If time is an important factor, we will contact 911, and a staff member will accompany your child to the nearest hospital if warranted. In the event of a fire, the children will be evacuated through the nearest exit and moved to the safest point away from the building. Exits are clearly marked, and fire drills are practiced on a monthly schedule. Smoke detectors and fire extinguishers have been placed throughout the facility and are regularly inspected. Time for Tots promotes the protection of well children by preventing illness whenever possible, while providing the most appropriate environment and care for the child who becomes ill while on site.
Any illness involving a rash is to be checked by a physician.
If your physician notes that the rash is not infectious, the child may return to the site with the physician's permission. If your child becomes ill during the day, we will contact parents immediately and care for the child in a separate place, if possible, until a family member arrives. Positive discipline involves telling the child about the mistake in behavior, stopping inappropriate behavior and then guiding the child toward the appropriate behavior. The Time For Tots Program will always use positive methods of discipline to encourage the child to use self control, self direction, and to maintain a positive self-image. Simple, specific, and consistently enforced limits are established for the child's safety and well being.
