The health and safety of your child is our top priority. At Learning Tree Home Daycare, we follow strict policies and procedures to reduce the spread of illness, respond appropriately to emergencies, and maintain a clean and safe environment every day.
Here’s your paragraph version without bullet points, written in a clear and professional tone: --- We are not trained or equipped to care for sick children. To protect the health of all children and staff, we require families to follow specific guidelines. If a child shows signs of illness such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, severe cough, unexplained rash, or lethargy, we will contact the parent to pick up the child immediately. If the parent cannot be reached, we will contact the emergency contact listed on file. If there is still no response, paramedics may be called if necessary. In the case of highly contagious illnesses such as Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, RSV, or pink eye, a doctor’s note does not guarantee a return. We may require your child to remain at home until all visible symptoms are resolved to minimize risk to other families. It is essential to stay reachable and responsive during care hours, and we ask that you keep your contact information current at all times. .
Staff who feel unwell or exhibit symptoms of illness will stay home. During flu season, all staff are required to wear masks while interacting with children to help prevent the spread of illness. If a teacher becomes sick while on duty, a backup caregiver will be contacted, and parents will be notified immediately.
Here’s your paragraph version without bullet points: --- We follow rigorous daily cleaning protocols to maintain a hygienic space. Toys, learning materials, and furniture are sanitized daily. Frequent handwashing is practiced and modeled for all children, and floors and surfaces are cleaned throughout the day. To help maintain a clean environment, shoes are removed indoors. Additionally, we run medical-grade air purifiers continuously in each room to improve indoor air quality and reduce airborne germs.
Here’s your paragraph version without bullet points: --- We accommodate children with food allergies and dietary restrictions. All meals are prepared safely and in accordance with any allergy plans provided by families. During meals and snacks, children are monitored closely to ensure their safety.
Here’s your paragraph version of that safety policy without bullet points: --- We take safety seriously and maintain a clear emergency plan. Each child has an up-to-date emergency contact form on file, and we conduct monthly or quarterly drills for earthquake, fire, and lockdown scenarios. Our plan includes clear evacuation procedures and fully stocked emergency supply kits on site. All staff are trained in CPR and pediatric first aid to ensure a quick and effective response in case of an emergency.
