ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

InitialPlease read and initial that you have read, understand and agree to the following Big Blue Marble Academy Policies and Authorizations. Additional policies and further descriptions may be outlined in the Big Blue Marble Academy Parent Handbook and may be modified at any time or as otherwise notified by management.

Health Related Policies and AuthorizationsFever Policy If your child has a temperature of 100 degrees or more, or any symptom of a contagious disease or infection, you must make other child care arrangements. In most cases, we ask tthat your child remain at home at least 24 hours after leaving the school because of an illness. Re-admittance is at the discretion of the Director. In addition, I agree to notify Big Blue Marble Academy within 24 hours if any member of my immediate household is diagnosed with a communicable disease.

Medical Authorization I agree that Big Blue Marble Academy staff may authorize the physician of their choice to provide emergency treatment in the event that neither I nor our family physician can be contacted immediately. In the event of such accident or illness, all medical expenses incurred are my responsibility. I release Big Blue Marble Academy, and all of its owners, employees, officers, directors, servants, and agents from liability incurred as a result of any act they may perform on behalf of my child.

Medication Authorization Prescription medication will only be administered to children with written parent permission and only if required by a doctor to be given during the time of care at Big Blue Marble Academy. All paperwork must be filled out completely. Only management team members are to distribute medication and will do so according to the center medication administration schedule. We give medication only under strict guidelines as dictated by our regulatory agencies. Prescription medications will only be given to the child whose name is typed on the original prescription label. Expired medication will not be given to a child under any circumstance. Please talk to the Center Director for specific details on the Medication Administration Policy.

Pick Up Policies and ProceduresDelivery of Students I agree that when delivering my child to the school, I or the person I have authorized to drop off my child, will personally deliver my child to his/her teacher or the staff person in charge. I further agree that when picking up my child, I or the person I have designated, will personally come into the school and receive my child from his/her teacher or the staff person in charge. At no time will I leave my child at the school without first making his/her presence known to the staff, nor will I take my child from the school without notifying my child’s teacher. I further agree that I or the person I have authroized to deliver and/or pick up my child will sign my child in/out on a daily basis.

Pick Up Procedures and ID Verification We ask that parents list all possible individuals for pick up on the enrollment paperwork. If you have a need for anyone in addition to whom you have listed, you may call and give verbal consent. Please be aware that anyone picking a child up for the first time will be required to show identification. Parents are also asked to assign a code-word for additional security. Children should be clocked in and out of the online system in the lobby. Please be sure to share your code with other individuals dropping off and picking children up. (i.e. grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends) There is a visitors log located next to the clock system. Visitors into the center will be asked to sign in upon entry into the building.

Parent Drop Off and Pick Up Policy To ensure the safety of children enrolled in our school during pick up and drop off times, please use the following policy: Upon enrolling, parent/guardians are given security codes to open the front door and a code to electronically sign their child in and out. The keypad is located in the office.

Drop Off: During drop off, parent/guardian must take their child to their assigned classroom. No child should be left unattended in the front area, left unattended to walk to his or her class room alone, or dropped off at the front door. A parent/guardian should always escort their child to their classroom. Upon entering the classroom, the parent/guardian must sign the classroom attendance sheet with the time the child is being dropped off and the signature of the person dropping the child off.

Pick Up: During pick up, parent/guardian will sign their child out of the classroom on the attendance sheet with the time they are leaving the classroom and with the signature of the authorized person picking them up. No children are allowed to exit the building without a parent/guardian. Our parking lot is really busy during drop off and pick up times, so please make sure children are supervised at all times.

Authorized Person(s) for pick up: On the enrollment application, parent/guardian has authorized person(s) to pick up their child(ren). Any person authorized to pick up your child(ren) must follow the above stated policies. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to share this policy with those authorized to pick up the child. All authorized people who are unknown to the staff, must have a photo id in order to pick up. No exceptions will be made.

Authorized Pick-Up Denied In the event that an authorized person comes to the center to pick up a child and a member of management feels that the individual is not in a condition to do so, we reserve the right to deny the person to transport the child. In the event that his should happen, we will: 1) If authorized person is not parent/guardian, call them first. 2) Ask if there is someone else that could be called to come get the child. 3) If person becomes aggressive or threatening, call 911.

Special PermissionsPublic/Private School Transportation I do do not give my permission for my child to be transported to and/or from a public/private school. I understand that it is the policy of Big Blue Marble Academy not to allow any child to enter or leave the school unless escorted by an adult.

School Name: Grade:

Field Trips and Special Activities I do do not give my permission for my child to participate in field trips and special activities away from the school. I understand that I will be notified in advance of any instances in which my child will be taken from the school, including the date, destination, and method of transportation of such trip. In addition, I understand that I will be required to provide written authorization for each field trip/activity away from the school.

Activities Planned Outside the Fenced Area of the Facility I do do not give my permission for my child to participate in activities planned outside the school’s fenced area.

Swimming/Water Related Activities I do do not give my permission for my child to participate in swimming/water related activities.

