Director
Contract for Care
As a parent/guardian of my child/ren, I/We understand and will adhere to all of the policies, outlined in Day Nursery Centre’s Parent Handbook, including the following, which Day Nursery Centre uses to ensure a safe and healthy environment for children and families.
I/We will ensure my/our child/ren are brought to the centre between 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., unless I/We have made other arrangements with the Centre Director. I/We also agree to bring my/our child/ren into the centre and supervise them until they have been signed in and acknowledged by a staff member.
I/We will use the centre for agreed upon hours, in recognition of the staffing and children’s needs of the centre. If I/We need to change these hours I/We will negotiate this with the Centre Director. Day Nursery Centre strongly recommends the hours of care for children of non-working parents be 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., unless other arrangements have been made. This helps us maintain proper ratios.
I/We understand that I/We need to call the centre if my/our child/ren will be absent and if I/We am going to be late bringing in my/our child/ren or picking them up. Day Nursery Centre reserves the right to withdraw my/our child/ren if my/our child/ren is/are absent without notice for three consecutive days.
I/We am/are aware that the centre’s hours are 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I/We also understand that if I/We (or my/our designate) arrives at the centre late to pick up my/our child/ren after the centre closes that I/We will pay a late fee of $10.00 for every 15 minutes per child (or part thereof). This fee must be paid to the Centre Director during the week of the late incident.
I/We understand that my/our fees must be paid by the end of a billing period (4 week period). If payment is more that 2 billing periods (or 8 weeks in late) Day Nursery Centre reserves the right to withdraw my/our child/ren from the program.
Day Nursery Centre requires prepayment of the first billing period charge.
I/We am/are aware that I/We am/are responsible for fees during times my/our child/ren is/are not at the centre (i.e. vacation, sick time).
I/We understand that I/We am/are responsible for the full day care fees, (Preschool care $18.80, Infant care $28) if for any reason the centre does not receive confirmation or payment from the Child Day Care Office regarding provincial subsidy. I/We also understand that if my/our child/ren goes over their allowable absent days as approved in my/our subsidy, I/We am/are responsible for full fees for any days my/our child/ren is/are absent.
I/We will give Day Nursery Centre, two weeks notice or payment in lieu of notice, when withdrawing my/our child/ren from the centre.
I/We agree to give Day Nursery Centre contact information, including emergency phone numbers and update as necessary, so that they can reach me/us and/or my/our emergency contact should there be an emergency or if my/our child/ren is/are sick.
I/We agree to pick up my/our child/ren or send a designate to pick up my/our child/ren, should my/our child/ren become ill, according to public health and Day Nursery Centre policy.
I/We am/are aware that the staff of Day Nursery Centre cannot administer non-prescription drugs to my/our child/ren. If my/our child/ren is/are taking medication that they are prescribed, it must be brought to the centre in the original bottle and given directly to a staff member. I/We will sign medication consent forms for daily administration.
I/We understand that Day Nursery Centre employees, under law, must be alert to protect the welfare and safety of all the children attending the centre. If staff suspect that parents or designates are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs when picking up or dropping off children or display behaviour that is not in the child’s best interest, they are legally bound to contact Winnipeg Child and Family Services agency and/or the Winnipeg Police Department.
I/We am/are aware that only people authorized by parents to Day Nursery Centre can pick up my/our child/ren from the centre. The staff will not release children to anyone who has not been authorized.
