| If your child is experiencing any problem at home which
you feel might affect his or her behavior at the center please let
us know. We will keep the information confidential. |
|
| |
|
We will work with you during this important time. Please bring
at least 2 changes of labeled clothing for your child in the training
stage and keep us well supplied with diapers or pull-ups (minimum
5 per day). If we run out, we have to charge $1 per diaper used.
Please note that we are forbidden by the Health Department
to wash or even rinse any clothing soiled by body fluids. Such
clothing will be placed in a sealed bag to go home.
|
|
| |
| We cannot be responsible for toys, watches, jewelry,
etc. brought from home. Please do not allow your child to
bring them in, unless they are related to the theme or letter of the
week. All toys, with the exception of violent toys such as guns, may
be brought in on Show and Tell days. Of course small blankets or favorite
stuffed animals for nap-time are welcomed. Please label everything! |
|
| |
| Please do not allow your child to bring candy,
gum, or soda into the center (except on his or her birthday).
Unless your child is allergic to any of our snacks, we encourage you
to not bring in an alternative snack as this can cause problems for
other children. |
|
| |
| According to research, 50% of children will be bitten
at some time or other in a child care center. While none of us like
biting, there is at least some reassurance in knowing that it is a
common behavior in very young children. It is very rare for children
not to have outgrown this habit by the time they are 3 years old.
To date there is no reported case of HIV transmission from a human
bite. We do of course make consistent efforts to reduce the
possibilities of biting taking place. If a child bites on
a regular basis and does not respond to our efforts to correct the
behavior, we may have to dis-enroll the child for a period of time
until he or she has outgrown the habit. We do respect the confidentiality
rights of parents and will not disclose the name of a biting child
without the consent of the parents. |
|
| |
| It is absolutely necessary to inform us if you decide
to withdraw your child from the school. If you fail to do so
we will charge you 1/2 the normal tuition fee to hold your child's
place, preventing us from enrolling another child in his/her place. |
|
| |
| Playing outside on our beautiful playgrounds is, for
most children, one of the most rewarding activities of the day. A
child should come to the center well enough to participate in all
outdoor activities. If, however, there are medical reasons for a child
to have to remain indoors, we will be glad to comply with a written
physician's request. We shorten our outdoor play time in extreme heat
or cold. |
|
| |
| During the summer, your child will be able to participate
regularly in our water play activities. You will need to check with
your child's class for the schedule and have your child come to the
center wearing his or her bathing suit. Your child will also need
a labeled change of clothes, towel, watersocks, and sunscreen. |
|
| |
| We have emergency evacuation drills at least once a
month to be sure that staff and children are familiar with the procedures.
Should we ever have to evacuate one of our buildings, we will use
our other center as our alternative. |
|
| |
| In the event of very bad weather, please call ahead
to be sure that the center is open. Should weather conditions deteriorate
during the day, we may have to close early. We will call you in such
an event. |
|
| |
|
Good hygiene habits go a long way to preventing the spread of disease.
Staff and children at All Aboard are in the habit of washing their
hands after toileting, before meals and snacks, after coming in
from outside and at any other time necessary during the day. Please
be sure to endorse these good habits at home.
|
|
| |
| We will notify you if your child has been exposed to
a contagious disease so that you can be alert to symptoms of that
disease in your child. We also ask you to keep us informed about exposures
to contagious diseases, so that we can notify other parents to watch
out for symptoms. While exposure to many contagious diseases is a
normal part of childhood, these policies will minimize the risk of
most preventable diseases. |
