PARENT HANDBOOK | north-beach-kids

 

North Beach Kids is about growth and development in a nurturing, safe environment. We welcome all children regardless of race, religion,creed or national origin. We like to treat each child as an individual and aid them in their daily decision making. We are here to assist in their growth and  provide each child every possibility to explore and experience new things. Emphasis is on enjoying the environment, indoors and outdoors, by exploring a variety of activities within the limits established by the teaching staff. Planned experiences enable the children to grow emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically using their natural abilities, interests and temperaments to develop positive feelings about themselves and their world.

 

Days and Hours of Operation

The schools are open year round, Monday through Friday 8:00am – 5:00pm

Full-time care: 8:00am – 5:00pm, Part-time care: 8:00am – 1:00pm

A school calendar is issued on August 1st, listing all holidays and other days that the school will be closed.

 

Ages of Children Accepted for Care

6 months until Kindergarten. The earliest age of a child accepted will be 6 months as of September 1st.

 

Field Trip Provisions

All field trips will be within 2 miles of North Beach Kids. We will leave the school daily, walking or taking Muni to go to various local, neighborhood parks, gardens, events and attractions. We will get dirty! We will always be safe, but know that we will get dirty. A field trip waiver is included in your welcome package.

 

Transportation Arrangements

Most of our transportation needs will be met by MUNI. In the occasional event of a field trip (please see above), all children will be placed in safety-approved car seats as required by California State law. Parents may be requested to provide a car seat for the day.

 

Food Service Provisions

Lunches will be provided by the children’s parents every day. North Beach Kids has a cold food area for preparation of morning and afternoon snacks, as well as lunch if child has forgotten his/her lunch. The kitchen area is equipped with a refrigerator and freezer for food storage, cold and hot water sink, and a microwave. The facility does not have a stove. Parents are asked to bring in a nutritious lunch/dinner every day in a lunchbox clearly labeled with your child’s name. North Beach Kids will provide morning and afternoon snacks. These will include a healthy variety of fruit, focaccia bread, muffins, goldfish, cereal, pretzels, crackers, cheese, as well as gluten free options.  Water will be provided with all snacks. Please inform the Director of any food allergies.

 

Medication Policy

North Beach Kids’ staff will dispense medication only with written consent by the parent. All medications must be clearly labeled with the child’s name.  Parents are responsible for keeping a child home when there is  any doubt about a child’s health. A child that does not feel well enough to participate comfortably in the day’s activities needs to remain at home. Please keep children at home if they have: a contagious infection, a fever, vomiting, diarrhea, heavy continuous nasal discharge or a constant cough. A child must be free from all symptoms for 24 hours before returning to the program.

 

Services to be Provided if a Child Has a Medical or Dental Emergency

If an emergency arises, a qualified staff administers first aid care, calls the parents, and if necessary emergency medical personnel. Staff will accompany the child to the nearest hospital where emergency treatment is administered. The staff will remain with the child until the parent arrives. If the parents/guardians are unable to be contacted, we will then try to contact the child’s Emergency Contacts provided.  The child’s current Consent for Medical/Dental Treatment form (LIC 627) will be on file in the case of emergencies.  All records will be kept available on-site in a dedicated administrative area. In the event neither parent can be reached, the child’s physician will be contacted. An accident report log is kept at the front desk with detailed information on any injury to a child. An incident report is kept in the log, in the child’s file, and a copy given to the parent within 24 hours of any injury.

 

Sign-in / Sign-out Procedures

Parents are required by California law to sign their children in and out each day. The person will use a full legal signature when signing in/out and will record the time of day. If a person from the authorization list picks up the child, photo identification may be required. If an alternate not on the authorization list needs to pick up the child, written notice will be given to the center at drop off. All sign-in / sign-out records will be kept available on-site in a dedicated administrative area.

 

Admission Policies

North Beach Kids accepts applications for enrollment throughout the year; however, our official school year begins August 1st.  Students may enroll at any time through the year, provided space is available.  Enrollment will be granted without discrimination in regard to sex, race, color, religion, or beliefs.  

