Medical procedures
I am not authorized to give your child medications that require a prescription, so in the event that prescribed medication is needed while your child is at preschool, you will need to come administer it to him/her. A Basic Release Form will need to be signed and submitted if you want me to give any over the counter medication.
Sick policy
If your child is running a fever, has nasal discharge, a flem-producing cough, or is throwing up or has diarrhea, he/she must remain at home. If I see these symptoms after your child has been dropped off at preschool I will phone the parent and the child must be picked up as soon as possible. If I have any of those symptoms, I will cancel preschool for the day.
Field trips
I am planning a few field trips with the preschoolers to various places in the community. A permission slip will be sent home one week before the field trip and parents are invited to come along as a chaperone. There will be a mandatory 3:1 ratio of children to adults for field trips.
Visitation and Volunteering
Visitation during preschool hours is not recommended due to the fact that visitors decrease the children’s ability to focus on the lesson and activities or they may be clingy when their parent is in sight.
Parents are welcome to volunteer any special talents or services for preschool anytime when it is applicable to the theme of the preschool day and when you have notified me that you will be coming. A calendar of upcoming themes will be sent home with your child each week.
