Non-Discrimination and Enrollment Policy

 

Bees Family Childcare Academy is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and nurturing environment for all children and families. We do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, disability, gender, age, or family status.

 

Enrollment is open to all children who can safely participate in our program. However, Bees Family Childcare Academy reserves the right to deny or terminate enrollment if, after observation and assessment, a child’s behavior, health condition, or special needs cannot be safely accommodated within the program’s resources and may pose a risk to the child, other children, staff members, or the overall operation of the program.

 

Any enrollment decision will be made on an individual basis, with consideration for the child’s well-being, the safety of all participants, and applicable state and federal regulations.
