| We devote a great deal of time and love into how our program is designed. It is run like a school, not a daycare. We prefer all children to be in attendance EVERY day to capitalize on the benefits of being a student at Strawberry Fields. We follow a daily curriculum, and we don’t want any child missing out on any of the creative content. We understand illnesses and vacations and their role in a child’s life. Please see our ILLNESS and VACATION policies for further details.
We start our days with Pep Rally. This is where our learning begins! On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, we focus on songs, activities, chants, and dances that emphasize our studies for that week: letter, color, number, shape, theme, holiday, etc. On Wednesdays, we have a very special day called Worship Wednesday! This is when we sing songs and dance to Christian music! **** Tuition is due by Tuesday @9am for the current week. Tuition is collected before a full week of services are rendered.**** ** Tuition is due even if your child is not in attendance. Exceptions are made for earned vacation time, hospitalizations, or other severe medical issues. ** ** Full tuition is still due during holidays. ** The following dates show when our school will be closed as well as our early release days throughout this year. You can also visit our CALENDAR to see all of our special events! 2024- 2025 School Year CLOSED Friday, August 9th – Professional Development Day Monday, Sept. 2th -Labor Day Monday, Sept. 23rd – Professional Development Day Monday, Oct. 14th -Professional Development Day Thursday & Friday, Nov. 28-29th -Thanksgiving Tuesday & Wednesday, Dec 25-26th – Christmas Wednesday, Jan 1st – New Year’s Day Monday, Jan. 20th – MLK Day Monday, Feb. 17th – Professional Development Day Monday, March 24th – Professional Development Day Friday, April 18th – Good Friday Friday, May 23rd – Professional Development Day Monday, May 26th – Memorial Day

| Strawberry Fields goal is to have students feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. We do not require uniforms at Strawberry Fields.
We do ask that children adhere to the following out of modesty and safety:
Please do not send any of the following items with your child at any time as these things pose major safety issues and academic distractions.
We highly recommend that you do not send your child in expensive or one-of a kind outfit! We get messy when we eat, paint almost daily, and participate in fun science experiments and outdoor activities. We prefer NO BOWS! Most children remove them throughout the day and place them in the strangest places. If a bow goes missing, we will have a form for you to fill out and we will search the building after pick up time is over. We will Group Me you if we find the bow. What to Bring? Below you will find a suggested list of things to send with your child upon their first day of school at Strawberry Fields. Please note that this is only a suggested list and that you may want to add or subtract some of these items. I’m in Diapers Packing List:
Please note that we do not assemble or warm up formula. We will refrigerate already-assembled formula and give it to the child upon your requested times. I Take Naps Packing List:

Hello Parents!
I LOVE positive reinforcement, and I LOVE teaching students skills that they will use the rest of their lives!
Positive Reinforcement
Strawberry Fields of Learning uses positive reinforcement as the primary way to promote desired behavior.
(12 months to 18 months)
If a child bites, scratches, or hits another child, the teacher will redirect that child away from the child he/she hurt. The teacher will use kind words to talk to both children about how we treat and love our friends.
(18 months – 2 ½ or 3 years of age)
Any child who bites, scratches, or hits another child will be removed from the situation. The teacher will have a conversation with the child on how we are nice to our friends and that we do not hurt our friends. The child will then be redirected to another activity.
If a child consistently hurts others and parents do not acknowledge or actively help to resolve the situation, we will ask the student to leave SFOL. This is rare; however, it does become necessary when a parent does not take seriously/believe the reports we are giving them.
We love our Holiday events! Please refer to the Calendar for dates and more information.
Thanksgiving Feast
Pre Rotation, Lower Rotation-Desserts
Upper Rotation, AP, and Kindergarten Meal

Class Parties
Depending on your child’s room mom, you may need to bring in various items for the holiday parties or provide a small donation.
We LOVE parents on our campus. For safety reasons, we do NOT allow anyone to free roam in our building unless they’re on staff.
Request a tour by calling our office at 281-549-6500 or by email (rylie@teachbig.com or danielle@teachbig.com).
- Only biological parents will have automatic access to their children. You may come to our school at anytime. If you want additional people to pick up your child, their names must be added to the Registration Card. They will have to show a state-issued, photo ID to pick up your child.
• If custody issues ensue, we are bound to follow court orders. We must have a copy on file.
Please keep in mind that tuition is due through the holidays unless you have accumulated vacation time. Please email erin@teachbig.com regarding vacation time.

