I am a childcare provider who has been working with children for over 20 years. I have created this handbook to try to eliminate any misunderstandings. It is hard to remember to tell every parent every rule and every procedure when we first meet. I have tried to cover everything I could think of from my childcare philosophies, business policies and expectations. Please read this handbook carefully, and feel free to discuss with me any questions that you may have.
My goal is to have all the children in my care having a fun day where they are learning and playing while making new friends. I want your child to feel like this is their 2nd home. I want them to feel safe and comfortable here. I will provide them with lots of love and attention along with lots of fun and daily activities to help them learn and grow. I hope to teach the children to respect themselves and each other. I believe all children should have a safe and happy environment. I do not allow hitting, biting, yelling, and name calling at any time. Children will be encouraged through positive reinforcement to be nice to their friends. I will encourage all children to treat their friends and my home with respect. I try to provide a daily structured program. My program has a daily craft, songs, stores, circle time and so much more. I enjoy being outside. If weather is acceptable, we will be outside at least an hour each day. I try my best to keep things picked up, but the care of the children comes first and then the chores. I try to encourage the kids to help keep their toys picked up when they are done playing. We do a lot of fun activities each day and some of them can be messy (such as painting). So please send your child in play clothes.
I hope we can have an open communication between the two of us. If you have a problem, I hope you come to me first. Please do not wait until you just too angry to say something and instead decide to remove your child from my care. Let us talk first. I try to be a friendly and caring person and I will try to work with y9ou to come to an understanding if either of us is having a problem. If we have problems, I hope we can communicate to work through them. My door is always open, and I welcome an opportunity to talk openly about anything. Any questions that you may have for the concern of your child or my home is always welcome. If you have questions or concerns about your child’s day, please call me so we can talk. If you have issues you cannot discuss in front of the children, please call me so we can discuss it over the phone, or we can try to schedule a meeting for after hours.
The forms listed below must be filled out before your child can start. Some of these forms will be updated yearly.
If you need any help filling out these forms, please feel free to ask.
Your child’s happiness is important to all of us. It is, therefore, agreed that the first month (30 calendar days) of your child’s enrollment in my home daycare will be considered the trial period. At the end of this trial period if everting is going fine, I will assume that your child is going to continue his care at my home, if things are not working out for either of us then before the 30 days are up, we need to discuss what is to be done next. If care continues after the trail period (first 30 days) then your child is automatically enrolled after this date. If you decide to remove your child after this date, I will need to have a 2-week written notice.
For Policy’s and Terms and Conditions please refer to our Handbook.