 

Applicants who wish to have their name placed on the North Beach Kids waiting list must submit a completed enrollment form. Admission will be granted on the basis of availability. Parents/guardians will be notified by phone when space becomes available. The below paperwork must be completed and submitted for enrollment. Medical reports and emergency contact information must be current at all times. (*additional forms are required for infants). 

 

  • Completed registration form

– 3 Polio     – 4 DTaP        – 3 Hep B        – 1 MMR, on or after the first birthday        – 1 Hib, on or after the first birthday        – 1 Varicella (chickenpox)

 

All copies of records will be kept available on-site in a dedicated administrative area.

 

Discipline Policies

Treating children as individuals and discussing their choices is what we feel works best at North Beach Kids. Helping the children learn compassion and understanding for their fellow classmates is the goal of NBK. Children will be encouraged to learn problem-solving skills and become self- correcting. They will be given the opportunity to choose alternatives that will enable them to participate in a socially acceptable manner without reinforcing their negative behavior. Staff will use positive enforcement while supervising children, encouraging them to cooperate and continue using appropriate behaviors. Children will be redirected to an alternate activity if their behavior continues to be inappropriate. 

 

If the situation becomes dangerous for anyone involved, then the child will be removed from the situation.  The child will be placed quietly to reflect on the situation before discussing the situation again, all while being supervised by a staff member.  If the situation continues to be of concern or escalates, the child’s parents/guardians will be contacted.

 

Physical / corporal punishment is never an option! Communication is key to a strong working relationship between the teachers and parents/guardians.  We encourage parents to visit North Beach Kids any time. We are more than happy to share any information about your child, how their day went, what they ate, etc.  Teacher conferences can be requested at any time during the year by the parent or teacher.  

 

Grounds for Dismissal:

The school reserves the right to dismiss a child from attendance for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, health, lack of adjustment to the preschool setting, behavior that disrupts the cooperative climate of the classroom or delinquency of the tuition account.

Yes, I would book again.

If you are considering this venue just do your future self a favor and book it. It’s amazing. This review has been cut down to fit the character limit, I could rave on and on about how great it is. We hosted a 9am “toddler rager” with about 65-80 guests.
Peter was responsive from the very beginning of the process, even prior to booking. A joy to work with on every step of the way!
Arrival/setup was seamless and convenient. Guests used the nearby paid parking and found the front door easily from the detailed directions provided. The space was cleaned right before our event, it was spotless.
The space itself is a dream! It’s a little kids’ paradise with plenty of comfortable seating for adults. It allowed the little guests to run around with minimal supervision, which meant there was time for actual adult conversation (a rarity at most birthday parties!). Everything was so perfectly tailored to toddlers that everyone found a way to have fun, the shyer kids had a corner for books while the runners and climbers entertained themselves outside.
Indoor cleanup was a little daunting, but because of the meticulous labelling it was easy to get everything back where it belonged. I’d suggest budgeting about half an hour with 2 adults to reset the toys.
Some fun bonus features:
•the potties were complimented many times by grownups and kids alike
• the whole place photographs beautifully
• loved being able to play music from a phone
10/10 would book again.

Financial Analyst

Yes, I would book again.

We loved the space for our baby shower. The host was accommodating yet hands off. The space was perfect – a little outcove for decorations, plenty of space for the kids. The playground is definitely the highlight and we received wonderful feedback from our guests. It was clean, super private amidst the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, yet conveniently located next to a parking garage and Stockton st shops. Nice amenities on-site (water fountains, restrooms, Wi-Fi etc) were all in perfect functioning order! I would book this space again!

Associate Director

Yes, I would book again.

We had a wonderful experience this past Saturday at the playground. My son and his friends had so much fun – the play ground is up to date, safe, and has various activities for the kids to keep the kids busy and engaged. Because the space is contained, the adults enjoyed being able to relax and not worry about any toddlers running off.
The bathroom facilities were perfect for families with small children and everything was clean and very up-to-date. There’s a great speaker system as well, so we had the jams going.
Peter, the host, is very responsive and helpful. He was great at communicating and I’d highly recommend booking with him.

August 6, 2022

Yes, I would book again.

What can I say? This place was such a hit among our guests! We hosted a birthday party for 40 people and the kids didn’t want to leave. Had to extend the booking time to make sure everyone got their share of fun. Peter was such a great host and very accommodating. The venue was clean, well equipped and convenient. Would love to book again in the future.

