Dress Code: 

Please dress your child appropriately. The activities may be messy. Do not send your child in clothing that you do not want stained. Weather permitting; we will spend a lot of time outdoors. You also need to supply a complete change of clothing in case of an accident; I do not supply clothing for day care children. If the child has no spare clothing, the parent will be called to bring some. If there is a special occasion that calls for special clothing, (a visit or party right after child care or a trip to the photographer) please send the special clothing with your child and I will help them clean up and get dressed prior to your picking them up at the end of the day.

​Rest Period:

No child is forced to sleep; however they must remain quiet. Older children, and those who wake early, will participate in a quiet activity until Rest Time is over. All children will rest on their cot with individual linens.​

Toilet Learning:

We will assist you in toilet training your child with the understanding that it will be successful only if we work together. I will use cotton underwear or pull-ups supplied by the parent. Send your child ONLY in easy on/easy off clothing until they are able to completely undress and dress themselves. I required at least 3 complete changes of clothing during Toilet Learning. I do not launder soiled items and will send them home in a plastic bag. Please replace any clothing sent home the next day.

 Television: 

I allow limited TV viewing of 3-½ hours in a 8 hour time period consisting of Child friendly channels only. On occasion I let the children pick a child appropriate video to watch. Children are NEVER required to sit and watch TV, and TV is not offered in place of Free Play or Learning Activities.​

 Emergencies: 

Fire: There are fire extinguishers located throughout the Home. One is in the kitchen under the sink and on the main floor walls. If there is a fire that cannot be extinguished quickly, the children will be evacuated immediately before calling 911. We will practice fire drills monthly so the children will be prepared in the event of a fire.

​Changes to Care Policies:

Changes may be made to these policies as needed with 2 weeks‘ notice. The policies, contracts, consents, and forms will be reviewed and updated, if needed, yearly in January. Please give written notice of any changes that may occur, especially of name or address, or of updated immunizations.

​Confidentiality:

The information you supply to Linda's Family Child Care will be kept confidential. I will, at all times, respect your privacy. Before any of the information is released to outside persons, the parents will sign a release form.

Drop off/ pick up

Your child must leave with you.
Please do not allow your child to play near the vehicles at any time.​
