Children often will be using glues and paints. While we do our best to cover up, please do not send you child in his/her best clothing.

*Removing the child from the situation
*Redirecting the child actions
*Comforting the child
*Helping to identify and resolve the problem
If the behavioral problem persists, I may request a parent/teacher conference.
Potty training is a requirement to be considered for enrollment.
Lunch is not a part of school. Snacks will be provided by the school. Occasional sign-ups will be permitted for special occasions such as class parties.
Homework is not implemented. Occasionally worksheets will be sent home if a child needs further reinforcement on a task. Please take the time to assist your child.
Health/Safety
Illness- Sick children should be kept at home for the good of the child as well as the other children in the class. If your child has any of the following symptoms, we ask that you keep them home.
*Green, thick mucus discharge from the nose

If your child becomes ill at school, you will be contacted to take your child home. If you are unreachable, the emergency contacts will be attempted.
*A child must be “symptom free” for 24 hours before returning to school. Contagious diseases diagnosed in a child (chicken pox, strep throat, pink eye, etc.) should be reported to me ASAP. Parents of the children will be notified in writing of the situation and precautions to take if necessary.
Emergency Contact Information forms will be provided and need to be completed before a child can attend class.
Emergencies will be handled as follows:
Minor injuries- Childrenwill be treated with First Aid and the child will be made comfortable. If a child is inconsolable, parents will be called. When appropriate, the child will remain in class and parents will be notified of the injury at pick-up.
Major injury/accidents- (seizure, broken bone or deep wound, etc). Should there be an incident, an immediate call to 911 will be made. Professional medical advice will be followed. Parents or any emergency contact person(s) will be notified.
*I have been first-aid certified and know CPR.
I am not authorized to administer medication at school under any circumstances. If medication is required please make arrangements accordingly.
** Children will be occasionally permitted to play outside when the weather permits. While they will be under constant supervision, injury that may come to a child will be the responsibility of the parent unless there are proven unusual circumstances. If you do not feel comfortable with your child playing outside, please let me know in writing.
