Bathroom Policy
All children in our Polliwogs, Fabulous Frogs and Bull Frogs classes, must be
able to use the bathroom unassisted. We do not have the facilities, nor the
license to change diapers. Please be aware of and abide by this policy! We
will not be tolerant of those ignoring this policy. We do understand that
preschool is a huge transition time for many of our new students. We do allow
some leeway for those in transition; however, each of these cases will be
evaluated and dealt with accordingly. The parents/guardians must discuss all
issues with the director and/or teachers. Please contact the preschool office
if you have any questions.
* Our Tadpoles do not have to use the bathroom unassisted- we do however
ask that they come to class in a clean dry diaper or pull up. If your child is
able to go to the bathroom or is in the process of learning- be sure to let the
teachers know, so that they may aide him/her.
Illness Policy
If your child is ill, we ask that you please keep him/her home from preschool.
It is a common courtesy to avoid spreading germs to classmates as well as
the teachers. A runny nose or cough may be the beginnings of something more
serious that can easily spread in our preschool environment. When children
are feeling this way- they are not themselves - they tend to be tired,
irritable, sensitive, etc; in short - not having fun!
If a child has been sent to
school and the staff feels as though the child is not feeling well enough to
participate or has gotten worse throughout the day - SCP reserves the right
to notify parents, guardians, as well as emergency contacts, to get your child
home and comfortable as soon as possible. We also reserve this right if we
notice a suspect rash or anything else that may be a communicable disease
(contagious.) If you have sent your child to school with a suspect symptom,
after seeing a doctor - we request a note from your doctor stating that your
child is not contagious or that they are able to be in school.
Note: It is the staff’s final decision on whether we feel your child is well
enough to attend preschool on any given day, depending on their symptoms &
demeanor. We consider a fever to be anything above 99.5° Fahrenheit; a
child with a fever, will be separated from the class and rest until he/she is
picked up.
Your child must be FREE of fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
for at least 24 hours (without the use of medication), before
returning to school.
