A Parent's Guide to Regulated Child Care

This information handout provides information about:

• The requirements that State-regulated child care centers must meet.

• Your rights and responsibilities as the parent of a child in regulated child care

• How and where to file a complaint if you believe your child care provider had violated state child care licensing regulations.

Who Regulates Child Care:

• All child care in the state of Nevada is regulated by the Bureau of Services for Child Care (BSCC) which is are part of the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance

• The Bureau of Services for Child Care and the Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance are apart of the Department of Health and Human Services.

• All child care facilities must meet minimum health, safety, and program standards set by Nevada law. To remain licensed, facilities must maintain compliance to those standards. Every licensed facility is inspected by the BSCC at random quarterly to evaluate the facility’s compliance with child care regulations.

• BSCC is responsible for: issuing child care licenses, inspecting child care facilities and investigating complaints against licensed child care.

• There are two types of regulated child care facilities: family child care homes and child care centers.

Child Care Centers must meet the following requirements:

• Licenses must be posted in a public place within the facility.

• Licensee must ensure that the facility meets all the standards for environmental health which are established by the Bureau of Consumer Health Protection of the Health Department.

• Facilities are required to have insurance to protect against liability to third parties

• All care takers are mandated reporters and must complete a program on the signs and symptoms of illness, the administration of first aid, as well as reporting abuse and neglect.

• All care takers must be CPR certified.

• All care takers are required to receive 15 hours of continuing education annually.

• For a full list of licensing regulations see the BSCC website:

EMERGENT CURRICULUM

At Coronado Prep we use the Emergent Curriculum. Emergent curriculum is a way of planning curriculum based on the student’s interest and passions as well as the teacher’s. To plan an emergent curriculum requires observation, documentation, creative brainstorming, flexibility and patience. Rather than starting with a lesson plan which requires a “hook” to get the children interested, emergent curriculum starts with the children’s interests. This is not to say that the teacher has no input, in fact teachers may well have a general topic they think is important for children to study and they may purposely include certain materials or experiences related to it.

Children between the ages of one year old to five years old do not learn because they are taught. They learn as a result of their own doing, through actions, relationships, inquiries, opportunities and repetition. Our teachers become research partners with children, seeking answers to questions and supporting investigation. Our school is their laboratory, offering the materials and tools to inspire each child.

Children learn when they run, jump, dress up, speak, socialize, read, listen, sing, paint, catch, kick, hit, throw, climb, observe, swing, question, scream, pull, push, rhyme, create and much more.

Therefore, our first and most important goal with the emergent curriculum is to inspire delight, curiosity and inquiry in the classroom. Doing this has become proven to build intrinsic motivation and a long-term love of learning. This is the greatest gift our teachers can give a child in preparation for their primary school experience.

Our emergent curriculum require our teachers, in knowing HOW and WHAT children can learn at these milestones to support and guide learning as it emerges naturally inside the school, in the natural world and in our community as a whole.

Sick Policy

In order to maintain a healthy school environment we need to have a strict sick policy. Keeping sick children home helps prevent the spread of disease and also help them get better faster. Per Health and State regulations we cannot care for a sick child.

What we consider being Sick

If your child displays any of the following symptoms:

o Fever over 100 degrees

o Two or more episodes of vomiting.

o Acute diarrhea: 3 or more watery stools

o Red eye with drainage

o Sore throat or severe coughing

o Difficult or rapid breathing

o Skin rashes, excluding diaper rashes.

o Lethargy, irritability, persistent crying and/difficulty breathing.

Being sent home from school

We will not send a child home with a common cold, unless it is accompanied by a fever or other severe symptoms. It is important to keep in mind that sometimes young children are ill without displaying “classic” signs of sickness (fever, vomiting…). If your child’s Illness prevents them from comfortably participating in activities or results in a greater need for care then what the teacher can provide without compromising the health and safety of the other children they will be sent home.

When you are notified that your child needs to be picked up it is important to remove the child from the facility as soon as possible to keep the chance of spreading the illness down. When your child is sent home from school they are automatically excluded from care for the next 24 hours. Regardless of if there is a doctor’s note provided.

Returning to school and Medication

Child needs to be fever free without the aid of over the counter medication for 24 hours to come to school. If your child is on antibiotics they must receive the first day’s dosage at home before returning to school. In order for us to give any medication a permission to administer medication form must be filled out. We will not administer any medication without this release.

Behavior Management Policy

Since children occasionally need discipline. It is important that we have similar styles in all of our classrooms and if possible in the homes as well to maintain consistency and minimize confusion as to what the boundaries are and what is expected of him or her. At school children will be modeled appropriate behaviors by peers and teachers. Teachers will work to encourage and reinforce the appropriate and positive behaviors that they see. Children will be taught what behaviors are inappropriate, and why, and given examples on other ways to behave. Teachers will help children make good decisions and pick proper behaviors. Teachers will try to redirect children but when needed we will utilize "thinking time" so the child can calm down and regroup. We want to create a learning environment where children can learn and play appropriately. We want our children to learn how to have self-control and respect for themselves and others. We feel it is important to teach children these skills so they are ready for the expectations they will have in elementary school.

Coronado Prep pledges to

• use no corporal punishment

• reinforce positive behavior with praise and encouragement

• talk to children with courtesy and respect

• develop confidence, self discipline and self esteem

• never use harsh or demeaning language

• Never deny a child food, toileting or rest privileges

• never punish a child for toileting issues

Dealing with inappropriate behavior

• challenging behavior will be addressed in a calm but assertive manner

• The child's energies will be re-directed by offering alternative and positive options

• disruptive behavior that prevents other children from enjoying themselves will require removing the child temporarily from the activity session

• Children will be given the opportunity to make amends for their behavior

• Parents will be informed of inappropriate behavior upon pick up via written and verbal communication

* Only in the event of an extremely serious or dangerous incident will a child be suspended. In such circumstances the child's parents will be contact and maybe asked to collect their child.
