To build stronger immunities, we as parents and child care providers, should not shield a child from the outside world. Because we are in a childcare setting, your child will come into contact with groups of other children outside your families. We will take stringent measures to prevent the spread of many common childhood diseases that are contagious. We will complete a morning health check to be sure your child is not sick. If your child is sick we will request you take the child back home. If your child gets sick during the day, we will separate your child and call you immediately to come and pick him/her up immediately. We will work to maintain healthy and sanitary conditions in our center. We request you, the parent, help us maintain a healthy environment by:</div> <bR> <div> 1.     If your child has been exposed to any of the diseases listed on the "Communicable Disease Chart for School Personnel" we have given you, please notify us of the exposure.</div> <bR> <div> 2.     If your child shows any of the following symptoms at home we ask that you do not bring the child to the center until the symptoms are gone or your doctor states it is okay for the child to be around other children.</div> <bR> <div> Breathing difficulties</div> <div> Unusual spots or rashes</div> <div> Sore throat</div> <div> Skin color that is abnormal</div> <div> Skin infections that are contagious</div> <div> Severe coughing, sneezing</div> <div> Fever</div> <div> Pinkeye</div> <div> Sores that are not from accidents</div> <div> Vomiting</div> <div> Urine and stool that is abnormal in color</div> <div> Headaches</div> <div> General mood and unusual behaviors</div> <div> Diarrhea</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Discipline Policy</B></div> <div> <B>New Life Child Care</B></div> <bR> <div> We would like your child to experience success while enrolled at our center and throughout higher life. Therefore, we must implement behavior guidelines that will help your child through difficult times of negative behavior.  We will use the following guidance techniques:</div> <bR> <div> <B>1. Take A Break</B></div> <div> The child is separated from the group to allow him/her time to relax and calm down.  The child will have access to activities and will be supervised while taking a break. The child may return to the group as soon as the negative behavior stops or is significantly reduced.  If a child must take a break more than two times or more in one day, parents will be notified.</div> <bR> <div> <B>2. Logical Consequences</B> </div> <div> The teacher will help the child understand the logical consequences of his/her actions by removing the object or activity the child is engaged in.</div> <bR> <div> <B>3. Verbal intervention</B></div> <div> The teacher explains to the child the inappropriate behavior and  shows him/her the appropriate way to handle the situation.</div> <bR> <div> <B>4. Redirection/Distraction </B></div> <div> We will offer alternatives to children engaged in undesirable behavior by presenting a different toy, suggesting a new activity, engaging the child in an activity with a teacher or another child, or encouraging independent activities.</div> <bR> <div> <B>5. Ignoring </B></div> <div> Some negative behavior is produced by a child to get attention. It can be discouraged when it does not get the attention desired. This technique will be often used when it does not bring harm to the child.</div> <bR> <div> <I>If these positives techniques are not working effectively and inappropriate behavior persists, we will use the following:</I></div> <bR> <div> 1<I>. </I>We <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >will </FONT>observe and record the child's inappropriate behavior and what we have done to try to correct the problem.</div> <div> 2. Parents will be asked to come in for a parent teacher conference to develop a specific action plan</div> <div> 3. The staff may suggest a outside source to work with the child, </div> <div> 4.  If the appropriate behavior continues, parents will be asked to keep the child home for a few days.</div> <div> 5.  If the behavior continues, we may disenroll the child.</div> <div> The center may disenroll immediately any child whose behavior creates risk of harm to the health or safety of other children or staff, without following the guidance steps above.</div> <div> <B>PAYMENT POLICY</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>Payment Policy</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Tuition</U></B><B>:</B>  Tuition is due Friday of each week to pay for the following week.
