CHILDCARE INJURY PREVENTION AND KEEPING YOUR CHILD HEALTHY IN BRENTWOOD, CA, AND SERVING THE EAST BAY AREA
OUR CHILDCARE EXPERTS WILL HANDLE ALL NECESSARY SAFETY PROTOCOLS
At Baby Yale Academy, Inc. in Brentwood, CA, the East Bay Area, it is our policy to promptly notify parents of children who become ill while in our care. The children will be isolated according to licensing standards, and the parents or legal guardians will be notified to pick up the child promptly. Only well children, free from illness for at least 24 hours, will be admitted. If parents fail to promptly pick up their child, they will be assessed a late fee.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CHILDCARE HEALTH AND SAFETY MEASURES
In cases of serious injury, we will make prompt arrangements for obtaining medical treatment for any child if necessary. We shall obtain emergency medical treatment without specific instructions from the child’s authorized if the authorized representative cannot be reached immediately or if the nature of the child’s illness or injury is such that there should be no delay in getting medical treatment for the child. We will utilize the signed consent form for emergency medical treatment.
There is a first aid supply in each classroom, as well as a Bloodborne Pathogen/Bodily Fluid Spill Kit.
All prescription and nonprescription medications are centrally stored and are inaccessible to children. Each container has an unaltered label, and those medications that require refrigeration are kept in a locked box in the refrigerator. Only Directors can administer medication. The Director will ensure that written approval for administering the medication is obtained from the parent, ensuring that the instructions from the child’s authorized representative do not conflict with the label directions as prescribed by the child’s physician.
CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS PERFORMING DAILY INSPECTIONS
