School Policy: Useful Facts from A to Z

Open Door Policy

 HaveHope Daycare maintains an open door policy for parents during your specific contracted childcare hours. You are required by Gwinnett County Child Care regulations to let us know of your presence before entering the home. Knock, and then enter. The front door is kept locked except for drop off and pick up times. This ensures the safety of the children. Please take into consideration the daily schedule when dropping in or calling.

Enrollment

There are many forms that must be completed before or very shortly after we begin care for your child. When enrolling your child there are many forms that must be completed. (There are NO EXCEPTIONS. Most of these forms are required by the State.)

The forms are as follows:

         Enrollment Form

Once you are ready to enroll your child with us, please set up an appointment so we can best assist you. We will be glad to take the time to inform you about everything you need to know, including the relevant paperwork. You can make an appointment over the phone at (678) 995-5074 or by filling out our contact form. We always appreciate your visit!

Illness

Little children often get sick. You should keep your child at home throughout the duration of the illness so as to expedite the healing process and avoid getting the other children sick. When your child is ready to return to day care, we would appreciate a note from their doctor indicating that they are free from contagions. The health and well being of all of the children here at HaveHope Daycare is very important to me. It is for the protection of the children that I must insist on a strict adherence to my Illness Policy. Please read it carefully.  

Dietary Concerns

HaveHope Daycare furnishes breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack to all non-infant children, Please do not bring snacks unless you bring enough to share with everyone. These will be dispensed by the provider at the appropriate time. Food served during the day will include servings from each of the four food groups as defined by the U.S.D.A. We understand many children have dietary restrictions due to allergies, religious beliefs and/or personal preferences.  Should you wish to limit or forbid certain food items for any reason, please notify us beforehand and we will ensure that no offensive food item is served to your child.