I am a firm believer that children need outdoor play whenever the weather and conditions are favorable. We are blessed to have 10,000 square feet of outdoor playground space.
In the event of inclement weather or conditions, the indoor gym areas in which to play activities such as bottom scooters, parachutes, bowling, hoola hoops, large building blocks, tumbling, etc..
Playground Highlights:
- Nature Trails
- Basketball Hoops
- Riding Cars
- House Village
- Picnic Area
Conditions in which we go outside:
- Temperatures on the playground between 66 and 88 degrees
- No rain or lightening is occurring
- Mosquitoes are at a minimum
- Air quality is at an acceptable level
Outside Hydration:
- Hydration is important in the classroom and outside the classroom!
- We have water machines in every classroom and take pitchers of water outside to fill their cups.
- Children will be offered water before and after outside and gym time.
Outdoors things to Consider:
- Please send your child with sunscreen to keep in their cubby if you would like them to wear it on sunny days
- Please send your child with bug spray of your choice to keep in their cubby if you would like them to wear it upon going outside
| School parties are a staple around Strawberry Fields! We really enjoy having fellowship time with our families and children together on our campuses.
Safety still must remain at the top of our list during these fun times. If you would like to be a Room Parent, or if you would like to join your child at their party, we must have a new background check administered EVERY year! The background check forms can be gotten from the Director.
School Parties/Get Togethers that REQUIRE a Background Check: Orange Day Party: The Wednesday closest to Halloween (no costumes are worn, but everyone dresses in the most ORANGE possible). We like to have Room Parents help with this event. Please let your Director know if you would like to lead or co-lead in this fun event. Valentine’s Day Party: This time of year is especially fun because we get to all show our love for each other! This event is best when each class has their own Room Parent! Please consider volunteering for this event! The children do exchange Valentine’s cards with one another. Class lists will be provided to each class. Graduation Party: The Graduation Parties are only available to AP and Kindergarten classes. This is a neat time to reminisce and think back on the great time spent at Strawberry Fields and the amazing times that lie ahead as your child enters public school completely prepared to tackle school!
Events that DO NOT require a Background Check: Thanksgiving Feast: This fun event is held the week or two BEFORE the Thanksgiving Break week of public schools in the area. Each level of class will have their own assigned day in which to attend. We will sell tickets to this event which cover the cost of the food. The meal is catered by Pomodoro’s. We will post a sign-up link in the GroupMe of each child’s class when it is time to get your tickets. Whichever campus your child attends will be where their Thanksgiving Feast is held. This event does not require a background check because each child in attendance will be accompanied by their respective adult. Christmas Pageant: This is our BIGGEST production of the school year! It requires full costumes, memorized lines, and lots of singing on stage! We do sell tickets to this event to cover the cost of costumes and backdrops. This event has SOLD OUT the past three years! When we announce that tickets are on sale, please get yours quickly so that you can pick the show you would like to attend! This event does not require a background check as students do not intermingle with their families because they are performing on stage. Graduation: This ceremony is for children who will be entering public/private school beyond Strawberry Fields the following fall. Children will be performing as well as graduating during this time. No background check is needed for this event due to the fact that the students are on stage performing/graduating and not mingling with adults. |
Pep rally is important because it gets the kiddos movin’ and groovin’ before they begin their day. Pep rally lasts for 30 minutes and teaches the national anthem, pledge of allegiance, scope and sequence for the week. Also includes the SFOL alma mater and class creed, which incorporates sign language. Kiddos are able to lead the pledge of allegiance and sing and dance with their friends.
We have an in-house photographer and have pictures four times a year.
• Fall pictures
• Christmas with Santa pictures
• Spring pictures
• Graduation pictures (for graduates only)
You may send an extra set of clothes for your child to change into or out of to keep amazing outfits amazing!
If picture day falls on a day that is not a regularly scheduled day for your child, they may attend until 12pm the day of pictures.
Upon entering the class, students will need to be able to ask to go to the restroom outside of the scheduled potty breaks we take each day. Every time a child requests to go to the potty, the request is honored. The Kindergarteners are allowed to report to the restroom independently. (One at a time). All other rotation students will be accompanied by an adult to the restroom. Students will wipe themselves independently, unless they request assistance or unless the adult detects a need to help them wipe.

