Policy & Procedure
Continiued page 3
Supplies & Equipment:
Tiny Turtles will provide all the necessary general equipment, toys and learning materials for the proper care of your child.
Parents are responsible to ensure their child has a change of clothing with them each day or can be left at the daycare. For infants, this means supplying a stack of diapers and wipes at the beginning of each week. When the supply is low I will inform you to bring more in.
Items Not Welcome:
To keep peace in the daycare I ask that parents not send toys or other goodies with their children unless it is cleared by me first. I will not permit any items such as guns, knives, swords, or other weapon type of toys. I am not responsible for any broken or damaged possessions.
Parent Supplied:
Parents are responsible to ensure their child has a change of clothing for each day or that can be left at the daycare. For infants that means supplying a stack of diapers either at the beginning of the week (preferably) or enough for each day. I will let you know when your supply is low and expect to have these replenished immediately.
Other items to be supplied by parents include:
• Daiper Cream
• Diapers
• During cold season I ask all Parents to bring in 1 box of tissue for

Toilet Training:
Toilet training requires a combined effort on the part of the parents and caregiver. Please talk with me about your views on toilet training when your child is ready for that step. I would like to note here that until your child is fully trained and able to announce that he or she has to use the bathroom, sleeps through naps without wetting or dirtying themselves, those diapers, pull-up pants, or undies with plastic pants will be used. I also ask that you ensure your child has an adequate supply of clean clothing to get through the daily training phase. This should consist of three complete outfits including socks.
Child Abuse:
Child care providers are all required by law to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect.
Termination of Care:
Parents are required to provide two weeks notice of termination of care after the two-week trial period has expired ((2 weeks directly after the child begins care.. ) Failure to do so will result in loosing any advance pay made equal to the amount of notice not provided.
The provider will give parents two weeks notice of termination of care except under the following circumstances at which time she reserves the right to terminate all care without notice:
Failure to abide by the policy.
Failure to abide by the terms set out in the child care contract.
Failure of the to make payments on time or not paying for care at all.
Failure to repeatedly not pick up your child at the agreed upon time.
Failure to complete all required forms in the Registration Package.
Inability of the parents and provider to communicate effectively.
Inability of the child to adjust to the child care being provided after a reasonable amount of time.
Provider’s inability to meet the needs of the child after exhaustive efforts to do so. Childs behaviour is disruptive to the rest of the children in the daycare.
Thank you for your cooperation
