What is your sick policy?
All children are required to remain up-to-date on vaccinations as recommended by the CDC.
In the interest of everyone’s health & safety, children are not permitted to attend childcare if ANY of the following apply:
a confirmed or suspected case of any highly contagious illness (i.e. chicken pox, COVID-19, flu, pink eye, hand foot and mouth, etc.)
to return to childcare, children will need at least two negative rapid tests (when applicable) AND none of the symptoms below
a fever of 100.4 degrees or higher within the previous 24 hours
to return to childcare, children will need to maintain a temperature of under 100.4 degrees for at least eight hours after the last dose of fever-reducing medications
two or more episodes of vomiting OR diarrhea within the previous 24 hours
Hospital Admission within the previous 24 hours
unable to participate in normal childcare activities & routines due to fatigue or need for monitoring
if your child has a rash, please communicate with Jenni ASAP to determine if they are able to attend childcare (send photos if possible)
Jenni will follow the same sick policy as the children to prevent the spread of illness.
What does a typical morning look like?
8:00am - arrival & breakfast
8:30am - story time (focus skills: language, social-emotional)
9:00am - activity (focus skills: fine motor, self care)
9:30am - snack
10:00am - play-based learning / outing (focus skills: gross motor, social, cognitive)
11:00am - departure
If your child is taking bottles and/or napping during the morning, I’ll work with you individually to discuss a tentative daily schedule. I joke that I have a Ph.D. in rolling with the punches; I promise we can make any schedule work!
What should I send with my child?
Back-up outfits
Formula / breastmilk if needed
Sleep necessities (sleep sack, pacifiers, comfort item, etc.)
Weather-appropriate attire - If the “feels like” temperature is between 15-90 degrees (F), we will try to get outside to play. Please send appropriate snow gear, swimsuits, rain boots, etc.
How do you get to local activities?
I have a few strollers to get us places on foot, and also have a minivan and large collection of car seats to accommodate the kids.
