"Learning By Experiencing"
We are aware of working family demands, but need your cooperation in order to keep illnesses down, especially during the
winter,
when children and staff are most susceptible.

Take the necessary steps everyday to protect your health.

Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze.  
Wash your hands often with soap and water.  If soap and water are not available, use an alchohol-based handrub.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.  Germs spread that way.
If you get sick, stay home from work or school, and limit your contact with others to keep from infecting them.
Upon entrance to the program a current medical and immunization record signed by your pediatrician is required for each child,
which must be updated annually. If your child's medical form has not been sent in or you need another, please call - all must be on
file and up to date while in attendance at school!
Attendance is not permitted if a current form is not on file.

If your child has any of the following conditions or symptoms you will be called to pick up your child from the Program within one hour of
notification. Your child will also be kept separate from the group in order to keep illness from spreading further.











In order to return to the program your child must take any prescribed antibiotics and be free from vomiting or diarrhea for a full 24
hours(home for one day) be free of infestations, be free of open, oozing skin conditions, and be able to participate comfortably in all
program activities including going outside.
It is very important to keep your child home, away from the group when ill, as illnesses
otherwise often go around again
reinfecting because of lowered resistance.

As a much considered safety policy, we do not administer medication here except for an asthma condition or for severe allergic
reactions requiring an epi-pen injection in response to anaphylactic shock symptoms. A release form and proper medical forms must
be on file
along with the needed medication. This means we are not allowed to give any medications orally or topically to your child
while they are at school. At least one teacher at all times is trained in Child & Infant CPR and First Aid, and trained to administer an
asthma inhaler or epi-pen.

Thank you!
