Activities

Development is mostly done during the first few years of a child’s life. This is why it is so important that learning letters, numbers, and colors will be a part of their daily routine. I think this helps children learn to concentrate, be creative and helps develop their motor skills. These fun/playtime activities will be the same for all children in the daycare, but will be geared toward each child’s individual need as well as age group to ready them for school. The older children will also be able to get experience with the younger children, set a good example for their peers and have small responsibilities.

The playground and toys available for fun time are approved by the National Program for Playground Safety. The play yard is fenced in for security.

Discipline

Young children up to 2 years are redirected in their actions. Older children are warned about inappropriate behavior. Second warnings are handled with a time-out and discussing the inappropriate behavior. Parents are informed of behavior good and bad.

Illness

Children with fever or any contagious disease can not attend daycare. If the child develops a fever or begins vomiting while at the daycare they will need to be picked up.

Any medicines to be given to the child will need written instructions. If prescribed medicine, the Rx label with instructions must be present. The child’s name must accompany the medicine.
