Illness:
We try to do everything possible to keep the children healthy. When a child is sick, the best place for them is at home.  If your child becomes sick during the evening, please call us as soon as possible. If your child needs a special diet, please bring these items when you drop off your child at daycare. Children need to be kept home or seen by a physician if any of the following appear:

-severe diarrhea -vomiting -fever over 101 degrees -severe cough -strep throat -exposed staph infection -pink eye -head lice -infectious conjunctivitis -ringworm -scabies -Hepatitis

If your child becomes sick  during the day, we will call you as soon as possible. You will then have to pick up your child as soon as possible.  We will put them in a room away from the other children while we are waiting for you to pick them up.
We will notify you of contagious illness your child has been exposed to on your daily note.  

Your Back-up Care:
I recommend that you have a back-up caregiver in case I need to take a sick day and for my vacation days.

My Vacation Time:
I receive a total of 14 paid days off per year for sick and/or vacation time beginning on January 1st, 2009.  You will be notified at least one month in advance of all vacation time.

Discrimination:

We will not discriminate against any child on the basis of their sex, religion, national origin, or disability.

Discipline:
When a there is a problem, we talk with the child or children involved and explain why their behavior is unacceptable.  If the behavior does not change after a few warnings, a time-out period of one minute per year of age is imposed. We have several times a year that we teach the children about good choices during preschool.  If we are having extensive behavior problems with a child, we will discuss it with you and handle it together. We never use physicial punishment or isolation in our daycare.

Extra Clothing:
Your child will need a change of clothing kept in their cubby.   Please remember to send a new change of clothing when the seasons change.  You will also need a swimsuit left here during the summer.

Diapers:
I am willing to use either cloth or disposable diapers. We recommend that you purchase packages of disposable diapers to leave here. We will let you know when your supply is running low. These diapers will only be used for your child.

Nap Time:
Nap time is from 1:00 - 3:00.  Please bring anything your child likes to sleep with such as a stuffed animal or blankie to help them feel comfortable.  We do play games and have outdoor play for children that do not take naps.  Every child has his or her own cot, pillow, and sheet.  We do provide blankets for children who don't have one of their own.

Your Vacation Days:

We expect full payment for all days and hours that your child is normally scheduled to be here. If you choose to take the day off for any reason, you still must pay us to keep your child's spot.  We require full payment for holidays that fall on weekdays.

Termination:
The first three weeks are considered a trial period for all of us.  You may remove your child anytime during this time without notice.  We may also choose to ask you to find a new daycare during this time if we feel your child is not going to be a good fit in our daycare.

After this time, a 10 working day termination notice must be given in writing if you decide to remove your child from our care.  If you choose to leave before the 10 days are up, you are still responsible for paying for the full 10 days. We will also give you at least 10 working days notice if we are no longer able to provide care.
