Payment for late pick-ups will be due immediately with payment submitted before the child returns to care. Parents must notify staff if they expect to be late for pick-up. Failure to pick up your child by 6:30 p.m. without notification may result in staff calling Child Protective Services. Prior to such a call, CDC staff will attempt to contact parents or an emergency contact for the child.

The daycare close for all recognized State holidays, Parents have to pay those day anyway, no discount for holidays.

The daycare close for vacations once a year at the end of the year for 2 weeks, the parents will be informed in advance.

All parents are ultimately responsible for ensuring the daycare receives full payment for their child’s, payments are due every Monday, and must be in cash or zelle
Note: Days that the parents decide don’t send the kids for any reason has to pay it anyway, because the daycare is available to receive them.

Each child has their itinerary and based on that we make ours, according to the regulations of the health department, so if the parent decides not to send the child for any reason one day (s), that day is not left over, It will not be reimbursed, nor changed for another day, because it was the parent's decision and the daycare was available to receive them and included in the schedule for that day even if they did not attend, if on the contrary the daycare decided to close for reasons other than a holiday the money will be reimbursed.

The parent cannot make changes to the hours without prior agreement with the provider.
In case parents decide to take vacations with the kids if they want keep their spaces in the daycare , must pay regular fees or deal with the provider, otherwise the daycare does not guarantee their places.

State law requires that a parent/guardian sign each child in and out of the daycare on the days of care.  It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to ensure that any authorized person dropping off or picking up their child is adhering to this policy.

No child will leave CDC with someone other than the parent or guardian, unless there is written authorization, or that person’s name is on the Emergency Information form under “Authorization for Pick-up.”  Or a phone call

Note         : we don’t receive kids after 9:00 AM Unless they have an special situation or appointment.

Sick Policy

The primary aim of CDC is to protect your child to the greatest degree possible.  Health checks are done every day as each child enters the center.  The check consists of observing the child’s general appearance, feeling body temperature, and observing the skin for rashes or obvious signs of illness.  After this check, CDC staff may determine not to accept a child for that day.  If a child should seem extremely fatigued or ill during the day, CDC will notify the parent to pick up the child.  We are not equipped to care for sick children.  If this is your child’s first group experience, it is quite possible that he or she will have more illnesses than before. 

We are counting on the cooperation of parents in keeping children home who are ill, or who seem unusually fatigued, or show symptoms of possible illness.

When a child becomes ill with a communicable disease or anything the the daycare for Disease Control deems contagious, the parent should notify immediately so that the daycare can notify other parents of their child’s exposure.  In many circumstances, illnesses are most contagious prior to the child exhibiting any signs.  As such, CDC asks that parents notify the center regardless of when the child first became ill.

If any parent or close family(that live at the same home) has Covid-19, the child will need stay at home.

The Provider will notify families of children exposed to contagious illness at CDC.

Parents are required to notify CDC within 24 hours of any serious illness the family, including diagnosis and cause of illness.  This is required even if the child is kept at home or if it is a sibling or parent who is ill.

Once a child is treated and is not contagious, assuming the child is feeling fit to participate in the daily activities, the child may return to care with the doctor written permission.

Also the kids with misconduct, aggressiveness and don’t follow rules where talking with the parents it can not be solve, the daycare can do exclusion of those kids because can endanger the safety of other kids.

CDC staff will not administer any medication (prescription or non-prescription),

a parent or guardian must have administered the medication to the child at home.

In the event of an accident or medical emergency requiring immediate treatment, a staff member will perform first aid and/or CPR while another staff member calls 911 immediately.  A third staff member will then contact the parents and the child’s physician.  In an urgent situation, CDC top priority is to ensure that the child’s immediate medical needs are treated.

As part of our State licensing requirements, CDC is required to keep current immunization records.  Parents must provide a written notice of any temporary delays in receiving immunizations.

RDC understands that some families have religious or personal beliefs that prevent them from giving their child the recommended immunizations.  While we respect the beliefs of those families who choose not to immunize their children, CDC must take every precaution to protect the health and safety of all enrolled children.  For this reason, CDC will require a signed

In event that you need to withdraw your child from the daycare for any reason, you need give to the daycare a 2 weeks’ written notice.

Nutrition

CDC provides breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack.

You may bring a special birthday snack to share with the other children in celebration of your child’s birthday.  Please inform the CDC staff about the birthday at least one week in advance of when you would like to have the celebration and what you intend to bring.  Please note that all birthday snacks must be appropriate for pre-school aged children snacks should be in individual servings and parents are always welcome to join in on the celebration.

Parents must inform if your child has a food allergy or requires any special diet at the time of enrollment.  A signed physician’s note must accompany all food allergy notifications and proper medications must accompany the child.

It is quite natural for young children to want to bring toys to the daycare, but it is not allowed.

children nap or rest together after lunch.  All children will rest during this time.  If your child does not regularly nap, staff will provide your child with a quiet independent activity to do while the other children nap.

Infant bottles and pacifiers will be given as prescribed by the parents. Children are offered the use of the toilet when they show interest. 

Potty training star from 2-5 years old.

Parents are encouraged to talk with the CDC staff about their toilet training plans for their child.  Our trained staff is available to assist children and parents with the potty training process; however, in order to be effective, parents must be committed to being consistent with toilet training at home and at school.  CDC believes that each child adheres to their own schedule of when they are ready to toilet train. The expectation is that the child will be fully toilet.

Regular School days-The daycare offer help them with the homework and but if the kids do not want to do it, our staff can not force them, at the same time we are not responsible for their academic development, for that reason we recommend review it with them every day as usual.

Note         : if we have so busy days we can not help with the homework.

During the Online classes from the daycare:

The daycare provides: supervision, Wi-Fi and support or assistance with their equipment and support if the child needs help with specific assignment during their classes and we make sure that the take their breaks according their scheduled,

The parents must send them everyday with all supplies that they need such: pencils, color pencils, notebook, scissor, loose papers, charger, laptop or tablet property charged and headphones.

Note: if the kids do not want to do it, our staff can not force them, at the same time we are not responsible for their academic development and we don’t help with HomeWorks if they are taking online classes here.

CDC staff trains continuously on the evacuation procedures of the daycare and the children participate in regular evacuation drills.  We have indicate 3 shelter places in case of an emergency such: School Ps 111 located in 3740 Baychester Ave, Bronx Charter school for better learning at 3740 Bychester Ave and Seton falls park located in front of the charter school.
