The Bethlehem Area School District’s Child Care Centers serve as a home away from home where children can play and learn. The centers are a safe place for parents to leave children knowing they will be well cared for and happy. The Child Care Centers are an extension of the home not a substitute for the home. The Child Care staff see both parents and children as integral parts of the child care family.
As a program of the Bethlehem Area School District the Child Care Program is expected to follow the guidelines as set forth in the “K-12 Student Code of Conduct.” The focus is a framework for citizenship which includes universal values excellence global understanding and community service. Appropriate interpretation and application will be used for our Child Care Centers.
