The following is a list of rules and regulations governing our child care agreement. Please read this handbook thoroughly as it contains many important policies and procedures that pertain to the care of your child. If you have any questions or need clarification, please ask prior to signing! The contents of this contract and all forms required for enrollment are non-negotiable.
ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES
All necessary forms must be completed and returned to me before I will assume the responsibility of caring for your child. No Exceptions! All forms must be updated at least every year, sometimes sooner according to need. Please inform me immediately of any changes.
Listed below you will find the list of forms that you need to return to Lil’ Vikings Daycare before or on your child’s first day.
Forms needed:
*Parent Handbook
*Financial Agreement
*Registration Form
*Admission and Arrangements (State Form)
*Immunization Record (State Form)
*Permission to Administer (State Form)
AGES SERVED
The ages of the children I serve are 6 weeks up to and including kindergarten. I am occasionally available for after school or no school days to care for older children. Arrangements must be made in advance. Please keep in mind I do not provide transportation to and from school and my home.
DAYS AND HOURS OF OPERATION
Lil’ Vikings Daycare is open Monday - Friday, 6:30a.m. to 5:00p.m. Childcare is offered on the first Saturday of each month from 9AM-3PM, at the rate of $15 per child. Please remember that your fee is based on the hours you contract for, not the hours that I am open.
If you at times require an earlier drop-off, you must call in advance to authorize this. An extra fee will be charged. Late fee’s will also be charged for pick-ups past your agreed upon times. (See financial agreement)
SIGN-IN SHEET
There is a sign in sheet on the bulletin board. Please sign your child in and out each day.
ABSENCES/LATE ARRIVAL
If your child will be absent or late, please call to let me know. This will help us plan our day and is especially helpful in planning meals. Your child’s absence will NOT reduce your weekly fee. If you do not arrive on time, and have not called, you risk us not being available to take your child.
ARRIVING ON TIME
Please remember that this is a business not a babysitting service. I have children of my own and they are very busy with school and activities and I need to be available to them each day after business hours. If you suspect that you may be late in picking up your child, you will need to arrange for a back up person to come in your place. Please don't assume that I will be available to stay with your child. In the event that you use a backup person to come for your child, please call me in advance and instruct this person to show me their photo identification upon arrival. As a reminder, your child care hours are outlined in your contract, if you are scheduled to arrive at 4:30, please stick to this schedule as closely as possible. If you cannot you MUST call to see if I am available to keep your child the additional time.
