Transportation Policy Our child care does not provide vehicle transportation to school or other extracurricular activities. Our children will occasionally take walking field trips. in the event of a walking field trip, a separate form will need to be signed by a parent or guardian for each child participating. Without a signed permission slip, children will not be allowed to walk off of our premises. Parents are always invited and welcome to join on our field trips.

Our younger children may occasionally take stroller rides around the block surrounding the church. The children will not cross any street during these walks. The walks may include going east or west on Vermont street, north or south on Delaware street, east or west on Michigan street, and north or south on Alabama street.

Child/staff ratio will be maintained at all times.

Safe Conditions Policy The following steps will be taken to ensure that your child is safe while at our child care program.

Children will be actively supervised with the required number of qualified adults (adults who have completed comprehensive criminal history check, drug screen, and negative TB test, and have completed all required trainings).

Our child care will not care for children in areas that are being remodeled, repaired, or painted. The administrator or director is responsible for maintaining all interior and exterior surfaces, including walls, floors, ceiling, equipment, toys, furnishings and cribs, in a safe condition, free of sharp points or jagged edges, splinters, protruding nails or wires, loose parts, rusty parts, or materials containing poisonous substances.

The child care will take the following steps to maintain the child care:

1) Clean the child care daily 2) Keep the child care in a sanitary condition at all times 3) Sanitize toys, furniture, and other equipment used by children, weekly and when they

become soiled or contaminated 4) Wash all soiled items prior to sanitization

If you have additional questions about providing daily activities and maintaining a safe environment, please call the Office of Early Childhood and Out of School Learning at 877-511-1144.

Discipline and Guidance Policy At Shalom Daycare Ministry the term guidance instead of “discipline” is used for several reasons. It is a positive term and implies working with the children to develop internal control of their behavior. Our goal is to encourage the children to become independent, responsible, and socially mature human beings. This involves learning to make responsible choices and accepting the consequences of such choices. Guidance takes several forms within our center:

• Environment: A place designed for children. Each room is age-appropriate in furniture size, large and small manipulatives, and supplies required for hands-on experiences.

• Logical Rules: Such as keeping our hands to ourselves and taking care of the learning environment. These are discussed with the children as well as why such rules are needed.

• Curriculum: Is developmentally appropriate, based on the children's interests and level of readiness.

• Positive Behavior: We reinforce the behaviors we wish to see repeated. • Redirection: Often interesting a child in another activity can eliminate potential difficulty.

We might ask a child to help us or send a child a different area to play. • Positive Reminder: Telling the children what we want them to do rather than using “no” or

“don’t.” • Renewal Time: Occasionally, as a last resort, a child needs to be removed from the situation

for a brief time out. This allows the child time to calm down and consider an alternate behavior. If used, time out will be appropriate for tie age and not last longer than the age of the child.

INFANT SLEEP POSITION POLICY Reason this policy is important:

Providing infants with a safe environment in which to grow and learn is of extreme importance to us. Therefore, our child care facility has implemented policies and procedures to create a safe sleep environment for infants. We follow the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Consumer Safety Commission for safe sleep environments to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is "the sudden death of an infant under 1 year of age which remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a complete autopsy, examination of the death scene, and review of the clinical history."

Procedure and Practices, including responsible person(s):

• Infants less than 12 months of age shall be placed on their backs on a firm tight-fitting mattress for sleep in a crib. Sheets should also be tight fitting.

• Swings, bouncy seats, car seats, rock-n-play sleepers, bassinettes, waterbeds, sofas, soft mattresses, pillows, and other soft surfaces shall be prohibited as infant sleeping surfaces.

• All pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, stuffed toys, and other soft products shall be removed from the crib.

• Blankets are not used in the crib; Blankets, bibs, burp cloths should not hang over the side of the crib.

• The infant's head shall have no covering during sleep (i.e. blankets & bibs, etc..).

• Unless the child has a Medical Waiver on file completed & signed by their physician specifying otherwise, infants shall be placed flat on their back for sleeping to reduce the risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

• When infants can easily turn over from the back to stomach position, they shall be put down to sleep on their back, but allowed to adopt whatever position they prefer for sleep; an "I can roll" sign is suggested above or on the infants crib at this time.

• Unless a doctor specifies the need for a positioning device that restricts movement within the child's crib, such devices shall not be used; this must be on the Medical Waiver and completed/signed from the physician.

• There is no smoking allowed in the child care setting.

• Infants will not share a crib with other children.

• Infants will remain lightly clothed and comfortable while sleeping. Sleep sacks can be used during sleep; however, swaddling sleep sacks may only be used until the child turns 3 months of age. Supervised "tummy time" will be observed while infant is awake.

Page 23: Shalom Daycare

Child’s Name: _________________________ 22 At the time of application, families of infants will be informed of the programs sleep position rules and given a copy of the policy. All staff will receive training on safe sleep practices before caring for infants and annually.

When the policy applies: This policy applies to all staff and families.

Communication plan for staff and parents: This policy will be reviewed with the parents at the time of enrollment and a copy will be provided in the infant enrollment packet. This policy will be reviewed during annual staff training and new staff orientation.

I have received this policy and understand it is followed at all times within the infant classrooms.
