<br />. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Haven Hill Daycare <br /> <br />Re: Our Program and Neighbors' Concerns <br /> <br />Haven Hill is a learning center for children of ages 3-5. It is a well-structured and fully <br />supervised program run by qualified teachers. A detailed catalog oflesson plans and <br />schedule of activities already exists. <br /> <br />Below are our responses to specific questions raised at the Planning Commission hearing <br />held on April 3, 2002: <br /> <br />1. Hours of Operation: Hours of operation for the DaycarelLeaming <br />Center will be from 7:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. We do not intend to <br />Start at 6:00 a.m. as contemplated by some of the neighbors. <br /> <br />2. Noise: Haven Hill's goal is to provide a serious learning and <br />growth environment for the children. We will operate in a <br />disciplined environment, and approximately 90% of our time will <br />be spent indoors. A constantly supervised, fenced, outdoor play area will be <br />used (weather permitting) for approximately 30-45 minutes once a day during <br />winter and up to three times a day during summer. <br /> <br />3 Keeping Our Space: The children will either be indoors or in a <br />fully-fenced outdoor play area. Under no condition will children <br />be allowed to leave the Pilgrim House premises and enter neighbors' property. <br /> <br />4. Number of Children: In order to have a viable program to serve <br />the community, we need to have a license for 20 children; i.e. up to <br />20 children may be enrolled at a given time. Based on our <br />experience, we do not expect to have more than 12-15 children <br />present at any given time. <br /> <br />We have a vision to provide an excellent, educational daycare program that will offer the <br />children of the community a loving and secure environment where they can grow <br />spiritually, emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually. It will have the small- <br />group setting of a home daycare, and the structure and curriculum of a pre-school. We <br />believe that many families in the area will benefit from this opportunity. <br /> <br />To the best of our knowledge, such a program does not yet exist in this area. We are <br />committed to being sensitive to our neighbors and hope to be recognized as a good <br />neighbor ourselves. <br /> <br />QI,'-L ()UOfr.) <br /> <br />JubsOnIDirector <br />
