Health and Safety
Emergency Policy
We have first aid kits in each classroom and the front office. Each preschool classroom also has emergency and evacuation procedures posted near their telephone. Each daycare teacher has a copy of the emergency cards for their childcare classroom. If there is a fire or other emergency, you will be notified by telephone or text within 30 minutes and also receive written notification within 24 hours. If your child has an accident or injury while attending Stepping Stones Childcare, you will receive a written report of the accident and if necessary phone calls.
Medication
If your child does have an illness that requires medication, the following policy will be in place at our preschool: To give medication we must have a signed consent form and all medication must be in the original bottle/container. All medications must be prescribed by a doctor. It will be kept in a locked box in the preschool office/office fridge.
Illness
If your child has a fever (101 degrees or higher), cold/flu symptoms, is vomiting, or has diarrhea, please keep them at home. Also, if they experience these symptoms while attending Stepping Stones, we will ask you to pick up your child. If a child is sent home from preschool they will not be allowed to return for atleast 24 hours.
Pest Control
A notice will be posted at least 48 hours in advance of any pest control service that is done at Stepping Stones Childcare. It will include the date of service and what pesticides will be used. It is the parent’s responsibility to inform Stepping Stones daycare of any allergies your child may have to these pesticides.
Cameras
Stepping Stones preschool utilizes a daycare video streaming system from KidsVision. We provide camera access for our parents and families to see their children throughout the day, and it helps our team monitor the activities of each class. This feature is a small fee in additon to tuition. You can read more about KidsVision web camera system.
