Information for Parents
Established relationships with parents means we can share information positively and effectively to support children as much as possible.

Hours of Operation
Eligible hours of care were carefully thought and established keeping in mind parent's busy schedule.
-
Communication
Open communication between parents and staff is strongly encouraged. Teachers are encouraged to learn what is important to you as a parent and to use that information when programming for the group.
-
Medical Information
We are required under the Inmunization Law #25 and the Health Department to have a copy of each child's immunization record.
-
Injuries
If your child is injured while at the center, staff will administer basic first aid. If medical attention is required, attempts will be made to reach the parents immediately. Staff will call Emergency Services if required.
-
Clothing
Uniform is required at all times. Exploration often requires getting messy! All of the materials that we use are washable ,however we are aware that some paint colors and other materials are difficult to fully remove, therefore we require an additional set of clothing.

Nutrition
Children are encouraged to taste a variety of foods but no child is ever forced to eat foods that they do not wish to. All parts of the meal make up a child's nutritional requirements certified by a licensed nutritionist.
Parent Resources
The Parent Handbook provides new parents with an understanding of the mission, philosophy, policies, and procedures followed at our centre.
