time keeping

English Other Education / Pedagogy
4e) Eventually, your child will be happy to say ‘goodbye’ and attend without you.

4f) Time keeping is very important - at the beginning as well as the end of the session.

4g) Regular attendance is key -this way, you will both get used to a routine and your child can get the very best from their school and the learning experience they are only just beginning

In which sense time keeping has been used here?

punctuality

It's not entirely clear to me from the context, but this would be my educated guess.

agree Robert Donahue (X) : I'm inclined to agree with you here. It's the only thing that makes sense from context. Swiss Tell and Linda are correct too, but this is the best one word answer.

agree Ian M-H (X) : arriving on time at the start of the day/session and collecting your child on time at the end

agree juvera : Ian has the right idea. The clue is point 4. The parent has to be punctual to bring and collect the (nursery school age) child. They have about 10 minutes for all the children to arrive before the start, the same to collect. No tolerance for lateness.

Being on time/ Being prompt

Usually "time keeping" is measuring time, but I'm sure from the context they mean "Don't be late".

not to arrive late, not to leave early

my interpretation
Peer comment(s):

neutral Charlie Bavington : somewhat restrictive - let us not forget the arriving early and leaving late possibilities.... :-)
