Admission & Enrollment
A child information card (emergency card) must be presented on or before the first day of class, all lines of card must contain information.
A copy of the child’s immunization record must be presented at registration. Waivers for immunization must be obtained from the county health department and updated annually.
A copy of child’s birth certificate must be presented at the time of the registration.
Signed written permission to seek emergency care, part of the child information card, must be presented on or before the first day of class.
Within 30 days of initial attendance a health appraisal form must be presented signed by a licensed physical or designee stating that a physical evaluation has been made and the child is healthy enough to attend the program.
The health appraisal form needs to be updated every two (2) years.
(Children will be excluded from class if health forms are not turned in after 4 weeks of class). Forms can be found on-line or picked up at the First Steps Preschool Office.
Toilet trained: A child is toilet trained when he/she can make known their need to use the bathroom and can perform basic hygiene needs independently.
We recognize that children who are newly toilet- trained will occasionally have accidents.
We work with parents on completing the toilet- training process.
For liability reasons, if a child has an accident, the teaching staff will supervise and give any verbal instructions required in order for the child to clean up himself/herself.
The parent/guardian may be contacted to pick up the child.
A good practice is to put an extra set of clothing in your child’s cubby.
Sometimes even children who normally do not have a problem may have wet pants on occasion. If you have concerns about your child regarding toilet training, please talk to the teacher.
