~HOUSE
RULES~
There are certain house rules that all children will be taught and expected to follow. This is for the safety and well being of everyone. In addition, although I realize that I must expect a certain amount of wear and tear where children are concerned, I do not want to have our home "demolished".
Please
note, the rules below may seem like common sense rules, but not everyone
practices them in their home.
«
No running, hitting, pushing, biting, grabbing, kicking,
spitting, of other children/infants/adults will is allowed.
«
No standing or climbing on chairs, tables, or furniture.
«
Children may not walk around the house with food, cups or
bottles.
«
Respectful treatment of other people and all property, toys,
and furniture is expected.
«
Willful destruction of property will be charged to the parent
at the cost to replace the item.
«
No smoking is permitted in my house.
«
NO CHILD IS ALLOWED TO PICK UP A BABY OR ANOTHER CHILD AT ANY
TIME.
«
Children will remain in the yard unless accompanied by an
adult.
«
No gum or candy allowed at child care.
«
NO FOOD OR DRINK (THIS INCLUDES SIPPY
CUPS OR BOTTLES) IS ALLOWED TO ENTER THE HOUSE. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE
OTHER CHILDREN AND THE CHILD MAY START TO RELY ON IT.
«
No child is to leave the side of an Adult to go outside or to
go get in the car at pick up time…ever. This could be a very dangerous
situation and I could also be liable. If they do go outside or run to your car
when outside, I will get them and have them stand by us until we are done
talking. When a parent picks up and we are outside, my rule is they cannot go to
that adult until they are out of the car or on my driveway.
«
Children and families are welcome in any areas of the home that
are used for day care purposes.
I emphasize the importance and practice of good manners. Starting at age
14 months, every young child is capable of learning some of the most important
phrases "Thank you", "No thank you", "May
I/Please" and "You are welcome".
Thank you for making my day and your day easier!
Thank
you for reinforcing the practice of using good manners and respect in the home
environment.
