Children must arrive by 9:00 a.m. Late pick-up after 5:30 p.m. is $3 per minute, payable by Zelle or cash at pick-up. Discuss early drop-off with the director. Children picked up during the day may return the following day.
Our eco-friendly approach teaches children to care for the earth. Two Sulcata tortoises may be observed and interacted with under supervision and with parent permission. A dog is on the property, with no direct child interaction.
A difficult morning or weekend can call for extra gentleness. Use the quiet signal “Fragile Package – Handle with Care” to let staff know your child needs more patience, reassurance, or time to adjust, without sharing the details.
Call or email Ms. Arletty to discuss availability and your child’s needs. The enrollment packet includes a child profile, parent agreement, authorized pick-up and emergency contacts, permission forms, supply list, and enrollment records. Bring completed forms directly to the academy; this website does not collect child records.
My Little Seahorse Academy is at 4359 Brentwood Ct, West Palm Beach, FL 33406. Arrival is required by 9:00 a.m.; late pick-up fees begin after 5:30 p.m. Our hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
We use positive redirection and A.M.O.R. to teach boundaries, empathy, and responsibility. Corporal punishment, physical discipline, and time-out are not used; discipline is never connected to food, rest, or toileting. Families are involved through conferences and support plans when challenges arise. See the packet for the full policy, including suspension and termination provisions.
Immunizations and records must be current. Children may not attend while ill; the packet lists fever over 100°F, vomiting, diarrhea, contagious infections, and lice/nits among exclusions. Medications require a prescription label with the child’s name, dosage, date, and doctor’s information. Only authorized individuals may pick up children; staff verify photo ID and may request the family password or phrase.
No refunds or credits are given for illness, absences, family vacations, moving, or other interruptions in attendance. The agreement provides one tuition-free vacation week per year when the daycare is closed. Ask the director for the scheduled week.
The packet lists My First Ticonderoga pencils, child-safe scissors, glue sticks and liquid glue, dry erase markers, construction and white copy paper, a half-page ruled primary journal, a simple large coloring book, a jumbo book, Crayola washable markers, and one pack each of gallon- and quart-size Ziploc bags. Some supplies are shared; families are notified when replacements are needed.
The packet contains separate yes/no permission forms for photos and videos and for supervised classroom animal interaction. The photo release allows a written update to revoke permission. Review your selections with the director when submitting the packet.
Open the complete Parent Enrollment Packet (PDF) for agreements, forms, permissions, fees, and the full closure list. This website summarizes the September 2026 packet; review the full agreement with the director before enrolling.
The packet lists the following upcoming dates. Closures may change; families will be notified. The academy also closes when the school district closes for hurricanes or other natural disasters.
Two packet entries need director confirmation: “Day after Christmas” is dated December 26, 2027, and “Good Friday” is dated April 2, 2027. Please confirm these before planning care.
Speak with Ms. Arletty Llanes about availability, enrollment, or a visit.
