What is your inclement weather policy?
Occasionally, the academy will close when weather is particularly bad and the safe transport of staff and children cannot be assured. In case of heavy snow, ice, extreme cold, and/or hazardous road conditions, the director will close the program based on the Granville County Public Schools. Information regarding closings or delayed openings will be available on WRAL and WTVD.
In case of hazardous weather that develops during the hours of operation, the director will close the program based on Granville county Public Schools. Parents will be notified by telephone as to the exact time the academy will be closing. Early closings will also be listed on the TV stations above.

What is your discipline policy?
The policy of the academy is:
No corporal punishment will be permitted.
No withdrawal of food, rest, or clothing will be permitted.
No isolation of the child will be permitted (except for a “cool-down period” – see below).
Cool-Down Period:
A “Cool-Down Period” is defined as the removal of a child for a short period of time from a situation in which the child is misbehaving and has not responded to other discipline techniques. The cool-down period is limited to no more than one minute per year of age. At no time will this procedure be utilized for children under the age of two. During the cool-down period, the child is still in sight of a teacher at all times. During the cool-down period, the child has a chance to think about the misbehavior which led to his/her removal from the group. Then the teacher discusses the incident and the child is treated with the same affection and respect shown to the other children.
