Please sign your child in and out on the sign in sheet every day. The law requires you to do this, and is extremely important for record keeping and the safety of the children!

• It is normal for children to be hesitant and sometimes even cry when dropping them off. Please be very brief (no more than 5 minutes is sufficient) during drop off times; the longer you prolong the departure the harder it gets. A smile, cheerful good-bye kiss, and a reassuring word that you will be back is all you need to do.

• Please be very brief at pick up times also. This is a time of testing when two different authority figures are present (the parent and the provider) and all the children will test to see if the rules still apply.

• Please do not allow your child to run out to your car while you are still inside or while you are in my backyard.

Parents are required to notify me by 9 am if their child will not be coming for the day.

Parents are required to keep me informed of any change in addresses, telephone numbers, and other pertinent information.

Parents are required to inform me if they are at any other location than what is listed on their contract and to provide a telephone number for that place.

The daycare home will have a fire drill at least once per month.

Provider will promptly report to the proper authorities any sign of neglect or abuse of the children in care.

Provider maintains an open-door policy for parents during daycare hours.

Parents are encouraged to call or text me at any time during the day or evening. Lots of times I will not be able to answer the phone as I am quite busy with the children - please leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as possible.