We are very excited to discover all of the great talents your children possess. But we are also excited to hear about your talents and careers!
We love to have guest speakers at Strawberry Fields! If you would like to share about your talent or career with the students of our school, please fill out the form below.
We are excited about igniting the imaginations and possibilities available to our children! Thank you, in advance, for being so willing to be a part of their learning journey.
Ways to share:
1. Send things to hand out to children that will share your talent/career.
2. Come to SFOL and speak about your talent/career.
3. Send a video or PowerPoint that explores your talent/career (you do not have to be in the video).

Strawberry Fields does NOT offer transportation before or after school to surrounding elementary schools.
We have several families who work together to pick up their children and then bring them to Strawberry Fields. This may be an option that also fits your family’s needs.
CCISD does offer bus transportation to/from Strawberry Fields for special services situations.
Due to all of the tuition options based on age, ability, and schedule please call us to receive tuition information.
281-549-6500
**** Tuition is due by Tuesday @9am for the current week. Tuition is collected before a full week of services are rendered.****
We hate to see you go, but we understand circumstances change! In order to unenroll your child from SFOL, we will need a two week notice via our unenrollment JotForm. You can ask any Admin for this JotForm. If you choose to pull your child before the two weeks are over, tuition will still be due for the remainder of the two weeks.
As stated in our Policy Handbook on the Holidays page, tuition is due in full during the holiday weeks; however, “vacation” time is granted after 6 months and 12 months first date of attendance. Weeks do not roll over between vacation periods. For every 6 months that your child is enrolled at SFOL, you are granted one week “vacation” time meaning tuition will not be due for the week that you choose.
After you talk to an Admin member about using vacation time, they will send you our “Vacation Jot Form”. After filling out the form, Ms. Katelyn will reach out to you to confirm your vacation time!
****Please check with Katelyn in accounting (katelyn@teachbig.com) if you’re unsure or if you’ve already used vacation time in the past.

Students’ brains need a lot of water to function at the highest! Ozarka water machines are in every classroom. Anytime a student requests water, it is provided. Students may keep a personal cup in their homeroom cubby. When students are in their HR classes, students may use their own cup to drink from. If they are not in their HR classes, disposable cups will be provided. The following schedule is when water will be offered to every child. Beyond these times, students may ask for, and receive water at any time.
- Water Schedule
- Breakfast
- Morning HR class
- After PE class
- During lunch
- After recess
- During snack
We report school closings to KHOU, Channel 11 News.
We follow CCISD school closure times/dates due to weather or national disasters.
We will send out Group Me text messages for all weather events.
Please do not send any of the following items with your child at any time as these things pose major safety issues and
academic distractions.
• Toys
• Coins
• Hats
• Masks
• Rocks
• Purses
• Capes
• Shoes that have squeakers or make animal noises
• Crocs
• Flip flops
• Backpacks
We highly recommend that you do not send your child in expensive or one-of a kind outfits! We get messy when we eat, paint almost daily, and participate in fun science experiments and outdoor activities.
We prefer NO BOWS!
Most children remove them throughout the day and place them in the strangest places. If a bow goes missing, we will have a form for you to fill out and we will search the building after pick up time is over. We will Group Me you if we find the bow.
Annual health checks are required for each child attending SFOL. Proof of this visit to a pediatrician is necessary for continued attendance. This includes, but is not limited to: general health/wellness, immunizations, vision, hearing screenings.
We are certified through the State of Texas Childcare Licensing
