STANDARDS
Absences / Early Pick-up
Please inform the Daycare if you plan to keep your child due illness, vacations, or to any reason. If you are dropping off your child late in the morning, please notify the daycare as well. The same way when you are going to pick-up your child early for appointments, or and will return later in the day.
Sign-In / Sign-out / Releases
Please write the time and sign your name in dropping off and picking up your child. Be notified that only the parents or the person listed on the child’s record is authorized to pick-up your child. Photo identification may be required if the person to pick-up is not known by the daycare personnel.
Illness & Medication
For safety and health reasons, please keep your child at home if he/she is sick. (Has fever, cough & cold, diarrhea, rashes, or needs one on one care and attention.) Your child may return to the daycare after 24 hours of not having fever without taking any medicine. If the child has been contacted with contagious illness, a doctor’s release is required. Please inform the Daycare if your child is taking medication. I will administer medication provided there’s a written request. Medication must be labeled with child’s name, dosage, and time to administer. In case your child got sick while at the daycare, you’ll be contacted soon to pick him/her up. Please give & don’t forget to UPDATE the Daycare the best contact number to reach you.
Meals / Baby Formula
Northridge Family Daycare is serving (4) meals a day. Breakfast, AM snack, Lunch, & PM Snack. Our goal is to provide children with complete components of healthy and nutritious food. Vegetable and fruits are served every meal. If your child has any food or substance allergies, please alert the daycare.

Medical Insurance
It is imperative to ALWAYS update the Daycare of your child’s Medical Insurance provider. The parents are contacted when children get sick. But in case we cannot get hold of you, we may call your child’s physician, or if necessary bring your child to his/her doctor. Parents/Guardians are responsible for all medical bills incurred.
Supplies
Parents are responsible to bring diapers, wipes personal creams, sunblock, sleeping bag (for Toddlers) and extra clothes for their children. Please remember to label your child’s belongings.

Toys & Sharing Day
The Daycare has adequate selection of toys that support the children’s learning interest. Please keep your child’s favorite toy at home. On Fridays, your child may bring a toy for sharing day. Their toys are going to be a point of “Show & tell” during circle time and hopefully share with their friends later at play. Label, label with their name, please.
