In order to enroll in the Acorn ELC, each child is required by the Day Nurseries Act and the Health Department to provide a doctor’s report showing evidence of up-to-date immunization.
Vigilance about health matters is critical in a day care centre. The health of all the children depends on the co-operation of all parents/guardians and staff based on the current health standards.
Sending a sick child to daycare jeopardizes not only that child’s health, but also that of the others in the daycare. It is imperative therefore, that parents/guardians plan for alternative care for their sick child. Parents/guardians are encouraged to keep us informed and up-to-date about any concerns they may have with respect to their child’s health.
The following are some important health policies that will be immediately sent home for treatment of the condition and will be advised of our lice policy as outlined by the Health Department.
