All children should be required to have a completed Health Appraisal Form, a physical exam and all immunizations up to date at the time of enrollment. These are to be kept up to date thereafter. Record of a physical is required every year.
Immunization is an important public health policy affecting children.
Please urge your pediatrician to be thorough in completing the health appraisal form. Any health problems or concerns, special diets or allergies should be recorded in the child's health history upon enrollment. A Special Care Plan which requires the approval of the parent, pediatrician, and the Center should be necessary. Each child is evaluated individually, we are not always able to meet the complicated medical needs of all children. Outdoor Play Health experts agree on the importance of fresh air and the negative health consequences of groups of children spending too much time in closed indoor settings.
