6. Absences

I cannot give a sick child the attention they need and deserve. It is in everyone�s best interest that a sick child stays at home. Please use the following guide for keeping a sick child out of daycare. If a child develops any of these symptoms while in Daycare, you will be notified immediately and expected to pick up your child within an hour. These are symptoms that a child has a contagious condition:

*Active sneezing or coughing * Colored discharge from the nose

* A sore throat (with fever or swollen glands) * Discharge from eyes or Ears

* Diarrhea (3 or more watery stools in 24 hrs) * Vomiting (2 or more times in 24 hrs) * A fever (temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or more)

* An eye infection * Rash (especially with a fever or itching)

The provider as the right to request a child is removed from child care if the child seems lethargic or unable to participate in the days activities. If a parent requests a child stay indoors, that child is not well enough to be at daycare. If a child is extremely tired, causing inconvenience to the provider and her ability to care for the other children in care, the provider may request the child be excused.

A child that is sent home or absent due to fever, diarrhea or vomiting must be 24 hours free of symptoms without the aid of medications such as fever reducing medications.

Teething in younger children will be assessed in a case by case situation. If the child is showing clear signs of teething, such as finger sucking, swollen gums etc, then an exception will be made with fevers below 101 degrees. Anything OVER 101* is not associated with teething and the child will need to be excluded until he/she is fever free for 24 hours without the aid of fever reducing medications. I will not administer cold medications to children under the age of 6 unless a note from your doctor is available.

7. Discipline

I welcome and encourage you to share with me the method of discipline that works best for your child. �Separation� from a harmful/inappropriate or aggressive situation will take priority.

In certain situations, negative behavior from a child may result in suspension from child care for a determined amount of time. Ongoing behavior issues may result in the need for a parent/caregiver conference, disciplinary actions or termination of care. Infants and toddlers will not be disciplined in any way other than redirection. Destruction of childcare property could result in financial responsibility of the parents.

I promise to discipline fairly and age appropriately. No child will be humiliated or made example of in my care. No other child will discipline your child. Discipline will be provided by me or another adult care giver. No child will ever be hit or handled inappropriately in my care. My behavior expectations are as follows but not limited to: No aggressive behavior towards others or property, Potty talk and inappropriate language are not acceptable, be a good listener and helper, share with your friends and talk nicely and appropriately to others.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about these expectations please discuss them with me. If you have concerns about your child�s behaviors I encourage our communication to provide a common discipline action for the behavior.

8. Termination

The daycare provider reserves the right to terminate this agreement at any time for any sufficient reason, including but not limited to late payment, continual late pick up, disrespect of the care giver or her property, misbehavior or unruliness of the child. The daycare will make every effort to give a reasonable notice to allow parents time to obtain alternate child care arrangements.

You also have the right to withdraw your child from the Day Care at any time for any reason. However, you must give the daycare a two week written notice when cancelling service.

I hope that these policies will help make child care an easier, happier time for all of us! By signing the agreement, you are stating that you have read and agree to all policies contained herein. Thank you for allowing me to care for your child!

A few other bits of information to share!

* Please remove your shoes before entering the Daycare Area. Remember, your children PLAY on this floor.

* Please notify me if someone else is going to be picking up your child. If I do not know this person, or your child can not recognize them, they will have to show me some form of ID.

* Admission is not discriminated on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex or disability.

* In case of an emergency, my policy is to call 911 and then notify the parents. Ambulance and hospital expenses are the parent�s responsibility.

* Smoking is not allowed in my home.

* I am required by law to report to the local agency any suspected physical or sexual abuse or suspected neglect.

* Gum is not allowed in my home for the children.

* Please limit toys brought from home unless it is a Show and Tell day.

* Please do not bring in weapons or violent toys/movies etc. Please keep toys age appropriate.

When picking up your child, I still expect children to behave and act responsibly.

I reserve the right to intervene and expect the child to have consequences to their behavior while they remain in my home.

Children are not allowed into my personal area unless invited by me or my family.
