Leave Policy

Effective Date: 01 November 2026

At Little Learners Lab, early childhood learning thrives on daily routines, group activities, and consistent social interaction. While we understand that young children may occasionally need time off due to illness or family commitments, regular attendance helps your child adapt quickly to the school environment and build confidence.

1. Categories of Leave & Procedures

A . Planned / Short-Term Leave (1 to 3 Days)

• Notice Required: Written notice or a message sent through the official school communication channel (WhatsApp/App/Email) at least 24 hours in advance.
• Valid Reasons: Family events, religious observances, travel, or scheduled medical appointments. 

B . Extended Planned Leave (More than 3 Days)

• Notice Required: Must be submitted at least 1 week prior to the intended leave dates.
• Approval: Requires formal approval from the School Administrator or Principal.
• Academic Continuity: The class teacher will provide light activity sheets or reading suggestions to help keep the child engaged during prolonged absences.

C . Sick Leave & Health Safety

Child health and infection control are top priorities at Little Learners Lab.

• Immediate Intimation: Parents must inform the school by 8:30 AM on the morning of absence if the child is unwell.
• Medical Certificate: For any illness lasting 3 consecutive days or more, a medical fitness certificate from a registered practitioner must be submitted before the child resumes school.
• Contagious Illness Protocol: If your child contracts a contagious condition (e.g., Chicken Pox, Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease, Flu, Conjunctivitis, Measles, Viral Fever, etc,.. ), please keep them home until they are fully recovered and symptom-free for at least 24 hours without medication. A clearance certificate from the doctor is required prior to return.

2. Early Pickup & Half-Day Leave

To minimize disruption to classroom routines and nap/activity schedules: 

• Short Leave/Half-Day: Generally discouraged unless there is a valid reason (e.g., medical emergency, doctor appointment).
•  Verification: Only authorized parents/guardians listed on the school registration form will be allowed to pick up the child early.
• Gate Pass: The parent/guardian must sign the Early Departure Register at the administrative counter before taking the child.

3.  Continuous Uninformed Absence

• 2 Days of Absence: The class teacher will contact the parents to check on the child’s well-being.
• 5 Consecutive Days without Notice: A formal reminder will be issued by the school management. If no response or formal application is received within 10 working days, the management reserves the right to review the child’s enrollment status.

4. Fee Policy During Extended Leave

• Tuition Fees: School fees (monthly/termly) remain applicable in full even if a child takes extended personal leave during the term, as seat allocation and operational resources are reserved for the child continuously.
