14. Vacations:
You do not pay for my vacation days, but you must pay the alternate daycare provider. If I
need to take a day off, or when I decide to take my vacation, it is your responsibility to find back up care.
I will give you at least ______ notice if there is a need for an alternate provider. (with the exception of sick
days) I want to provide the best possible care for your child/children. In order for me to do
this, I must remain in good health both physically and emotionally. Therefore, the following
days will be observed as paid holidays:
*New Years Eve and New Years Day
*Memorial Day
*Fourth of July
*Thanksgiving
* Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
*All Federal Holidays.
*I will also be taking ____ days unpaid vacation per year. I will give you at least _____ notice
as to when my vacation will start.
*I am also entitled to ___ days paid sick leave per year. This can be taken all at once or
spread out throughout the year.

15. Illnesses and Medication:
If your child/children is sick during the day, I will call you and isolate your child until
you arrive to pick him/her up. If your child is sick to their stomach and vomits, you must pick
up your child as soon as possible. Also, if your child has 3 or more loose bowel movements
within an hour you must pick them up as soon as possible. For both situations, your child
must be seen by a physician and cannot return to my care until 24 hours after the symptoms
have cleared. I must also have a release form from your doctor stating that your child is not
contagious.
No child in the contagious stages of a communicable disease may be accepted for care
unless the child is the only child accepted for care during the period of contagion, or the
other children present are not susceptible to the illness.
If at my discretion your child is too sick to be in my care on any given day, I will not accept
your child/children. (this is to protect the health of the other children)
If your child/children need to be given medication, you will have to take the time to come
and administer it to them. I do not give medications of any kind.
16. Advance Notification for Child Pick-Up:
Call if someone else is to pick up your child/children. A written authorization is required.
I will ask for proper identification and I will also require that a release form be signed by the
person picking up the child/children. If I do not receive either a phone call or written
authorization from you(the parents or guardians), I will NOT allow the child/children to leave
with anyone other then his or her parent(s) or guardian(s ). There will be NO Exceptions!
17. Nap Time:
All children under the age of 6 who stay all day will lay down for a short rest or sleep
period. Please try to explain this to your child. Please do not ask me to keep your child awake
all day, both the children and I need this time to rest. If you like you may send your child’s
favorite blanket or stuffed toy along for them to sleep with. Make sure your child’s name is
printed on them. Rest period is between ______ and ______. Please do not visit or call
during this time unless it is very important.
18. Child Abuse Prevention:
If I suspect that any child is being abused or neglected in any way I will notify the
DFS. If your child/children comes to my home with suspicious
bruises, I will inquire as to how the child got hurt. I will note down the day and the date that I
noticed the bruise, the time of day and the location of the mark on the child’s body. I will also
write down the explanation that I was given by the parent(s) or the guardian(s). Providing the
child is old enough, I will also question the child on how they were injured and record their
explanation. This will also be recorded in your child’s records. If this occurs more than once
I will turn your child’s files over to DFS.

19. Potty Training:
If your child is old enough to potty train, I will help you potty train them while they are in
my care. I do expect you to continue the training once you pick up your child in the evening.

22. Special Arrangements:
Arrangements can be made with me for child care on weekends and evenings.
I try to keep a flexible schedule for my daycare parents, but I
also have a family of my own, so there may be times when I am unavailable. If you need to
make special arrangements with me for care, please try to give me at least a couple days
notice.
