| Illness Policy Continued: Please note: This illness policy applies to my family, or myself as well. If one of my own children is very sick, I will inform you and you may have the option of bringing your child or finding alternate care. If it will be impossible to keep my children isolated, I will be forced to close for the day. If I am unavailable due to illness, I will give you as much notice as possible. You will be responsible for finding alternate care. I require 6 paid sick/personal days per calendar year. Initials _____ 8. Medications: Whenever the child needs medication more than twice a day, I will administer as needed, only if I am given a signed, written notice that includes the date, dosage and exact time to administer. A form is available. I recommend asking the pharmacist to give you the medication in 2 containers (one for home and one for childcare). They are always more than happy to do this for you and it will eliminate missed doses! Under no circumstances will any medication (over-the-counter or prescription) be given without written consent. I am able to accept a faxed permission if necessary. The only exception is Tylenol, which I can give your child with verbal permission. I can only give the dosage on the package and I can only administer medication that you have supplied. I recommend that you bring a small container of Tylenol, marked with your child�s name, to leave here. All medication must be in the original, labeled container. All medication must be handed to me! Do not leave medication in your child�s bag or cubby -- this is very dangerous! I am not allowed to give your child medication in a baby bottle, please do not bring it this way. I cannot administer any medication to your child that he has never taken before. This is in case the child has a reaction to the medication. And again, I can only administer medication that you have supplied. I must know if you have given any medication during the 24 hours prior to coming to childcare. If there is an emergency I need to inform the doctor of all medications taken. This will also prevent overdosing in the event that your child is very ill! Initials _____ 9. Meals: Nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided for all children at no additional cost. Formula will be provided for infants until they reach 1 year of age. All meals will meet the guidelines of the Child Care Food Program, which is monitored by the state of California. I submit my meals to them monthly and have three to four in-home visits during business hours yearly. Meals are at scheduled times and if your child is going to arrive after a meal is scheduled to be served, you must feed them before bringing them to child care. Any child not present for a meal will wait until the next meal is served. Exceptions will be made for infants. I will feed infants on demand. � 7:30 � Breakfast � 11:00 � Lunch � 4:00 - Snack All children will be offered the same foods and will not be forced to eat them. If they choose not to eat, they will not be offered anything until the next mealtime. If your child has special dietary needs I must have them in writing. If these needs are numerous or difficult to meet, I will ask you to provide the required food. Please do not allow your child to bring food, candy or gum from home. Also, please do not allow your child to carry any food or snacks into the house. This includes drinks! They often end up on the floor, in the playroom, or on my couch. Please do not make me the �bad guy� by having to take it away at drop off. Even young children understand �rules� and will follow them if encouraged by their parents. If you wish to bring some-thing remember that we have 8 children in our care and bring enough to share with every-one. Please let me know in advance in case of allergies or food problems! Initials _____ 10. Items to Bring to Child Care: Please provide at least one full change of clothes (including socks) for ALL children (2 and under need 2 changes of clothes), sunscreen, sweatshirt, play shoes for winter, swim suit, towel, and sandals or water shoes for summer. If your child wears diapers, please supply me with a large package of the correct size of quality diapers and wipes as well as a diaper rash cream marked with your child�s name. I will remind you when these items need to be replaced. Please rotate these items as needed. Initials _____ |
