OUTDOOR PLAY AREA
The outdoor play area
is fenced and kept clear of hazards that may injure your child. Children are
also supervised during outside play. We will play outside in all types of
weather, however extreme heat, cold, rain, snow, sleet may prevent outdoor play.
Weather is only a factor for determining the duration of play. Please dress your
child appropriately for each days weather.
BIRTHDAY/HOLIDAY PARTIES
If you would like to
bring cupcakes so your child may celebrate his/her birthday with his/her friends
in child care you may do so, with prior consent from the provider. Cupcakes must
be store bought.
We also celebrate
certain holidays such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day. Provider may request
that parents provide treats for these parties.
TELEVISION & VIDEO
Videos & educational television (PBS,
Nickelodeon,
Disney Channel) will be shown
to enhance the children’s education or for enjoyment. Videos & television will not be part of
the everyday curriculum of my program.
PARENTS’ NIGHT OUT
Approximately once
per month, Pam’s Play Place and Preschool will offer a Parents’ Night Out. This
will be a night designated by the owner and will be offered to parents at least
two weeks in advance. It will be care provided from 6PM – 10PM, for a flat fee.
If you wish to take advantage of this evening you will be required to pay for
that evening in addition to your regular child care tuition on your regularly
scheduled payment date – at least 1 week prior to the “Parents’ Night Out”. If
your child does not attend on “Parents’ Night Out” no monies will be reimbursed
and no credit will be given.
This evening will
offer a fun dinner for your child, activities, a snack and end with a G-Rated
movie.
FIELD TRIPS
Occasionally we will
go on field trips. Parent is responsible for their child’s fees, when necessary.
It is not necessary for your child to attend these field trips but you will be
required to find alternate care for your child if he/she does not attend.
Regular childcare fees will still apply for field trip days, whether or not your
child attends. You may also be asked to leave your child’s car seat for me to
use for your child during field trip. Parents may also be asked to join us on
field trips.
AGE-SPECIFIC PROGRAMS
My programs are based
on each child’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical developmental
needs. I believe children are happy and secure when they have plenty
opportunities to succeed each day. Success breeds self-confidence and
self-confident children approach learning as fun and actively search for
information and solutions to problems. As a result, they develop into
well-rounded, capable adults.
CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL
NEEDS
Pam’s Play Place
and Preschool will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and
applicable federal, state and local laws in providing for children with
disabilities. My goal is to meet the individual needs of the child within the
structure of my program, while maintaining a healthy and safe environment for
all children.
TRANSPORTATION
Colorado Law
requires:
All children being
transported by the provider, to or from the child care home and on all field
trips will be provided with a car seat or appropriate safety restraint. If a
child care seat is not available, Provider will provide one upon request.
Parents are required to return the car seat the following child care morning. A
$10.00 per day fee will be charged, if the car seat is not returned to the
provider the following morning. Please keep in mind that I am required by law to
report any parent who neglects to respect the Colorado Car Seat Law and the
safety of their child.
REST TIME
All children 5 years
and under will be required to lie down for a rest time each day. This will be a
two-hour rest period, between 12:30pm-3:30pm (depending on our morning
activities). I will provide a suitable crib, play pen, cot or mat, a blanket or
sheet and pillow (for children over 12 months). If you wish to provide a
favorite blanket or sleep toy from home, it is fine. Please be sure to wash
these weekly. I will not force your child to sleep but they must lie down
quietly. If your child does not go to sleep, they may be given a book, puzzle or
something else they can play with quietly.
MEALS AND SNACKS
I am a participant in
“A Child’s Choice Food Program”. Nutritious meals will be served to all children
present at meal times. Meal times are as follows:
·
Breakfast
will be offered to
all children arriving early or between 8:00am and 8:30 am
·
Lunch
will be offered to
all children who are in attendance during the lunch period.
·
Dinner
will be offered to
any child in attendance at 7:00 pm
·
Snacks
will be offered to
all children in attendance. A snack and drink will be offered before your
child’s pick up time. Provider will not serve or pack drinks when parents arrive
for their children. If a child can not make it home without another snack or
drink, parent(s) will need to have one packed for the child in their vehicle.
If
your child will be arriving after mealtime, you will need to feed them at home.
