Closing Holidays

Parents Responsibilities

Before your child can begin daycare, there are six forms that you must fill out completely and return on the first day of care. These forms are:

 

1 Child Care Home Register (Please include email address)

2 Certificate of Immunization

3 Permission Form

4 Child Care Agreement

5 USDA Food Program Enrollment Form

6 Signed copy of these policy & procedures

 

     These forms are a must and there can be no exceptions. All children’s records are kept confidential. Staff will have access to children’s files for medical administration or emergencies. Parents may have access to any information / records regarding your child.

I am open 24 hours Monday-Friday. Typically, we open at 3am Monday morning and close at 6pm on Friday evening.  I am quite flexible with children coming and going as parents need…so long as I have the capacity to provide this flexibility. I do need to have my own family time so, please don’t take advantage of my flexibility.

     In consideration of our family times, I will charge a late fee if you are continually late to pick up your children. The exception to this is an emergency. The late fee will be $10.00 per hour you are late. If you think you might be running a few minutes late, please call us to make sure we have no other commitment or that our schedule permits. With our 24 hours M-F schedule we may have children scheduled for care after your child is scheduled to leave.

All children are to be delivered INTO MY HOME and signed in on the Sign In/Out sheets provided for you with the parent’s full legal signature and the time. All children are to be picked up inside my home and signed out with the parent’s full legal signature and the time. I cannot release any child to any person who is not authorized to pick them up and listed on the enrollment form. If someone on your authorization form is picking up your child whom I have not met I will ask for photo ID at pickup. Parents have access to all licensed space.

  I will not discriminate based on any religion, sex, sexual orientation, creed, color, national origin, marital status, age, or the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability or use of a trained guide dog or service animal of any child or family member. All children’s families are represented in the things we see, do, read, and hear. We welcome and encourage diversity, so we may learn from it.

Everyone lies down at rest time. Please don’t ask me to exclude your child from quiet time, if your child is not of napping age; they will be offered storybooks to read during quiet time. Naps are provided on cots in either our playroom or living room. Each child has their own sleeping slumber bag and pillow that are sanitized weekly.

Federal Law (and my conscience) requires me to report any suspected injury, child neglect, abandonment, food poisoning, or death to the proper authorities. I take this duty very, very seriously for the sake of the children. If I report any suspected case of abuse or neglect, I will have done so in good honor. Myself and my assistants are mandated reporters by law.

I will not practice any forms of religion with your child.  If your child chooses to say a prayer before a meal (for example) that is fine with me. That choice is between you and your child and I will respect it. We do celebrate most Holidays and seasons throughout the year, including those of other cultures. To celebrate we learn through a curriculum unit, may throw a party, do crafts and talk about the holiday.  Parents are encouraged to share ideas about their culture. If you would prefer your child did not take part, please let me know.
