The Wooden Shoe Minibus Transportation
System
undergoes bi-annual inspection of all school buses as required by the
New York State Department of Transportation. The New York State Department
of Motor Vehicles ensures that our drivers are certified,
responsible, cautious adults with a CDL license. Our buses are equipped
with all the latest safety devices. Each driver is provided with a cellular
phone so two-way communication is always possible. Door-to-door service
is available upon request. All children under the age of four are required
to be secured in a federally approved car seat. Each driver's license
is reviewed and reported to the school each year. All bus drivers are
fingerprinted, certified in CPR, basic First Aid, and school bus safety
training. A "behind the wheel" driving test as well as a written
exam pertaining to all current school bus regulations is required annually.
All our bus drivers are employed by The Wooden Shoe and are not contracted
by an outside transportation company. They are mandated to follow federal
guidelines for random testing for drug and alcohol use.
Playground Facilities
at The Wooden Shoe are age appropriate. Both of our outdoor playgrounds
are arranged to be stimulating, safe, and fun for your child. Younger
children enjoy the sandbox, playhouse, riding toys and climbing areas
designed specifically for them in one yard, while the older children climb,
ride and play on equipment designed to challenge their physical
abilities.
Vacation Day Care Accommodations
The Wooden Shoe follows the local public school calendar. We will, upon
request, supply parents with a list of staff members who are available
to make private day care arrangements for official school closings.
Parent Participation
We promote an "Open Door Policy" with parents. You are always
welcome to observe your child's class via our closed circuit cameras.
We also offer many opportunities for you to participate in The Wooden
Shoe experience: Get Acquainted Day; Orientation/Back-to-School
Night; Spring Gathering; Teacher/Parent Conferences; Field Trip Volunteers;
Parenting Workshops and Library; Growing Together
Newsletter; Progress Reports.
Discipline Is Taught Through Positive Reinforcement
Children are guided by emphasizing what they must do and praising
good behavior. Inappropriate behavior is modified by redirection and
the cooperative efforts of teachers and parents.
Community Activities
As a vital part of the Valley Stream community, the Wooden Shoe
takes part in several local service programs.
