The following pages are from my Parent Handbook, which is a document containing my policies and procedures. If you would like to download a copy of this in PDF format, click here.

 

Section 1 (a)

Introduction

 

This handbook should serve as a guideline for the care you can expect I will provide for your children and your family needs. It outlines my policies and procedures and serves as my commitment to you, your child and to your family. In addition, this handbook details all conditions of your child’s enrollment at Nanny Fraser Home Daycare.

 

Private home daycare has many advantages over public daycare. As stipulated in the Ontario Day Nurseries Act, only five children can be present in private home care at a time. This ensures that the adult to child ratio remains low enough for the caregiver to provide maximum attention and quality care for the children enrolled.

 

In a small daycare environment such as this, it is easier to monitor and implement infection control strategies. Fewer children in the program reduce the risk of viruses and germs transmitting between individuals. Children are less likely to become sick in this environment than they would in a large daycare setting with high enrollment.

 

Children who are enrolled in home daycare benefit from experiences that are not as easily achieved in public daycare. For example, housekeeping and maintenance skills are more frequently modeled and encouraged in a home setting, with greater ease and success than in a public daycare setting.

 

Nanny Fraser Home Daycare is unregulated and non-licensed childcare. This means that the business is not affiliated with a daycare agency. As a result, subsidy is not available. However, I am committed to providing childcare of the highest quality at minimal cost. Many of the policies and procedures you will discover in this manual match or exceed those practiced by licensed daycare agencies.

 

Business hours run between 7am and 6pm . I can be reached most often at (905) 240-2715. If you cannot reach me at that number (such as during outdoor play times or on weekends) I can be contacted on my cell phone at (416) 524-8100 (text messages are also acceptable). You are also welcome to send me email at anytime to chryss.fraser@yahoo.com.

 

Section 1 (b)

Childcare fees are to be paid at a rate of $20 per day. Payments may be made weekly or bi-weekly and must be made between Monday and Friday. Dates in which you will agree to pay fees are negotiable and will be agreed upon when the Parent Agreement Contract is signed. Should the date of payment need to be changed, a new contract must be filled out to reflect the changes. If payment is not made within three days of the negotiated date, enrollment will be immediately terminated without notice.
