MEDICAL & HEALTH ISSUES
Immunization records are to kept on file at the Center. These records are required on your child's first day at the Center. It is the responsibility of the parent to update these records when they expire and to provide the Center with a current certificate. "Childcare centers are sighted by the state for all records that are expired."
Medications can be given only with a parent's daily consent. We will not give medications that are not in their origional labeled containers and will not alter the dosage according to the label. A Doctor's statement is necessary if you wish to give your child a differing dosage. A Doctor's statement is also necessary for all prescription medications.



ILLNESSES
Your child can not attend on days which they may have any contagious infections which include, but not limited to: flu,pink eye or other condition causing a discharge from the eye, severe colds, chicken pox, mumps, measles, diarrhea, ring worm, and/or fever of 100.1 or greater. Children are to be kept out of the Center for a period of 24 hours after the illness has resolved. A Doctor's statement may be necessary in some cases in order for your child to return to our care.

Mary Had little lamb,
she also had the flu.
And when she left her day care,
the others had it too.
So anytime your child is sick,
please keep her home with you.
Then the children in our day care
will be happier and healthier too!



VACATIONS
Each family is allowed a week vacation each year out of the Center without charge.i.e., we will care for your child free of charge for one week. Your child's first day at the Center will be used to determine vacation availabilty. Yor child must be enrolled for one year before you will be eligible to use the vacation week. A two weeks written notice is to be given to the Director prior to using your vacation week.



WITHDRAWAL
A two week written notice is to be given to the Director prior to your child's withdrawal. You will be charged in full for two weeks tuition that your child did not attend if proper notice is not given.

DISCIPLINE
Our methode of teaching the children self-discipline is to use positive reinforcement and re-direction. There is never physical punishment or threat of physical punishment. Co-operation and frequent communication between parents and staff provides consistency and promotes a good self image within the child. If behavior problems should occur that we consider to be not age appropriate and or are unable to resolve the issues in question with the parents, we reserve the right to ask you to withdraw your child from our care. This is to ensure the safety of all the children we care for including yours.



Our policy is to consider all applicants for enrollment to attend our Centers without regard to race, religion, sex, or national origin. Our Centers are designed to meet the needs of the children and their parents in our community.
Please always feel free to set up conferences with your child's teacher or speak to the Director about your childcare needs. We will be giving a $25.00 credit on childcare fees to each parent that has a family (more than 1 child) to enroll in the Center.
