Jiboia Daycare Policies

*In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this website's policies and the Jiboia Daycare Contract Agreement policies signed by the parents, the policies set forth in the Contract Agreement shall prevail.

PICK UP AND DROP OFF POLICY

Please advise the daycare prior to 7:30am if your child will be arriving earlier or later than the pre-arranged time.

Please advise the daycare immediately if you will be arriving later than the pre-arranged time to pick up your child. It is the parents’ responsibility to ensure that children are picked up no later than 5:30 p.m. If you are not able to pick up your child by 5:30 p.m. alternate arrangements must be made.

Please notify the daycare if an unauthorized person will be picking up your child. Verbal or written permission must be received before we will release a child to anyone who is not authorized on the registration form.

In the event that a parent cannot be contacted, it is the policy of Jiboia Daycare to call an emergency contact should a child remain in care after 5:30pm.

A late fee of $15.00 per hour (or any portion of an hour) per child will apply if a child remains in care after 5:30 p.m. unless prior arrangements have been made. This late fee is due and payable on the next bi-weekly payment day.

Please also note that if the pickup person arrives at our daycare home and appears to be intoxicated or heavily scented with alcohol or drugs, other arrangements for pick up must be made. Our assistance will be given to make these arrangements as necessary.

PAYMENT POLICY

Parents agree that all monthly fees (full time and part time attendance) will be paid on the first day of each month in advance, no exceptions. Drop-in fees are payable per occurrence. Unpaid fees are subject to immediate suspension or termination of care unless reasonable arrangements are made and accepted by both parties.

* For further information on this policy, and for more details on fee schedule, enrollment, and registration policies, please refer to page 4 on the Contract Agreement.

NUTRITION POLICY

A nutritious lunch cooked from scratch with fresh ingredients is served everyday, and morning and afternoon healthy snacks will be provided everyday as well. Children’s special dietary needs and allergies will be posted in the cooking and serving area. Special dietary needs must be filled out on a separate form and signed by the parents to have in the children’s file as well.

ABSENCE POLICY

• Regular fees are still due regardless of child’s absence due to illness or vacation.
• Parents must call provider prior to usual start time if child is to be absent.

CHILD ILLNESS POLICY

Parents will inform the daycare within 24 hours of a diagnosis of a serious illness or contagious disease of a communicable nature in the family. This is to protect the family of the daycare provider and the other families who attend the daycare. Failure to do so is grounds for immediate termination of care.

* For further information on this policy, and for more details on symptoms of communicable diseases, administration of prescribed medication, etc please refer to pages 5 and 6 of the Contract Agreement.

DAYCARE PROVIDER’S VACATION, HOLIDAYS AND SICK TIME

• At least 8-week notice will be given prior to provider’s 30-day vacation or a 2-week notice if the 30-day vacation is not taken consecutively.  
• Any other days throughout the year, not related to holidays, that must be taken off and an alternate caregiver is NOT assigned will not require fees; and as much notice as possible will be given.
If provider is too ill to care for children, parents will be notified and if possible a substitute will be assigned at Jiboia Daycare Family Home.

*For further information on paid holidays, please refer to the holidays’ year schedule on page 7 of our contract agreement.

CHILD GUIDANCE & DISCIPLINE POLICY

Jiboia Daycare will follow its “Guidance & Intervention Strategies” section of the contract signed by the parents to assist children in developing self-control, self-confidence, and sensitivity in their interactions with others. Guidance is required to ensure order, prevent injury, and ensure a child’s activities are not infringing on the rights of others.
