Allergy Guidelines & Procedures
If your child has a food allergy please make the Director aware as soon as possible. Our desire is to keep your child safe. Our goal is to help children feel included in every single aspect of their preschool day. We believe the best possible way to do that is by having a strong partnership between parent and school.
We rely on you, the parent or primary caregiver, to take the initiative and responsibility to instruct the preschool staff on how and what your child might need.
Meet with the teacher before school starts to explain your child’s situation. See the additional forms below regarding your child’s allergies.
Additional Forms for Allergies
Because we are a licensed facility, please complete these additional forms:
- Food Allergy Action Plan: This form helps the preschool staff know what n.to look for and how to reach you.
- Authorization of Dispensing Medications to Children: Should there be a need for the school to have medications onsite this form helps the preschool staff know how and when to provide special care to your child.
- Snack is a normal part of the preschool day. You will need to provide a safe snack for your child. The teachers will be sure to seat the child away from any offending snack. We suggest that a special snack that would work for party days for your child is kept at the preschool.
