Information About Children
Daniel Island Academy provides childcare and preschool programs for young children. Because of the nature of our services, parents and guardians may provide information about their children through website forms, including a child’s name and date of birth.
The website is intended for use by parents, guardians, employees, and other adults, not for independent use by children under 13.
Daniel Island Academy does not knowingly ask children under 13 to independently submit personal information through the public website. Information about a child submitted through enrollment inquiries or other family-related forms should be provided by the child’s parent, legal guardian, or another authorized adult.
If we learn that personal information has been submitted directly by a child under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, remove the information.
Forms and Communications
Daniel Island Academy uses website forms to receive inquiries and other information.
Information submitted through a form may be stored within the website and/or transmitted to authorized Daniel Island Academy personnel so that we can respond to the request.
Please do not submit sensitive medical, financial, Social Security, or other highly sensitive information through a general website contact form unless the form specifically requests that information and is intended for that purpose.

We use analytics information to evaluate website performance, identify technical issues, understand general usage patterns, and improve the website and its content.
Analytics data may be collected through cookies or similar technologies.

These services may include website hosting, WordPress plugins and functionality, website analytics, online forms, security tools, learning or staff-training functionality, and other technology necessary to operate the website.
