PARENT HANDBOOK
A Brief Description of me and why I do what I do
If you’re like me, you are terrified of leaving your child in the hands of someone else. This is the main reason I have decided to open my own daycare. I, like many mothers, feel like there is no one better suited to raise my child than me and I carry that philosophy over to how I would provide care for your child.
I do not believe in harsh discipline, but rather positive and sometimes, negative reinforcement in order to teach children proper behaviour.
I do not spank or yell. (see discipline procedures for more info)
I treat every child as an individual little person and do not use “blanket discipline” tactics
My goal is to provide the kind of care I would expect of someone who was watching my own child.

What if my child is sick?
If your child becomes sick while in my care, I will first assess the situation and then decide whether or not to call for a pick up.
I use a green light, yellow light, red light system to help you determine whether or not to bring your child that day
Green Light: No problem, bring the child in:
Child is acting well
Child is eating and drinking as usual
Child is playing like usual
Child is “cranky” (with no fever)
Child is “sleepy” (with no fever)
Yellow light: Bring child in, child will be monitored throughout the day
Child has runny nose
Child has dry cough (cough medicine will NOT be given)
Child has low grade fever (with no other symptoms)
Child is sneezing
Child has “common cold”
Child has sore throat (mild)
Red Light: Child stays home until symptom free for 24 hours
Child is vomiting
Child has high fever
Child has rash
Child has flu
Child has sore throat (severe)
Child has chills
______________________________________________________
My “Clean Routine” - my prevention plan
Everyone knows as soon as you send your child to daycare or school, they are exposed to many more germs than they normally would be at home.
I can’t protect the children from ever getting sick, but I do my best to better their chances at staying healthy.
For starters, I receive my flu shot every year as well as do my children. I encourage (but do not require) that your child also receive the flu shot.
I serve only healthy lunches and snacks (with the exception of the odd valentine cookie or birthday cake).
I use disposable, biodegradable paper plates to serve food - this ensures they always have a clean surface to eat from. I also use only plastic disposable utensils.
I am strict about bathroom hygiene and insist the children wash their hands often throughout the day. For the little ones, I have plenty of wet wipes on hand.
I spray all eating and play surfaces with antibacterial spray after each day and wash all toys with antibacterial solution every week or as needed.
I will send home the child’s sleeping blanket once a week to be washed or exchanged by the parent.
I encourage parents to teach the child about germs and basic health practises (ex cover your mouth when you cough/sneeze etc….)

______________________________________________________
Outside Play
I will try to spend at least some time of each day playing outside with the children.
I believe getting outside and staying active is very important for growing minds.
I have a play park with swings and a slide. Please inform me if your child is not able to use this equipment on his/her own.
I also have a HUGE backyard for playing soccer, tag, running through sprinklers in the summer etc…
I also live very near to Maguire Park. With your permission I will take the children on outings to the park or for short walks around the block.
Mostly all outdoor activity will take place in my backyard under my supervision as that is the safest.
______________________________________________________
Behaviour Report
I will provide the parents with a daily behaviour report in an assigned agenda. I will provide communication agendas in which we can communicate. It will outline how the child behaved that day, whether or not there were any concerns or special praise. If the child ate or slept and so on.
There will also be room for any comments you may have about your child for that day - ex: getting picked up early, who is picking them up (if different), if the child has any yellow light symptoms etc…
______________________________________________________
Behaviour Warning Report
A behaviour warning will be issued if a child has a negative behaviour that has been addressed but is still present (ex: biting, pushing, etc..) A warning will be given to the parent and possible probation if behaviour is not dealt with.
Discipline procedures
As I’ve mentioned earlier, I do not believe in hitting or yelling so you might be wondering how I’m going to handle five or more children in my home.
These are my basic discipline strategies - I work on a child to child basis and understand that not every discipline works on every child…..
1. Three strikes and you’re out : The tried and true method of counting to three before giving a consequence.
2. Gold Star system: Some children respond best to positive reinforcement, therefore, if they produce a desired behaviour (ie: pick up their toys, say please and thank you) they get a gold star, after a certain number of stars they choose a reward from my “good boy/girl box”
3. Consequences: I don’t believe in shaming children. I always want to ensure the child realizes it’s the behaviour, and not them that is the problem. Some of the consequenses include:
Naughty corner - Child must sit on a step or a mat and calm down until ready to apologize.
Apology - Child must apologize to whomever he/she has upset
Loss of priveledges - Used when child refuses to apologize. Child will have priveledges returned if they decide to apologize later. Loss of priveledges would include, not getting to watch a movie, not getting to be “it” in tag etc…
I am, of course always open to different dicipline stategies, if you know what works with your child, please feel free to let me know.
