Parents often find carpooling convenient. The preschool assumes no responsibility for arranging carpools, but will be glad to furnish information to parents seeking to form one. If you are in a carpool, please see that your child’s teacher and the office have the following information (as required by the state of Tennessee Licensure requirements):

Names of parents/guardians driving each day. (The driver is expected to act as mother substitute for all children in the carpool on the day she drives. She should follow all procedures for parents outlined in the handbook.)

Berry’s Chapel Teachers or Staff are not permitted to transport children to or from school.

All children in the care of Berry’s Chapel Preschool are, because of their age, required to be transported in a car seat. Berry’s Chapel will not load a child for dismissal into anywhere a child will not be properly restrained. Berry’s Chapel is required by law to report to the proper authorities any child who could be in danger because of riding in a car not properly restrained or with a driver who is impaired in any way.
