Registration Information
Purpose:
Parent Day Out (PDO) is a ministry of First Baptist Church Lee’s Summit, providing a
Christian environment in which young children can learn and grow. We teach Biblical
truths, while preparing children for school.
Objectives and Philosophies:
We provide for the spiritual growth and social advancement of each child.
We help children in the development of language, math and motor skills while
encouraging independence and self confidence.
We teach an appreciation for God, family, school, church, and community.
We help each child begin to know and appreciate God as our Creator and Lord, and to
recognize the joy of being a child of God.
We facilitate social experiences through which children can learn to respect self and
others and learn to solve problems acceptably.
Class Information:
Classes are grouped by birthdates and/or the developmental needs of the students. We
offer classes for children from 18 months of age through pre-kindergarten age.
Schedule:
Classes are held on Mondays and Wednesdays. School begins at 9:30am. Dismissal is
between 1:25 and 1:30pm. PDO follows the vacation and holiday schedule of the Lee’s
Summit School District. PDO will not be in session if the Lee’s Summit School District
cancels school due to inclement weather. If the school district releases school early due
to weather conditions, we will also close early. We will not be affected by the district’s
scheduled early release days.
Enrollment:
This program is open to children in the proper age categories regardless of race, color, or
creed.

Items To Bring To PDO:
A vinyl mat and a blanket are needed for rest time. All children should bring a change of
clothes, including underclothes, in case of an accident or spill. All personal items should
be clearly marked with the child’s name. Children should bring their lunches, including a
drink, each day with a cold pack to keep food fresh.
Car Pools:
Children are released only to the parent(s), unless written authorization was previously
given to the director. Car-pools are beneficial and encouraged; however, the director
must be informed of your arrangements so that your child will be released to the proper
caregiver(s). The PDO Office will keep a list of all car-pools on file. In case of
emergency, call the PDO Office and give verbal authorization to the director. Be aware
that the person picking up your child will be asked to give proper identification, i.e.
driver’s license, before the child will be released.
