Each child will be provided with a sufficient quantity and variety of materials and play equipment appropriate to the age of the child and developmental level and interest. Such materials and play equipment may include: books, paints, crayons, safety scissors, paper, blocks, puzzles, toys, games, balls, and riding toys.

Children are allowed to bring a toy, stuffed animal or a doll to daycare but will be expected to share that item with the other children. Please, talk with your child before he or she brings a toy to daycare, telling them they will be expected to share their toy. If this will bother some them, the toy should be left at home. If the toy creates a problem with the other children, the toy will be taken away and put up for the remainder of the day. Please try to abstain from bringing favorite toys that your child is extremely attached to. Please don't allow your child to bring anything breakable, or anything that may pose a risk to the other children.

Daily supervised outdoor play will be provided for all children in care, except during inclement weather or unless otherwise ordered by a physician.

Appropriate rest and quiet periods will be provided in accordance with individual and group needs, when a child can sit quietly or lie down to rest. For children unable to sleep, time and space will be provided for quiet play. Each child will be provided with his/her own crib or cot depending on age.

To ensure optimal health and welfare of the child, the parents will be given the opportunity to discuss issues related to their children and care of their children with the provider. Such opportunities will occur at the time the child enters care and at least once every six months thereafter.

The parents agree to notify the provider of a child’s illness or suspected illness and to make alternate arrangements for care if the child shows any of the symptoms listed on the Exclusion Criteria Form found in your Parent Folder.

The provider will notify the parent if the child shows any symptoms while in care and the parent will pick up the child when requested by the provider.
In the event of a life-threatening medical emergency, the provider will call 911 and then the parents. If the parents cannot be reached, the provider will then call the persons listed on the Child Release form.

Parents are required to supply the following items, which are necessary for the proper care of your child:
· Backpack/Diaper bag with one or two sets of clothing.
· Appropriate outside wear (boots, gloves, hat, etc.)
· A blanket or pillow (pillow is optional), which will be returned to the parents every Friday for washing.
· Diapers or Training Pants (provider will supply diaper wipes)
· Necessary medications (when apply)
· Substitute food (when apply)

Either parent or provider may terminate the contract by giving two weeks written notice in advance of the ending date. Payment by parent is due for the notice period whether or not the child is brought to the provider for care.

The provider may terminate the contract without giving any notice if the parent does not make payments when due.

By signing the contract, parents agree to abide by the written policies of the provider. The provider may amend the policies by giving the parents a copy of the new or changed contract at least two weeks before they go into effect.
