GENERAL POLICIES
Suspected Child Abuse: Our staff are mandated reporters.
Toileting: Children will be expected to manage their toileting needs with minimal adult assistance. To ensure safety and compliance with state law, children will be always visually supervised including when they are using the restroom facility. If your child is not able to manage their toileting needs with minimal adult assistance, we recommend a classroom with an attached bathroom inside the classroom. If the school site that you are enrolled in does not have a preschool classroom that has an attached bathroom, you will be offered the opportunity to transfer to a school site that does. If a child wears Pull-Ups, it is expected daily for the parent to ensure that there are a minimum of 5 Pull-Ups and ample wipes in the classroom to assist with their child’s toileting needs. To meet health and safety regulations, in the event of a toileting accident, a staff person will immediately assist and guide the child into a clean set of clothes and or pull up. A child is not permitted to be left in soiled clothing nor a pull up, therefore a parent may not be called to assist as a child is left waiting to be changed. Once a child is changed and requires further hygiene such as bathing, the parent and or emergency contacts will be notified. The soiled clothing will then be sent home in a plastic bag due to health regulations and limitation on resources in facility.
The safety and well being of your child always comes first. State law requires that staff report known or suspected instances of a child abuse to Child Protective Services or to local police officials. This abuse includes physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse or neglect. If you or someone in your family wants to learn different ways to guide and discipline your child or to handle anger without hurting your child, please talk to your child’s teacher. There are resources available to help you, at no charge Clothing & Items from Home: Your child will be very active during classroom activities and should dress in comfortable and washable clothes.
