If a child must have medication administered during the day, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to SIGN the medication book in each respective classroom.

If the above is not adhered to, we will NOT give a child his/her medication.

If a child is dropped off at the facility and is NOT in accordance with the health regulations governing A Child's Place, the child CANNOT remain at the center. The parent MUST be contacted, and one MUST return and pick up the child. The child will not be kept placing the other children at risk of being infected too.

All children MUST enter the facility by the main door ONLY. All persons picking up children MUST enter thru the main door ONLY.

No child will be released to any person other than the parent/guardian. However, persons designated on the application form will be allowed with proper identification. This is for the SAFTY of you and your child. Please cooperate.

DO NOT wait for days and weeks to pass or discuss your problem with other persons, children, or friends.

Check ALL bulletins in the front lobby, hallways, each classroom, and your child's cubbies for important information.
