A pre-entrance health assessment, conducted by an approved nurse or by a licensed physician, is required by the State for each child. Immunizations must be kept up-to-date. If your child is going to be absent, please notify the Center in the morning. Only well children will be admitted each day. No child with a temperature above normal, diarrhea, vomiting, or a contagious disease will be allowed at the Center.
Children will be sent home for any of the above if they occur at the school. In case of illness or emergency, the parent will be notified. We will administer medication, but the following steps must be followed:
1. All prescription medication must be in the original container and must be prescribed for the child to whom the medication is to be given. The label on the container must contain the child’s name, physician’s name, pharmacist, medication, dosage, frequency, starting date and expiration date, if applicable.
2. All non-prescription medicine must have the child’s name and the dosage on the outside of the container.
3. Parents must fill out a pink Prescription Medication Authorization form for any kind of medication. Be sure to specify for how long this medication is to be given.
