I will provide well
balanced and nutritious meals and snacks

I will maintain an
Infant/Child CPR and First-aid Certificate at all times.
-
I will implement fire
and tornado drills monthly for the safety of the children.
-
I will lock up all
medication, cleaners and other items dangerous to children at all times.
-
I will keep your
family’s information confidential.
-
I will keep you
informed of your child’s daily routine by providing daily journal entries as
well as providing you with any letters, memos, reminders etc.
-
I will inform you in
advance if I am temporarily unable to provide child care because of illness
or emergency. I recommend that parent’s have their own child care back-up.
-
I will notify you if
your child becomes ill during the day. I will ask you to come and pick up
your child as soon as possible, in the event your child becomes ill in care.
-
I also reserve the
right to refuse care for a child that is obviously ill for the protection of
other children in my home, my family, and myself.
-
I will notify you
immediately if your child has come in contact with any communicable disease
or illness.
-
Scratches and scrapes
are inevitable when children play or learn to walk. Minor accidents will be
treated with antiseptic and a band-aid or ice and lots of TLC!
-
For anything more
serious you will be notified immediately.
-
In case of an
emergency situation, 911 will be contacted first; you will then be contacted
and told of the emergency so you will be able to meet your child at the
hospital.
-
I will record all
payments made for child care in a write receipt. Each family is responsible
to keeping track of each receipt given.
-
I am required by law
to notify Child Protective Services in the event of suspected abuse or
neglect. If a parent comes to pick up their child and they are under the
influence of drugs or alcohol, I will refuse to release the child to them
and the police will be notified immediately.
-
I assure you that I
will give your child(ren) attention, affection and an educational
environment in order for them to grow happy and healthy during the time that
he/she is at my home daycare.
-
This policy is subject
to a periodic review. Changes may occur at any time and parents will receive
the revisions immediately and be required to sign and date any revisions
promptly.
-
For
the safety of the children I keep the daycare door locked when everyone is
inside.
