HEALTH & SAFETY

Well Child Policy

It is our goal to provide the healthiest environment possible for our children. To prevent the spread of illness, parent cooperation in the health guidelines outlined below is necessary.

In order to participate in Grace Hill Kids:

FEVER: Child must be fever free without the use of Tylenol or other fever reducing medicines for 24 hours.

LICE: Do not bring a child until 24 hours after treatment and child is lice and nit free.

Allergies

We provide a gluten-free snack in each classroom. The Nursery serve Puffs and Rice Chex. Parents will be asked when dropping off their child in the Nursery which snack the child is allowed/able to eat. The Toddlers-Elementary classrooms serve Annie’s brand fruit snacks in single serve packages. If, at any time, a different snack is going to be served, a notice will be placed at the Welcome table.

In order to maintain the safety of all children, we do not allow children to bring outside food into the Kids area.

If your child has a severe allergy, please inform the Check-in volunteer so that a notification can be added to your Check-in profile and printed on your child’s name tag every week (with your permission). Additionally, please notify the classroom volunteer. A colored sticker will be placed on your child’s nametag at drop-off as a means to notify all volunteers of your child’s allergy.

Children with Medical Conditions

If your child has a medical condition that could impact his/her time with us, please inform the Check-in volunteer so that a notification can be added to your Check-in profile and printed on your child’s name tag every week (with your permission). Additionally, please notify the classroom volunteer. A colored sticker will be placed on your child’s nametag at drop-off as a means to notify all volunteers of your child’s medical condition.
