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.

* 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.
