affecting the child’s care, health, or learning
For the safety and well-being of all students, parents are expected to communicate respectfully with staff and to follow school procedures. The California childcare licensing framework places responsibility on licensees to comply with health and safety requirements and to maintain records and operating procedures, making clear written parent cooperation policies especially important.
