I. HOURS The hours of care of the Family Child Care Home are 0700 to 1700, Monday through Friday. It is important that arrival and departure times be punctual and brief so that we can all get settled and proceed with our activities. The contracted hours of care for _______________________________(Child’s Name), in the home of Christy Parish are between the hours of ______ and ______ for ______ days per week. The days of the week that the child will be in the care of the provider are _____________________. For hourly care, you are charged starting from the time you say you will drop your child off at my home, unless I have been notified otherwise. For example, if you say you will bring your child at 10am and you do not arrive until 10:18, you are still charged from 10am. When you pick your child up, I will round your time off to the next 15 minute mark. For example, if you arrive to pick up your child at 12:05, you will be charged to 12:15. The parent should inform the Provider as soon as possible if the child is to be absent due to: · late arrival (i.e., half hour past scheduled time) · early departure (i.e.,docotr’s appointment) · illness, vacation, etc. Parents must adhere to their scheduled arrival and departure times unless the provider is notified otherwise. No reimbursements or credits will be given in the event of the childs absence.Parents Initials______

Payment must be made before care will be provided. Payment must be in the form of cash, check, or money order (USD).

In the event of a returned check, further payments must be made in cash only.Parents Initials______ IV. TRIAL PERIOD AND TERMINATION OF CARE Your Child’s adjustment is important to all of us. There will be a two week trial period before arrangements for continued care become final. At the end of this period, the parents and provider will talk about how the child has adjusted to the new settings. At this time, either party may terminate care. After the two week trial period, a minimum of TWO WEEKS (14 days) written notice must be given by the termination party. If at least a two week notice is not provided, the parent will be charged for those two weeks. Parents initials______ V. LEAVE OR VACATION Holidays: The Family Child Care Home will be closed for all Federal Holidays, Base Down days, and the day after Thanksgiving. Vacation/Leave: When the Family Child Care Home will be closed for leave, the provider will give the parents a 2 week written notice. It will be the parents responsibility to obtain substitute care on such days. The provider will do their best to provide names of alternate providers that might be able to care for your child in this situation. Payment is not required to the provider on these days. Sick/Personal Leave: There might be times when the provider or the providers family members are too sick for other children to be present, in this case, Parents will be notified as soon as possible. It will be the parents responsibility to obtain substitute care on such days. The provider will do their best to provide names of alternate providers that might be able to care for your child in this situation. Payment is not required to the provider on these days. Provider Appointments: There might be times when the Provider needs to be away for a short time (1-3) hours, substitute care will be provided by a licensed FCC Provider, to the best of my ability. Payment will only be required if substitute care is provided. Parent Vacation/ Leave: Parent(s) must give a 30 day written notice of upcoming vacations. Half of payment is required for this period and is due in advance. You are allowed two weeks a year of vacation/leave at half payment. Any other leave beyond the two weeks, full payment will be required. Parents Initials______ VI. ILLNESS Parent(s) should not bring a sick child to the Family Child Care home. A child should be allowed to recover fully after an illness so other children in the group do not risk exposure, and so that the child is able to fully participate in the planned activities. Your child may not return to the child care home until 24 hours after the child was seen by a doctor and/or medication was administered or the child has been fever/diarreah/vomit free. The provider will do her best to minimize exposure and provide good hygiene procedures in the child care home. This will aid in keeping exposures to a minimum. Parent(s) of children who become ill (vomiting, diarrhea, and/or fever of 100 or higher) during the day will be promptly notified and will have to come and pick up their child in a timely manner. Parents initials______ VII. MISCELLANEOUS Nap Time: A nap/rest time will be included in our day. Please let your child know that this will be expected of them while they are in the child care home. If they do not want to sleep, they will be provided with a quiet book or activity so that they may rest. Children will be allowed to bring a comfort item for nap/rest time. Punishment: The provider uses redirection to help the children learn what might be a better way to do things. Time-out is used as a last resort. Time-out is defined as time away from the other children to have a cooling off period or “time by yourself” to maybe just read a book. Supplies: · The Provider will supply nutritious meals and snacks that are USDA approved. The Provider will incorporate activities into each day that will allow the children to develop and grow physically and emotionally. The Provider also will provide much TLC for each and every child. · The Parent(s) will need to supply diapers/pullups, wipes, baby food, formula, and bottles if applicable. Each child will need to have an extra change of clothes to keep at the child care home. The provider asks that no toys are brought to the child care home unless otherwise specified or requested. This is in place due to the fact that this might cause a conflict with the other children. The parent(s) are also encouraged to donate anything that they might think the children would benefit from in play or craft activities.Parents initials______ VIII.
