Vacations~

All other vacations during the same year will require the full rate to maintain you spot in daycare. Your fee is due prior to your vacation. I usually take 1-2 weeks vacation per year sometimes I do not close at all. But if I do take a vacation I will give you a 4 week notice and assist you in finding alternate care. When or if I do take a vacation I will not charge you for the vacation time that I take off.

Meals~

I am a member of a State funded nutrition program. They do come to my home unannounced about 3-4 times a year and check over my paperwork and make sure the children are receiving nutritious meals. Food is offered to your child but they are not forced to eat it. In which case I will notify you right away if your child is not eating. Serving times are as follows: 7:30-8am breakfast~ 9:30-10am snack~ 11:30-12:pm Lunch~3pm snack

Medicine~

I will administer medicine to your child but you will need to sign a form. Medicine must be properly labeled with the Childs name on it and the dosage and times to be administered.

Immunizations~

All children are required to have a photo copy of their current and update shot records parents are required to keep their childrens shots up to date. (This is very important because State licensing does come unannounced and checks all my paperwork to make sure its current.