May 7, 2022

Yes, I would book again.

He was super responsive and easy to communicate with. Everything at the event space was great and our party loved the space. Highly recommend reserving this space if you can.

Mom to Harper and Rowan

Yes, I would book again.

This is a perfect space for hosting a child’s birthday party. The playground and amenities are wonderful. Being able to park in the alley was incredibly helpful.

April 24, 2022

Yes, I would book again.

The space was the best location to celebrate our son’s 2nd birthday. We really enjoyed our time. Also, so many of our guests commented they were able to relax and not worry about their kids, as the place was very safe, enclosed, and full of activities. The small room next to the playground was perfect for setting up food and drinks. The bathrooms and kitchen were very clean and spacious.
The service from Peter was excellent – he was very responsive, answered all my questions/ provided suggestions, and shared photos/ videos of the space. When we arrived, he ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy the space.

March 20, 2022

Yes, I would book again.

This spot is an absolute oasis in a bustling part of the city! Everyone had so much fun and were in awe of the space because it’s safe, private, colorful and so clean with a spongy ground, so no sand or grass to worry about with babies/toddlers. Tables and chairs were ready to be used, there are lots of great toys and play structures for little ones, and you can easily get deliveries for food/decor, and have adult drinks which was a huge plus. Even the bathrooms have a wow factor that people couldn’t stop talking about! Setup and cleanup were super easy because Peter is amazing to work with. He is so friendly, organized and helpful and got our phone hooked up to the music system right after we arrived which we hadn’t thought about. Had the feel of throwing a chill party in your backyard but with way better amenities. Couldn’t have dreamed of a better 1st birthday for my child. Highly recommend!

What are travelers I visited Children’s North Beach with my parents.”

July 2019

When my dad was being treated at hospital No. 40 in Sestroretsk, I he, as well as my dear mother, the three of us visited this beach, located near the Time Out restaurant on the outskirts of Sestroretsk. First, we sat on a bench by the water, and then went to a nearby sports ground, having examined it as well. All this was quite good.

“Cute little beach”

aug. 2018

Came here on the last hot day of this summer August 10, 2018
The beach is sandy, the water in the spill is clean, but slightly peaty. Along the coast is quite shallow, safe for kids.
The beach has cabanas, a volleyball net, a playground with benches and trash cans. There are even lifeguards with a boat.
But the toilet could not be found.
There is no trade on the beach. Across the road is a supermarket “Pyaterochka” and a restaurant “Eurasia”. You can get there via a pedestrian crossing. Near the beach there is a parking lot and another one opposite the shops.

Primorskoye shosse near the Time-out restaurant there is the Northern Beach, which is very popular among family residents of St. Petersburg.

It looks more like a swimming pool, which is usually built in resort areas next to the sea – a small beach on Razliv Lake, where there are almost no waves, it is always quiet and calm here. What you need for a family holiday: a restaurant nearby, adult and children’s sandy beaches and a rental shop where you can rent various sports equipment at a reasonable price. The area itself is perfectly located: nearby is a spa hotel, parking and much more, a show program is organized on the beach on weekends.

The little paddling pool is one of the reasons why many people choose North Beach for families. It is limited by buoys, the approach to the water is gentle and soft, which makes it absolutely safe for children. In addition, there is a special playground for kids.

The best beaches of North Goa: photo and description

Everyone knows that Goa is not an island? This is a state of India, one of the smallest. However, this “small” state has given the world 100 km of uninterrupted beaches, which are simply unrealistic to drive around in a few weeks. The whole Goa is divided into 2 parts: South Goa and North Goa. The airport is right in the middle.

They say that the beaches of South Goa are cleaner and more suitable for the definition of “bounty”, which our compatriots are so eager for. But there are also disadvantages in South Goa: there is an order of magnitude less housing than in North Goa, mostly these will be expensive hotels aimed at European and Russian middle-aged tourists and families with children. Also in South Goa, things are bad with shops, and it will be very difficult to find the same famous Indian cosmetics or Indian Ayurveda there.

