IN CASE OF INJURY
If your child is injured at the Montessori Explorer, you many want to consult with your family physician to
determine whether the nature of the injury requires medical attention, vaccination (against Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, tetanus, or other infectious disease) or other care.
INSURANCE INFORMATION
If your child is injured while at Montessori Explorer and requires medical attention, your health insurance will be the primary source responsible for payment of the cost of treatment for your child.
IF YOUR CHILD IS BITTEN
Child development research indicates that approximately 50% of all children enrolled in child care will be bitten. Toddlers especially will often use biting as a form of communication. Montessori Explorer will strive to minimize biting accidents. However, it is highly likely that your child will be bitten at some time. If this should occur, We will do our best to comfort your child and care for his/her needs immediately. We will also inform the parents of the biter and work with them and their child to change this behavior.
IF YOUR CHILD BITES ANOTHER CHILD
Biting is very serious and is unacceptable. If your child bites, Montessori Explorer will work with you to develop a plan to correct the problem. However, if the biting is aggressive, breaks skin, does not lessen within a reasonable period of time, or diverts an inordinate amount of time of the provider away from the other children and program implementation, Montessori Explorer may have to temporarily dis-enroll your child until the biting diminishes.
IMMUNIZATION OF CHILDREN
Parents should make certain that their child is immunized pursuant to the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics to protect against polio, measles, mumps, rubella (German measles), whooping cough (pertussis) diphtheria, tetanus, and Haemophilus (Hib) infections. Montessori Explorer supports the Academy's recommendations for Hepatitis B (HBV) immunization of infants and school age children 11-12 years old who have not previously received the vaccine, and the recommendation for chicken pox (varicella zoster) immunization. Without these immunizations, many of these childhood illnesses can cripple or kill. If your child's immunizations are not completed following the recommended schedule, Montessori Explorer may exclude your child for the protection of the other children until such immunizations are current. Per new laws, if your child is not immunized they will not be accepted to school.
SCHOOL ENROLLMENT GUIDELINES AND POLICIES
All children must abide by the health and safety guidelines setforth for the whole school. Any child that displays aggressive behavior that puts other children in danger will be removed from school. Any parent that does not abide by school policies and guidelines will be asked to meet with administration to resolve any issues but if all remedial measures are lost, the child will be terminated from school.
I have read and agree to abide by the above.
