spots fluctuation to a minimum, and helps us be able to focus more on being the best childcare providers
we can be, instead of worrying about “the bills”, and putting food on the table.
E. (______) (______) HOURS OF OPERATION: We are open from open Monday through Friday
7:30am to 5:30pm. We close promptly at 5:30pm. At 5:30pm each day we have to quickly run off to
our children’s soccer, baseball, karate, and wresting games/practice. So please be considerate of our time
when budgeting yours. If your late to pick up “once in a blue moon”, because of bad traffic or whatever,
we understand and no hard feelings. But if late pickups become a regular occurrence, then we may not
be the best fit for your childcare needs, and we may be forced to terminate our childcare arrangement.
F. (______) (______) DAYCARE INTERIOR/EXTERIOR DOORS: Children love to go through open
doors. If a door is opened most of the younger children will follow you through it. As you can imagine
this can be disruptive to temporarily loose control of which children are in which room with each parent
pickup and drop off. So please promptly close each door after opening it without letting any
children following you through it.
G. (______) (______) GUIDELINES REQUIRING EXCLUSION FROM DAYCARE: A child with
any of the following illnesses must be completely free of any symptoms before returning to
daycare. If your child is taking antibiotics for an illness, your child may return to daycare after the
initial 24 hours of beginning antibiotics as long as he or she has a slight to no fever (under 100F under
the arm), no longer contagious, and is otherwise feeling well enough to participate in our daily schedule.
Signs of illness include the following; unusual lethargy, irritability, persistent crying for no reason,
runny nose (more than clear), cough (more than slight), difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting, mouth
sores, rashes (note from doctor stating non-contagious is ok), pink eye, chicken pox, mumps, measles,
roseola, hepatitis A, impetigo, lice, ringworm, scabies, strep throat, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, shingles,
and any other contagious disease or rash. Any child with a fever of 100 degrees or above, orally (in
the mouth), or axillary (under the arm), may not attend daycare. State law requires that we notify
parents of children who have been exposed to certain contagious diseases. Please notify us if your child
becomes infected, so a note can be posted.
H. (______) (______) PICK-UPS AND DROP-OFFS: (a) Please make your pick-ups and drop-offs
brief (no more than a couple minutes). As you can imagine it takes quite a bit of effort to retain
control of a room full of two year olds. Children act up considerably when other parent’s are present. If
you linger this makes our job much harder. Please understand, we are a home daycare, and not a
mommy and me class. If you feel the need to run around and play with kids, then may we suggest you
take your child to a park and/or open your own daycare. (b) Please send your child clean, dressed (no
pajamas, unless you don't mind your child wearing their pajamas all day), fed and ready for the day, as
well as all of your child's necessary supplies needed for that day's care. (c) Never leave without telling
your child goodbye (don’t sneak out). (d) Please be in control of your child during drop-off and pick-up
times.