During our three-week stay in Goa, we never made it to the southern regions. Therefore, in this article we will talk about the beaches of North Goa. Maharashtra state. But among the guests and residents of North Goa, it is so popular that we decided to include it in this list. Moreover, it is only 16 km away from Arambol. By the way, on the map this beach is called Shiroda Beach.

This beach is without a doubt the best beach on this list. There are no such crowds of tourists here, and the beach itself compares favorably with the rest with crisp sand and azure sea. There are also no palm trees on this beach, and pine trees grow instead. Very unusual!

Now hotels are already beginning to appear here, many signs in Russian: everything says that this beach will soon cease to be such a paradise.

But for now, here is paradise. And we found the most beautiful shells that we brought from Goa on this beach. Not far from the beach there is a famous attraction – Redi Fort (we talked about it in the article about the sights of Goa). Read also more about Paradise Beach.

Kerim Beach

Kerim Beach is the northernmost beach in Goa, located at the mouth of the Terakol River, which must be crossed to enter the neighboring state of Maharashtra. It looks like Paradise Beach: here, instead of palm trees, coniferous trees grow.

This beach is not very famous among foreign tourists, usually Indians themselves rest here. But since they don’t usually swim in the sea or sunbathe, the whole coast looks rather deserted. On the beach there are sun loungers with awnings.

Kalach Beach

The beach is located right behind the rocks of Arambol on the north side. To get there, you need to go through a busy market on a cliff.

Behind these rocks of Arambola begins Kalacha Beach

The beach is quite beautiful, although quite small. It is limited by rocks on both sides, and nudists like to sunbathe on the rocks on the north side.

They say that earlier the entire Kalach beach belonged to nudists, but over time they were forced out onto the rocks. And on the beach they built a cafe and put sunbeds, which are rented to vacationers for 30 rupees .

And the fact that it is from him that you can get to the world-famous woman (respected old man), who has been sitting under the Banyan for 40 years.

The sand here is pleasant, there is a lot of dry sand: just right for children. Far from all the beaches of North Goa can boast of having dry sand, and for children (and for some adults) this item is very important: burrowing into hot sand is so nice!

Arambol Beach

Goa’s most famous party beach. It is here that the most creative and extraordinary people settle. Arambol is famous for its Drum Circle, which gathers daily at sunset and accompanies the sun with its rhythm.

Arambol’s famous beach market is located next to the drum circle. Here everyone can put their creativity on public display and even earn money on it.

We ourselves chose Arambol as the place of our three-week stay in Goa, since all the most interesting things happen here. Here we found excellent apartments with a Russian hostess and a wonderful Coco Villa kindergarten, where Vanya studied with a tutor in order to keep up with classmates during the trip.

There are a lot of cafes (sheks) on Arambol. The most pleasant thing is to sit in sheks right on the shore and dine on some delicious Indian dishes while watching the sunset.

Sunsets on Arambol

Arambol has the most diverse shopping: everyone knows this. There is a very large market where you can buy a variety of souvenirs and gifts, and there are also many shops that sell essential goods, Indian cosmetics and Ayurveda.

But shopping in Arambol does not end with the market and shops: even on the beach, numerous beach vendors will not let you relax. They sell anything: fruits, coconuts, pareos and torn, bracelets, drums … But we have to admit that they are quite “cultured”: if you firmly say “no, thank you”, they will no longer torture you (as, for example, in Vietnam), but simply move on to the next victim.

The beach itself in Arambol is not very good: the beach strip is wide, but there is practically no dry sand. Every day in the morning we observed the tide when the sea approached almost the cafes, and at low tide (every evening) the sea goes about 200 meters away from these shacks.

Only on Arambol we saw such a large number of starfish: there are millions of them!

And we were also lucky to meet Flamingo here and was not lucky – the sea snake:

9000 9000 9000 9000 Mandrem

Arambol beach smoothly merges into Mandrem beach. You won’t see any boundaries. The beginning of Mandrem can be distinguished by the appearance of a small river near the sea. Its width and depth change depending on the ebb and flow of the tides. Throughout the entire Mandrem there are many bridges along which you can cross the river and get to coastal cafes and hotels.

Families with children love to settle in Mandrem, as there are small and shallow bays along the entire coastline of the beach where children can safely splash around.

Mandrem ends with small rocks (one might say, stones), behind which the next beach begins – Ashvem.

