Childcare Programs

Magnolia ISD’s Early Morning Childcare is an optional, supplemental program operating as a separate entity apart from the regular school day. Target goals for staff-to-student ratios will be 1:30. If a student requires a lesser ratio than 1:30, the program may not be best suited for the child.

Elementary Times

• Early Morning Care: 6:30 - 7:45 AM (Students who arrive after 7:45 AM must be dropped off in the Car Rider Line.)
• Car Rider: 7:55 - 8:40 AM
• School Begins at 8:40 AM

Intermediate Times

• Early Morning Care: 6:30 - 7:05 AM (Students who arrive after 7:05 AM must be dropped off in the Car Rider Line.)
• Car Rider: 7:15 - 8:00 AM
• School Begins at 8:00 AM

Early Morning Childcare staff will communicate and enforce clear and consistent behavior expectations. Routine discipline matters will be handled by the Early Morning Childcare staff and parents will be notified accordingly. More severe or persistent behavior issues may result in the Early Morning Childcare leadership notifying campus or district administrators. Disciplinary actions may include removing a student from the Early Morning Childcare Program for a period of time or even permanently.

Students participating in the Early Morning Childcare Program will adhere to the following disciplinary guidelines:

1. Student will be redirected to a more appropriate behavior and expectation  

2. If an inappropriate behavior continues, the student will be provided a consequence (ie. time-out based on age)

3. If behavior does not improve and continues to affect other students, he/she will be referred to the Director of After School Programs

4. As a final step, the student may be suspended or terminated

Parents may be notified depending upon severity of the incident and/or to discuss further action. 

• We respect ourselves, other students, and staff
• We use respectful and appropriate language
• We use appropriate voice levels inside and outside
• We respect school/program property and equipment
• We are responsible for our belongings and do not take what belongs to others
• We participate in activities, follow instructions, and cooperate with staff
• We use our inside voices and follow the school safety guidelines
• We ask permission before leaving the group
