Children learn through constant exploration and experimentation. At Giggle and Grow Child Care, we are committed to providing a safe environment for learning. We are strong proponents of positive reinforcement. Each day your child will be rewarded in different ways for positive behaviors. Children will not be allowed to hurt themselves or others. Hitting, kicking, biting, etc. will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis to determine the best course of action. Possibilities include: redirection, help solving the problem, and parent conference. Parents will always be kept informed and involved. We expect that all parents are willing to work with their teacher and their child to create the best atmosphere for all of the children.

We believe that most people prefer to be home in a comfortable environment when they are ill; this is especially true for children. We also believe that it is irresponsible, and sometimes dangerous, to knowingly expose others to an illness. For these reasons, we ask that no sick children attend Giggle and Grow Child Care.

Symptoms that would exclude a child from care include:

• Fever of more than 100 degrees
• Unexplained Rash or Sore
• Discharge from eyes, ears or nose
• Vomiting or Diarrhea
• Productive cough or dry cough lasting more than 1 week without doctor attention
• Any illness or injury that keeps a child from participating in regular activity

Should your child develop any of these symptoms while in our care, he or she will be isolated and a parent will be contacted and required to pick him or her up immediately. Children must be symptom free for at least 24 hours before returning to Giggle and Grow.

We provide breakfast, lunch, and a healthy afternoon snack for children over the age of one. Our lunches are catered each day by Catertainment. We follow all U.S.D.A. and NAEYC guidelines for nutrition.

We ask that you do not bring any candy, gum, or soda to Giggle and Grow. To ensure the safety of all children, we are a PEANUT FREE school.

Parents of infants must bring all bottles fully prepared and labeled with the child’s name. Bottles will be kept refrigerated and warmed in specially designed bottle warmers, not the microwave. Parents are also required to provide all cereal or baby food that the child needs.
