Peter's Home Policies and Procedures
Absences
In the event your child is absent from St. Peter's, tuition payment is
required in order to retain your child's placement in our program. A form
must be filled out in the office for planned days and weeks absent. Any
child that is absent for a week without notifying the Director will automatically
be discharged on Friday of that week. Payment is due the week prior to
the absence.

Court
Matters

Illnesses
We have full time First Aid Attendants on staff for the health and well
being of your child. If your child is mildly ill (temperature below 101)
please provide the medication provided by their physician to treat their
symptoms. We are allowed to dispense these medications after having the
physician's and the parent's written authorizations. You may find the
form necessary here or in the office.
Each
child shall be observed throughout the day for symptoms of illness and
injury. When symptoms of mild illnesses such as more than one episode
of vomiting/diarrhea in one day, or an oral temperature of 101 Fahrenheit
or higher the child's parents shall be informed so that they can make
alternate arrangements for the child's care. Parents will not be notified
by telephone unless their child has a temperature of 101 or have more
than one case of vomiting or diarrhea in one day.
A child
with a communicable disease will be taken to the Director/Assistant Director
and the parent will be contacted to pick them up.

Medical
We require that all children's immunizations be up to date as appropriate
for their age. The immunization schedule is as follows: 2 mos; 5 mos;
7 mos; 16 mos; and 4-6 years of age. THE LICENSING DEPT. REQUIRES annual
medical exams for all children.

Outdoor Play
We take
the children out to play all year round except during inclement weather.
Please provide proper clothing so that your child may enjoy the play time
outside. All children will be expected to play outdoors if attending school.

only to parents/guardians and a signature is required every day. In the

Home must be notified and a signed form completed. An additional form
is needed if the alternate person is not listed on the emergency form.
Positive ID is required in order for the child to be released. Under no
circumstances will a child be released to minor.

Rest
Period
Nap time is a quiet time where the children are allowed to rest. We do
not require that the child go to sleep, but the child must be quiet so
others may sleep. Most children need to sleep because of the vigorous
activities of the morning.
From
9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. the doors of St. Peter's Home are locked for security
reasons. All who visit must come through the front door and ring the door
bell.
