2) Name calling intentionally to hurt another's feelings is not allowed. Please treat others as you would like them to treat you.
3) In the House: NO running or rough housing in the home. This can be done during time spent outside. Also there are some areas that are off limits. You are only allowed in those areas with my permission.
4) Children 7 years old and up are not allowed to leave the house or yard without MY permission and without written permission from their parent. Children 5 years old and up will be allowed to spend time outside in the day care yard with periodic supervision with MY permission and with written permission from their parent.
5) NO shoes allowed past the entrance room. NO EXCEPTIONS. This allows for a safer, cleaner play area for all of us. If your child wishes, he/she can bring a pair of slippers to wear inside.
6) NO picking up other children, especially infants and toddlers.
7) NO food or drink brought from home at arrival or departure time. Please allow adequate time for your child to finish eating before arriving at daycare. And please do not bring food for your child at pickup time, it can be given to them after you leave the home.
8) We have a share policy on all toys, including toys brought from home. If your child does not wish to share his/her toys, we will allow them to be shown during share time and then they will be put away for the rest of the day. Your child will be allowed to play with them if all other children have left for the day and they are the last one to be picked up. Also, I will not be responsible for damaged or lost toys brought from home.
9) Proper use of day care toys and equipment is required at all times for safety reasons and maintenance. Age appropriate toys and equipment are available for all ages. Be sure that what you are using is just right for you.
10) Nap/quiet time is required every day to meet the needs of all the children in my care. If you no longer take a nap, you will still be required to take a quiet time so that the other children that do nap can do so without disruption. Children 5 years and up will be allowed outside time with periodic supervision and with the understanding that they can not come in and out of the house causing disruption of nap/quiet time.
PARENTS:
11) Please keep in mind your contracted hours of care and try to be as consistent as possible.
12) Please treat my home and family with respect.
13) Please treat other families and children who attend my daycare with respect.
14) Please treat my neighbors with respect, by turning your car radios down if you arrive at a very early hour. Keep your child quiet and orderly in the early morning hours. And PLEASE do not turn in their driveways. I have two driveways that can be used or if you wish you can drive up the street and down the next when leaving my home.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
