What is your illness policy?
Parents pay for
childcare regardless of whether or not the child attends. This is a
well child childcare home. This means that if your child is not
feeling well, you will need to keep them home. Control of communicable
illness among children is a prime concern. In order to protect the
entire group of children, as well as your own child, I ask that parents
assist me by not bringing their child if he/she has a contagious
illness. I do not except children with a fever, vomiting, excessive
diarrhea (if it is not contained in a diaper or the child cannot make it
to the bathroom), or unexplained rashes. These symptoms must be gone for
24-hours before the child may be accepted back into care.

|
What do I do if you are sick or on vacation?
You will be notified in
advance if someone other than me is going to watch your children. I give
at least a 30-day notice of any vacation that I will be taking.

|
Are
you a member of a State Food Program?
Yes, I am a member of a FDA
approved food program so your children are assured healthy meals and
snacks.
<<Top>> |
|
How do you discipline?
I use the
Love and Logic
approach by Foster Cline, MD and Jim Fay. It is an approach that
teaches children responsibility
through choices and consequences of those choices.
<<Top>> |
|
Do you have Pets?
Yes we have pets. I believe
that animals are a good way for kids to learn responsibility. They learn
how to interact with animals by being gentle and kind. I have 3 dogs;
Lab/Golden mix that loves to play fetch with the kids and 2 toy poodles;
we have fish as a classroom pet.

|
What is your policy
with TV?
We do on occasion watch educational TV or a movie.
<<Top>> |
|
What will I be expected to
provide?
Parents must provide
diapers (for children who are not potty trained), formula for infants
1-year and under, a change of clothes to stay at my home in case of
accidents.

|
Tell me
about yourself and why you became a provider?
I became a provider because
I have a love for children and believe that the first 5 years of
development is critical. Please visit my
About Us
page for further information.

|
What is your vacation policy?
I offer parents 15 days
vacation with a 30-day written notice of the dates the child will
be gone. No tuition is due during the vacations that accompany a 30-day
written notice. I take yearly
vacation during which I attempt to provide alternative care options.
During my vacation time no tuition is due. For more information please
reference Holiday
page.
