If you do not wish for your child to be apart of the swimming lessons they will still get water time with sprinklers. **No child will have access to the pool unless written permission is given and a staff member is taking them up to the pool for a swimming lesson. Pool is always locked.

Pandemic Contract

COVID-19*

The novel Coronavirus, Covid-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. Covid-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Patti Carreiro, owner of My Little Island Preschool has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of Covid-19; however, the preschool cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with Covid-19. Further, attending could increase your risk and your child(ren)'s risk of contracting Covid-19. In the event that My Little Island closes temporarily due to a pandemic, the FULL tuition will be charged in order to hold the Child(ren)'s spot and ensure the survivability of My Little Island Preschool By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of Covid-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected y Covid-19 by attending preschool and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, or death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by Covid-19 at the Preschool may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, preschool employees and families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including but not limited to personal injury, disability, loss claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)'s attendance at the preschool ("Claims"). On my behalf I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Preschool, its employees, agents, representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs o expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Preschool, its employees, agents, and representative, whether a Covid-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Preschool activity.

My Little Island Preschool Termination Policy

In some circumstances, My Little Island Preschool and our enrolled families have to part ways. This could occur for any of the following reasons:

1. Continual Late tuition payments
2. Inability to meet needs
3. Disruptive Behavior
4. Inability to provide required materials for their child
5. Misalignment of values
6. Slander or defamation of My Little Island and its staff

9. Abuse of staff
10. Failure to provide appropriate and required child records

Withdrawal Policy: A two-week written notice addressed to My Little Island Preschool director "Patti Carreiro" is required to withdraw a child from the program. Parents are required for the tuition of these two weeks, whether My Little Island services were rendered or not.

My Little Island Preschool Rest Time Policy

Rest Time at My Little Island takes place daily around 12:45 pm and lasts until around 1:15 pm. Naps and rest will be provided in a quiet area that is physically separated from children who are engaged in activity that will disrupt a napping or resting child.

A child who has rested will not be required to remain on a mat.
Mats will be placed so there are clear aisles and unimpeded access for both adults and children on a least one side of each piece of napping and resting equipment.
Matts will be placed directly on the floor and must be stacked when not in use Children's heads will be uncovered during rest time Each mat will be sanitized daily after use and each child will have their own mat to utilize during rest time.
Parents may provide a blanket or comfort toy for their child to assist in falling asleep. These items will be sent home weekly to be washed or when soiled or wet.
During Rest time a My Little Island teacher must be in the room to ensure that all children are being always monitored.
During rest time the overhead lights will be turned off or dimmed, but there will be smaller lights in the room that keep the room lit enough that everyone and everything in the room is always clearly visible.
During rest time, an audio book, or relaxing music is quietly played in the room for children who do not want to nap but need a relaxing environment during the rest time.

My Little Island Preschool Bathroom Policy

Potty Training: We will assist in potty training with the understanding that it will only work if we work together. Your child will not learn if they do not do it while in our care and at home. You must work with your child at home, either during vacation or over a weekend before we will begin potty training here. Clothing should be easy to manage to encourage self-help skills. Buckles, belts, overalls and suspenders, when in a hurry to use the bathroom, may create a problem. We also require that each potty-training child have at LEAST 1 full set change of clothing (more recommended), training pants or pull ups. As with diapers, we do not supply pull- ups. If they are required at any time during the day, you are expected to provide them.

Is your child ready to be Potty Trained? Check those that apply to your child.

Follows simple directions.

Remains dry for at least 2 hours at a time during the day.

Dry after nap time.

Regular and predictable bowel movements. (some may have bowel movements every day and some may have them less frequently)

Walks to and from the bathroom, pulls down own pants and pulls them up again.

Seems uncomfortable with soiled or wet diapers

Seems interested in the toilet.

Has asked to wear grown-up underwear.

If the child has most of the skills marked, you can assume the child is ready to start potty training. Potty training may best be accomplished by starting at home first and then at childcare. If the child does not have most of the skills marked, then wait a few weeks or months and refer to the checklist again. Toilet training is much easier if the child is truly ready to master this skill.

Bathroom Trips: - A My Little Island Teacher must escort a child to the bathroom.
Instruct the Child verbally to assist in self-cleanup
- Help child to clean any mishaps so bathroom is ready for the next user Ensure child washes hands
Assist in fastening clothes, if needed

At certain times during the school day, all children are lined up to use the bathroom before moving on to the next activity. During this time a teacher will assist the current child in the bathroom while another manages the rest of the children in lining up outside the bathroom. Additionally, at anytime a child asks to use the restroom, the child will be immediately escorted to use the bathroom to prevent any potential accidents.
If a child is fully potty trained (usually our older children) My Little Island Preschool allows those students to fully close the door and utilize the bathroom without teacher assistance. In these circumstances, a teacher will still be posted outside of the bathroom door.

Oral Health Non-Participation

In January 2010, EEC issued new regulations for child care programs that include a requirement that educators assist children with brushing their teeth if children are in care for more than four hours or if children have a meal while in care [606 CMR 7.11(11)(d]. This regulation is intended to:

• Help children learn about the importance of good oral health
• Provide information and resources regarding good oral health to child care programs and families
• Help address the high incidence of tooth decay among young children in Massachusetts, which is associated with numerous health risks.

EEC licensed programs must comply with this regulation. However, parents may choose that their child (ren) not participate in tooth brushing while present at the child care program.
You do not need to fill out this form to have your child(ren) participate in tooth brushing while they are in child care. However, if you do not want your child to brush his or her teeth while s/he is attending the child care program, please fill out the information found below. A separate form must be filled out for each child in care. This form must be renewed annually and will be kept in your child's record at the program. Should you change your mind and wish for your child to participate in tooth brushing, this form may be withdrawn at any time by requesting in writing that it be removed from your child's file.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call: Patricia Carreiro at 508-332-8785.
