~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.