Ashvem Beach

A sparsely populated and quiet beach in North Goa. There are no huge stones on the beach (which are found on almost all the beaches of North Goa), so sunbathing and swimming on Ashvem is a pleasure. It is suitable for those who are looking for a quiet and secluded holiday.

But it is worth considering that there are few housing and shops here. But there are also practically no annoying beach vendors, which is a huge plus.

Morjim Beach

The most Russian beach in all of Goa. Here is the so-called “Russian” village, where our compatriots settle. They say that the locals even call this beach “Moscow Beach”: there are so many Russian speakers here.

Prices for housing and goods on the market are higher here than in the same Arambol: again, due to the large concentration of Russians.

The beach itself in Morjim is good: the gradual depth and wide beach strip make it very suitable for families with children. Moreover, there is a Russian kindergarten on the territory of the village of Morjim.

There are a lot of Russian cafes here that don’t really bother with names: Nasha Russia, Glavfish, Tchaikovsky. Apparently, they should evoke notes of nostalgia in the Russian soul and attract them with this.

Vagator Beach

There are two sights of Goa on this beach: Chapora Fort and the face of Shiva on the stones (we wrote about them in this article).

The beach is divided into two parts: Big Vagator – the closest beach to Chapora Fort and Little Vagator or Ozran beach – this is where the face of Shiva is located.

Vagator and neighboring Anjuna are the first beaches of Goa, open hippies. It was here that this movement began, at that time nothing was known about Arambol. Therefore, it is on Vagator Beach at 19In the 60s, an Italian sculptor (who, by the way, came here from Italy on foot) carved the famous face of Shiva.

In these photos, it seems that Shiva’s face is huge

In fact, it is so

Vagator Beach is beautiful: the rocks extending into the sea can serve as an excellent backdrop for photo shoots. But for children, this beach, as it seemed to us, is not suitable. Swimming in the sea in many places is dangerous because of the sharp rocks, and the sand here is only wet. And there are a lot of cows on Vagator Beach, like no other beach. They feel at home here, no one is chasing them (as, for example, on Arambol).

Cows are friends with local crows:

Anjuna Beach

It was from Anjuna that the “settlement” of Goa by visiting hippies began (60-70 years of the last century). Then a variety of people from various countries rushed to India: some for spiritual enlightenment, some for a slick life, some to study the oldest culture in the world. And these people got to know each other, communicated with each other. And one day it happened that all these people agreed to celebrate Christmas together in Goa, namely in Anjuna. And they liked it so much that many decided to stay here for a month, a season, or for the rest of their lives (like the sculptor Anthony Karoli, who carved the face of Shiva in the rock).

Now most of the “party people” have migrated to Arambol, but Anjuna is still very popular with creative “out of this world” people.

a cow again…

There is a famous Flea Market in Anjuna: it also originates in the distant 70s, the times of hippies. At that time, many visiting freedom-loving people, having spent everything cleanly, did not have money for a return ticket. And in order to collect this money, they began to sell everything that could be sold: their valuables, clothes, or hand-made things that they made themselves. This market still exists, although it has turned into an ordinary day market, where tourists can buy souvenirs, clothes, tea, spices, etc. from local residents. Today Flea Market is the largest market in all of Goa.

Baga Beach

Baga Beach is famous for its unusual brown sand. The beach owes its name to the river of the same name, which flows here and flows into the Arabian Sea (it is also the Indian Ocean). Locals, who are afraid of the open ocean, and kids love to swim in this river.

Baga is a noisy, party place: there is everything for tourists: bars, shops, markets, massage parlors and a rich nightlife with trendy DJs and discos.

The beach is very crowded: there are many tourists and merchants. Beach parties often take place right on the sand. On this beach there is a club Titos, very famous among all tourists and locals. For families with children, it is rather unsuitable.

Calangute Beach

Calangute is known for its shops, restaurants and nightclubs. Unfortunately, only here you can find real branded stores, and not local shops with dubious quality clothes.

Calangute is more popular with Indians than with tourists. The city and the beach are beautiful. But the dirt that numerous Indians leave behind and the manure that is not cleaned up after the cows on the local beach scare away our and European tourists.
