Critique the two versions of the “late” policy and procedure for Seneca’s Lab School. Which version is written more clearly? List what you would change to make this version even better.

Version One
The ECE Lab School closes promptly at 6:00pm. All children must be picked up before that time and should have left the building by 6:00pm. We acknowledge that from time to time, emergencies arise and parents are unable to be here on time (or to make last minute arrangements for an alternate pick-up). If you are late picking up your child the staff will ask you to sign a form proving she or he had to work late to provide care for your child. The form identifies the time you left the ECE Lab School, the staff on duty, and the reason for your lateness. There is a late fee of $15.00 per family for the first five (5) minutes and an additional charge of $5.00 per family for every one minute (1) thereafter. This fee must be made payable to Seneca College ECE Lab School at the time of pick-up. What happens after 6.00pm? In the case that a child is still here at 6:30pm, and the Lab School staff cannot contact the parent(s) or a parent has not been in contact with the Lab School, we will attempt to reach the emergency contacts for the child. If by 7:00pm there has been no contact with a parent of the child, nor with any of the emergency contacts, the child will be assumed to have been abandoned. The Lab School Manager or designate will call the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) to notify them and will follow the directions of the assigned agent from CAS.

Version two:
The ECE Lab School closes at 6:00 p.m. We acknowledge that from time-totime emergencies arise and families are unable to be here on time (or to make last minute arrangements for an alternate pick-up). If you are late picking up your child, the Lab School employee will ask you to sign a form confirming the time your child was picked up, the educator who stayed late with your child, and the late fee owed. There is a late fee of $15.00 per family up to the first five (5) minutes late and an additional charge of $5.00 for every one minute (1) thereafter. Families will see this fee on their next invoice. In the case that a child is still at the Lab School at 6:30 p.m. and the employees have not been able to reach the child’s primary contacts, we will attempt to reach the designated alternate emergency contacts. If by 7:00 p.m. there has been no contact with a family of the child, or with any of the designated emergency contacts, the Lab School Manager or designate will follow protocol and contact the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) to notify them and will follow the directions of the assigned agent.
