Happyday Daycare

VACATION/HOLIDAYS

Daycare will be closed on the following holidays, and you will be required to pay for them providing the holiday falls on a regular day of care (according to your contract)

New Year’s Day

Thanksgiving Day and Day after Thanksgiving

Christmas Eve

Christmas

Labor Day

Memorial Day

 

I take one to two weeks of vacation every year.  There is no charge if I take a day off.  You will be given at least two weeks notice.  Should your family go on vacation, I expect ½ your regular rate for the first week of vacation in a given year.  Your year begins on the date you child care contract is signed.  Extra weeks in the same year will require full payment. ______________(Parent/Guardian initials)

 

HOUSE RULES

The children will be taught by example here, to have respect for themselves and each other.  They will also be taught to respect my home, property and possessions. Any negative behavior will not be allowed.  This includes but not limited to: hitting, punching, kicking, biting, standing or jumping on furniture, throwing anything in the house, bad language, ect.

 

DISCIPLINE

I will strive to offer praise for good behavior.  Should negative behavior happen, I will deal with it in one of three ways.

Redirection: Toddlers will simply be told “no”, and redirected to another activity or area.

Talking: Once a child reaches a age they can understand and can be talked to.  They will be told in easy to understand terms why the behavior should not continue.  Typically, this is highly effective.

Time out: Should the behavior continue the child will be placed in a time out area.  I use the one minute per age of the child rule (i.e. a three year old gets three minutes)

Should a behavior continue after a few time outs, I will talk to the parent.  A workable solution can almost always be found. _____________ (Parent/Guardian initials)
