A.Illness is defined in the family day home standards manual as
a. A child vomiting, having a fever, diarrhea or a new unexplained rash or cough.
b. A child requiring greater care and attention than can be provided without compromising the care of the other children in the program.
c. A child having or displaying any other illness or symptom the staff knows or believes may indicate that the child poses a health risk to persons on the program premises.
If an educator notices that a child exhibits any of the signs or symptoms listed above, the educator must ensure that:
a. The child’s parent(s) arranges for the immediate removal of the child from the program premises.
b. The child does not return to the program premises until the educator is satisfied that the child no longer poses a health risk to others in the program. (e.g. – the parent educators a physician’s note, the parent declares the child has been symptom free for a minimum 24 hours, or the educator contacts Health Link Alberta to determine if the child no longer poses a threat to others.)
Our policy is no medication (including prescription or non-prescription, emergency medication and herbal remedies) may be given by the educator without written authorization from the agency as well as verbal confirmation from the agency, who has already received parent permission. If you child needs to be given any medication, please contact us or stop in the office so we can fill out the medication approval form with you. We will contact your provider to review the medication instruction and let her know the medication has been approved for them to administer.
Agency policies can be found on our website under Parent Forms – policy and procedures. Our parent handbook is also available online under Parent Forms.
The first 30 days in any contact are a trial for both parents and educator, which means the contract can be cancelled at any time without penalty. After the first 30 days parent and educators agree to give each other 30 days written notice.
Our vision is to offer the community, childcare that nurtures and supports each family as a unique and individual unit.
