General Childcare information

 

Illness: For the health and safety of all of our children, we ask that you bring only healthy children into the childcare area. Please leave your little ones at home if they have a fever within the last 24 hours.

 

Allergies: We ask parents to notify the childcare staff of any allergies or special health care needs when they sign their child into their Preschool classroom. In the case of food allergies, we expect parents to provide their child with an appropriate alternative snack to participate at snack time. For the health and safely of all, we try to maintain a peanut-free facility.

 

Discipline: We use positive behavior modeling, and redirection as our discipline strategy. Should an irresolvable special need arise during your child's visit, we will contact you.
