Illness 2

MEDICATIONS

I will administer prescription and over-the counter medication to a sick child. The parent must complete a Medication Authorization form listing the type of medication, the dosage, the time of day it should be administered and any side effects or special instructions.

MINOR INJURIES/MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

Although I make every effort to keep the children safe through supervision and lots of safety features, minor bumps and scratches are inevitable. Minor injuries receive appropriate first aid, and an Injury/Accident report form will be completed and signed by the parent. This form will be kept in the child’s file.

If an injury or illness occurs that requires immediate medical attention, we will use 911. The parent will also be notified as soon as possible. If necessary, your child will be taken to the nearest hospital where you will be asked to meet us. If the parent can’t be reached, we will contact the emergency contact person listed on the Enrollment Information form.

Parents are responsible for all costs involved in medical treatment obtained for their child, including but not limited to transportation to hospital or medical facility.

EMERGENCY SITUATIONS:

In case of any emergency situation parents will be notified immediately. The safety of the children at Country Home Day Care is priority above all and everything will be done to maintain their safety.

REVISIONS TO HANDBOOK AND CONTRACT

Country Home Day Care reserves the right to make changes to this handbook and contract, as I deem necessary. Every effort will be made to notify all parents at least two weeks before changes take effect.

REFFERRALS

Referrals from a client are one of the best compliments I can receive. As a special thank you, I now offer families a 50% off of child care for one week for each referral that enrolls. Your discount will be deducted from your weekly fee after the referred child has attended for 4 weeks.
