Eaton University at the Eaton Elementary School
We are dedicated to the learning and development of your child. Our focus is on the child’s whole development. As we believe education to be a top priority, we also see the need for children to have time to relax and reflect on their day. We want to provide an after school time while having some fun and stimulating their educational skills. The after school program is designed to help the children with homework and enrich the children’s minds with fun themes. The afternoon is designed to first have fun but also incorporate literacy, math, reading, science and socialization. The teachers and tutors will help the children with the learning activities. During the afternoon your child can participate in writing stories, reading literature according to the course, as well as, participate in science, math and games surrounding the theme of the course. We believe in hands on activities as well as art and group learning projects. The children can have options such as a yoga class, sewing, and special art classes that they can also be involved with.

the Director. Emergency
contacts will also be called until the parent is located.
Discipline....
Eaton University has center rules that ensure safety, comfort and happiness. We are also firm believers in appropriate discipline. Harsh punishment is not necessary but instead we use redirection, positive reinforcement, talking with the child and separation of the child from problem situations. We will discuss any matter with the parents explaining the situation and the course of action that was taken. We believe in meeting the needs of children socially and emotionally and will strive to have the children problem solve as much as possible.

In the event of school closure, announcements will be
made on the local radio stations of KFKA 1310 AM, KUAD 99.1 FM and KGRE

during the day, parents will be notified by phone to pick up their child
early. If the center has to
be closed down for an emergency, we will be at the Eaton Fire Station.
We will always carry the cell phone 396-6179, and have attendance
sheets with us. We will be
making phone calls to all parents letting them know about our situation.
Missing Persons....
If a child is missing, the Director or head teacher
will be notified immediately so that the assigned staff can search the
building and grounds. If the

appropriate steps to notify the police/guardian and conduct a search of
