Hello and welcome to Becky's World of Wonder Daycare.
Please complete all forms prior to your child's first day in attendance. It is very important to have all contact information and medical information. The authorization form must accompany your child on his/her first day in care. Shot records must be filled out by you and your physician. Please be as specific as possible on all forms.
My hours of operation are from 7:00am-5:30pm Monday through Friday.
I am not available for evening or weekend care unless it is previously arranged or a "parents night out." "Parents night out is a free night of child care I offer a few nights a year as a thank you for choosing me to care for your child(ren).
Payment is due on the Friday prior to the week service is provided. A mandatory late fee of $10.00 per day will be applied, no exceptions.
The client continues to pay for sick and vacation days taken. When a vacation is taken, a POST DATED check for the week(s) they are absent will be given to the provider prior to the vacation period.
The provider will take a two week paid vacation per year. The provider will give as much advance notice as possible. The two weeks may or may not be taken all at once.
If there is a family emergency the provider will give as much notice as possible and will continue to be paid for said time off but not to exceed a two week period. Each family should find their own back up care for any extended time the provider may need to take off in case of any extended emergency leave. The provider will try to provide a short term provider if needed for any appointments. This provider does not take time off unnecessarily and has a very solid attendance record since opening in 1992.
The following days are PAID HOLIDAYS and the daycare will be closed:

SHOULD ANY OF THESE HOLIDAYS FALL ON A WEEKEND THE PRIOR FRIDAY AND/OR FOLLOWING MONDAY/TUESDAY WILL BE TAKEN OFF (these days will depend on what day of the week the holiday falls on, plenty of notice will be given as to what days are considered the paid holiday).
Should the client wish to terminate the daycare contract a mandatory full four week paid notice is required whether the child remains in attendance or not.
Should the client's child cause damage to property in the daycare or steal from the daycare the parent is responsible for replacing or paying for the item damaged or stolen by the child.
A child may not come to the daycare if the child has a fever, is vomiting, or has a contagious disease. A physician must treat all contagious diseases with the proper medication prescribed by that physician for a minimum of a 24 hour period or as otherwise stated by said physician prior to the child returning to the daycare. The provider will administer the prescribed medication to the child if the medication is in it's original container with the child's and the doctor's name along with the instructions for dosage on the label and the medication is no older than six months. The parent will provide any over the counter medication the child may need and it must be on the physician approved "over the counter medications" form filled out by the parent and the physician and on file with the provider.
The parent will be notified to pick up their child should the child become ill while in care. The child shall be picked up within one hour of notification or as soon as reasonably possible.
The child will be served snacks and meals while in care depending on the hours they are in care.
Timeout is the form of discipline used in the daycare and will consist of 1 minute for each year of the child's age (if the child is 2 years of age the child shall sit in timeout for two minutes, if the child is 3 years of age the child shall sit in time out for 3 minutes and so on).
The provider will notify the parent of any injury that occurs while the child is in care. If the injury is severe and require emergency medical treatment, 911 will be called before the parent and then the parent will be called.
If the child is not picked up by 5:30pm, the time the daycare closes, a $15.00 per quarter hour fee will be assessed.. Please be considerate of the hours of operation.
Should the client's check be returned for any reason, a $45.00 returned item fee, plus all fees the provider is charged as a result of that returned check and all late fees incurred by the provider as well as a $10.00 per day fee until the check is made good will be charged. Should a second check be returned by the same client all future payments will be made in cash. Should the client leave the daycare before all fees are paid the provider will seek legal means to collect said fees and will add all legal fees, wages lost attempting to collect said fees, wages paid to a substitute while attempting to collect said fees and any legally allowable interest on said fees.
This provider goes beyond the State's required safety regulations and has installed a fire extinguisher on each level of the home, a safety chain and a door buzzer on the front and back door and goes on lock down every time the local school goes on lock down. I also have fire escape ladder on the second level of the home as the State requires.
We practice monthly fire and safety drills as required.
I am CPR, first aid, bloodborne pathogen and medication certified and I complete the required number of continuing education training hours annually. I care about the children and take the time to be a licensed provider to be the best I can be.
I will only release your child(ren) to the people specified by you and only after verifying their identification. You must call me in advance if there is a change in pickup plans.
Each parent must provide diapers, diaper wipes, disposable gloves, a changing pad that the provider can sanitize after each change and multiple changes of clothes.
When potty training the parents must provide multiple changes of underpants and changes of clothing for the child and must tell the provider what they are doing at home so we can work together on the potty training. This provider will not be able to sit the child on the toilet in intervals of less than 60 minutes because of the other duties that are being performed with all the children in care if the child is not needing the toilet during that time to get the child "used to" sitting on the toilet.
When swimming, the parents must provide swim diapers, a swimsuit, towel and sunscreen for their child(ren). The provider will put sunscreen on the children each time the children go outside.
The children are allowed to watch television in the daycare however "G" or "PG" rated movies and cartoons are the ones watched in the playroom. Movies and cartoons are a "treat" not a daily activity and are not on for more than 1 movie when it is allowed. Sometimes more movies are watched during bad weather. By initialing you accept the policy. _________________
If for some reason a parent is unable to pick their child up from daycare and this provider is unable to contact the parent within 30 minutes of closing time (5:30pm), this provider will begin calling emergency contacts to pick up the child. If this provider is unable to contact the listed emergency contacts DHS will be contacted 3 hours after closing time. The child will be fed a snack by 6:30pm if the parent has not arrived or dinner if after hours care has been previously arranged or in case of an emergency. In case of bad weather please call and let me know you are safe and arrangements will be made for after hours care for your child. Regular daycare activities will continue after hours if children remain in care.
Because my home is a tri-level home, wheel chair access would be difficult but I will do my best to adapt to all special needs children. I have training to work with special needs children and accept all in children in my home. If I am physically unable to provide adequate care for your child, I would not be able to accept your child in my home as it is very important to me to provide the highest quality of care to all children.
I will accept non-immunized children but the parent must sign an exemption form stating their child is not immunized for personal, medical or religious reasons. A physician must still sign off on the shot record form.
Children are not allowed to bring bicycles, roller blades scooters or skateboards to the daycare and will not be allowed to use said items in the daycare.
This daycare provider does not transport children off the property other than an occasional walk around the block in which case the infants will be seat belted into a double stroller if they require a stroller.
This provider works with the parent when transitioning the child from breast milk to formula/milk and bottles to cups. We discuss together how and when this is to be done and we work on it together.
The children have outdoor play daily weather permitting and the parent must provide sunscreen for their child. Sunscreen will be applied as described on the bottle and infants will be kept out of the sun.
This daycare is an non smoking campus.
