HEALTH AND SAFETY
Nutrition
At Rainbow C.D.C, we feed your child’s rapidly growing and developing body
with nutritious meals provided by the Federal Department of Education. We
believe in the importance of regular nourishment. We give nutritious
breakfast, lunch, and snack every day. Menus include foods children love and
meet their daily nutrition, as well as our licensing requirements. Our first
and foremost priority is to ensure that we provide a healthy and safe
environment for the children in our care.
Allergies
If your child has allergy issues, please speak to your child’s teacher and
the Director so we can take the right precautions.
Rainbow C.D.C policies and state guidelines for programs like ours, state
that we can only administer medications to children if a strict set of
guidelines is observed. These guidelines are as follows:
Medications must come in their original bottle.
The name of the child to whom medications are to be administered must be
on the bottle. Siblings cannot share medications.
The medication dosage must be on the bottle, including the number of times
per day to be administered, and instructions as to how long the medication
should be administered.
Teachers will store medications in a lock box or a lock box in the
refrigerator according to storage instructions.
The same teacher will administer medications each day to avoid confusion.
Teachers will record each dosage for this purpose found in each room.
Illnesses
If your child is exhibiting any of the following symptoms, please keep your
child at home.
Wheezing
Nasal discharge or sneezing
Fever in the past 24 hours
Constant cough
Vomiting
Rash
Recurrent diarrhea
Communicable disease (Ex. Chicken pox or measles)
If your child were to be exposed to a communicable disease, you would want
to know right away. For that reason, please tell us if your child has been
exposed so we can alert other parents. If your child becomes ill at Rainbow
C.D.C, we will contact you to pick up your child immediately.
Injuries and Accidents
We take precautions to prevent childhood accidents. However, as children
begin testing their limitations, accidents sometimes happen. Safety is our
number one priority at Rainbow LAUP Child Development Center. Our vigilant
approach to safeguarding children starts with ensuring that our building,
playground, vehicles and equipments meet all applicable safety guidelines
and requirements. Our staff is trained to be watchful and take precautions
to prevent accidents and injuries. Children receive instruction on safe
practices at Rainbow LAUP Child Development Center. Furthermore, we approach
safety as a matter of continuous improvement. We constantly seek input from
parents, licensing authorities and other child care professionals and we
incorporate the best practices into ongoing training.
Although safeguards are in place, accidents and injuries are still possible.
Should your child have an accident or suffer a minor injury while at Rainbow
LAUP Child Development Center, we will administer basic first aid and you
will be notified. If your child needs non-emergency medical care, we will
call you promptly so that you can arrange for him or her to be seen by a
doctor. We will call 911 in the event of any given emergency.
If your child is injured at Rainbow LAUP Child Development Center and or
requires medical support, you will be asked to sign a form acknowledging
that the matter was reported to you in a timely fashion. This is in
according with the state licensing regulations. We also urge you to keep us
informed while your child is recovering. We care deeply about how your child
is doing and we may be able to help with the healing process. Additionally,
LAUP Rainbow Child Development Center always welcomes your ideas on
improvements that can be made from the experience or ways to help avoid
other incidents.
