Is Paradise Island Kids a Licensed Daycare?
No, Paradise Island Kids is exempt from Mass Daycare License. We are a business similar to Kumon or Arts/Music. Our teachers pass the highest standards and have thorough Background Checks as well as years of prior experience with kids and excellent references. Our facility is state of the art-we have sprinklers, proper means of egress, handicap accessibility, and many other policies and procedures set in place to ensure safety for all of our students and staff. We will never have more kids in the facility than allowed by the fire code/fire marshal. We hold a current food license provided by the Board of Health. We undergo regular reviews by the state to ensure we are abiding by all food establishment and child establishment policies for businesses.
What are the age groups for classes and events at Paradise Island Kids?
All age groups are listed in each class or event description. By serving a range of students with a chronological-age span, the norm becomes a wide range of abilities rather than the expectation that everyone is at the same level. A student may be ahead of or behind his chronological peers, but the program has teachers and materials available that are appropriate to the needs of every student, regardless of where he or she falls on the spectrum of abilities. It is not unusual that a student is working quickly through one activity but much more slowly through another. The mixed-age classroom is like a family: the older students nurture the younger ones and motivate them. There is no more effective reading teacher for the new first-grader than the experienced third-grader who is proud of his skills. And, as most teachers know, the best way to improve one’s knowledge or abilities in a subject is to teach the subject to others…so the third grader also benefits.
What about food?
If your child is taking a cooking/baking class, they will be able to try their treats. If you do not want your child to eat anything at PIK, please let a staff member know ahead of time & you can take treats home in a to go container. You may bring any snacks into PIK as long as they are NUT FREE.
​
What if my child has allergies, medical conditions or other special needs?
When you register, please list all allergies and special needs your child has so we can ensure we can provide a safe environment for your child. PIK is a NUT FREE facility and none of our snacks and cooking/baking classes contain nuts. Aside from that, you need to let us know on the registration if your child has any allergies/sensitivities, please take this into account when signing them up for classes.
How do I let you know something specific about my child?
On the registration form on the comments /additional info, section-please list all necessary and useful information we should know about your child so we can be aware and ensure the best experience for your child.
What is your refund or change policy?

What are waiting list rules?
