GENERAL POLICIES
Preschool facilities open 15 minutes prior to activities.
A preschooler must be brought to their class by an adult and will be released to the adult with the security slip.
A parent should pick-up their child immediately following the service or function.
Only preschoolers, PEPS, boosters, and their teachers are permitted in any preschool classroom.
Parents, other family members, and friends are asked not to visit him and "look in" on him, as this can upset the child, especially if separation anxiety is an issue.
All children are promoted annually, with the exception of babies. They are promoted when they begin to become more mobile.
Parents are asked to label all items belonging to their child, i.e. diaper bags, bottles, pacifiers, jackets, etc.
Children should leave personal toys or other possessions at home.
HEALTH POLICIES
For the protection of your child and the other children, parents are requested not to bring a child who appears to be ill. Upon recommendation of the Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child should not be taken from home when any of the following exists:
Fever within last 24 hours (without benefit of medication)
Vomiting or diarrhea
Any symptom of a childhood disease such as scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox, or whooping cough
Common cold-from onset through one week
Sore throat
Croup
Any unexplained rash
Any skin infection-boils, ringworm, impetigo
Pink eye or other eye infection
All toys used by younger preschoolers are washed and sanitized before and during the session.
If a child develops a fever or other symptoms of illness, he will be isolated and the parents contacted.
Preschool teachers and staff are not able to administer medication.
Should your child develop an infectious disease following a session in the preschool area, please contact the preschool office immediately.
Parents should note any allergies on the security slip. For the children with severe allergies, an "Allergy Alert Form" should be completed. These forms are available at the Preschool Greeter Desk.
