We understand that parenting arrangements can change over time. Should the legal custody status of a child enrolled at First Circle be changed by court order, we must receive a copy of legal documents immediately. We cannot withhold release of a child to their parent without legal documentation. Once official custodial papers are obtained, we will work with parents to develop a plan to comply with the legal requirements. All administrators, front office staff, and the child’s teachers will be informed of the custody change. If a parent legally loses custody of a child, steps will immediately be taken to revoke the non-authorized parent’s method of access to the center.