Media Authorization I do do not give my permission for me, my spouse, and/or my child to be photographed or videotaped by Big Blue Marble Academy. I understand that this media may be used for current/future marketing purposes on printed materials, website, and/or social media outlets.

Discipline PolicyDiscipline Policy I have received a copy of Big Blue Marble Academy’s discipline policy. The policy has been discussed with me and all my questions have been answered. I understand that Big Blue Marble Academy does not allow corporal punishment and I will be consulted for advice and/or suggestions of other possible disciplinary actions for my child if necessary.

Suspension and/or Termination Big Blue Marble Academy reserves the right to suspend or terminate a child based on behavior. Parents will be given a written one-week notification of termination, however immediate termination could occur if Big Blue Marble Academy staff feel it cannot maintain the safety and well-being of the child, other children or BBMA staff.

Safety Related Policies and ProceduresAppropriate Dress Your child will participate in both indoor play and outdoor play. Therefore, play clothes and shoes which can get dirty and allow for free and safe movement are most appropriate. For safety reasons, children cannot wear open-toe shoes, sandals or flip-flops. We also prohibit any jewelry on children, including, but not limited to, teething necklaces or bracelets. Child Abuse/Neglect As a child care provider, Big Blue Marble Academy is mandated by state law to report any cases where there is reasonable cause to believe that a child has been neglected, exploited, deprived, sexually assaulted, sexually exploited, physically injured or suffered death by other than an accidental means by a parent, guardian or caretaker, to the proper authorities. Big Blue Marble Academy will cooperate fully with the authorities in the investigation of all such cases. In accordance with state laws, children may be interviewed by investigating agencies without parental or center permission. To avoid any misunderstandings, parents are encouraged to keep the school director aware of any unusual bruises, marks or injuries occurring at home.

Center Transition and Tracking Policy Big Blue Marble Academy uses a tracking system in order to maintain ratios and supervision throughout the day. Each classroom has Transition Sheets that are created at opening each morning. Teachers are to document the time each child is dropped off and the name of the individual dropping the child off. Teachers then do a face to name count of each child in their classroom at least every 30 minutes. Teachers continue to document child attendance throughout the day. As children are moved from one class to another, children are added and deleted from transitions sheets so that there is an accurate count of children’s movement throughout the day. At the departure the teacher then documents the time the child leaves and the name of the individual picking the child up.

Emergency Medical Plan/Evacuation Plan Big Blue Marble Academy has adapted an emergency medical plan and evacuation plan that is specific to each individual center. These plans specify the route in which children are evacuated, the place in which children are transported in the event of evacuation from the premises, and the duties of each staff member in the event of an emergency. These plans are updated no less than annually and are reviewed at staff meetings. If a parent would like to review either of these plans they shall be made available. They are both kept in Emergency binders in the office.

Free and Full Access The center shall permit the parent of a child in care free and full access to his or her child without prior notice, while their child is receiving care, unless there is a court order limiting parental access. The center must be provided a copy of the court order upon enrollment or as soon as the court order has been signed, whichever occurs first.

Operational PoliciesConfidentiality Statement Information pertaining to your child is considered confidential and will not be released by Big Blue Marble Academy to third parties without first obtaining your written permission. However, it may be necessary to share relevant information relating to your child’s family situation, medical status and behavioral characteristics with authorized members of the state child care licensing agency or with persons authorized by the state licensing regulations or law to receive such information. Big Blue Marble Academy is required to comply with subpoenas for information and documentation, without parental consent.

Liability Notice Big Blue Marble Academy has liability insurance coverage. Parents will be provided a copy of the policy at request.

Provisional Employment Including Teachers From time to time circumstances may arise in which the center must provisionally employ staff members in order to meet state licensing requirements. The only events in which provisional employees will be employed are due to unexpected or emergency staff vacancies. Big Blue Marble Academy will follow all requirements set forth by the Department of Social Services before employing anyone provisionally. Occasionally to meet proper ratios and to ensure child safety, with approval from the state Licensing department, we may hire a provisional teacher. Until all paperwork has been approved the provisional employee will remain in direct supervision of a regular teacher.

Policy Statement Good nutrition is vital to children’s overall development and well-being. In an effort to provide the best possible nutrition environment for the children in our facility, Big Blue Marble Academy has developed the following child care nutrition policies to encourage the development of good eating habits that will last a lifetime.

Child Care Nutrition Big Blue Marble Academy follows the child care nutrition guidelines recommended by the USDA CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program) for all the foods we serve. To provide a healthy and balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and whole grains and limits foods and beverages that are high in sugar, and/or fat, our nutrition policy includes the following:

Fruits and Vegetables 9 We serve fruit at least 2 times a day. 9 We offer a vegetable other than white potatoes at least once a day.

Grains 9 We serve whole grain foods at least once a day.

Beverages 9 We limit juice intake to once per day in a serving size specified for the child’s age group. When served, the juice is 100% fruit

juice. 9 We do not serve sugar sweetened beverages. 9 We serve only skim or 1% milk to children age 2 years and older.

Fats and Sugars 9 High fat meats, such as bologna, bacon, and sausage, are served no more than two times per week. 9 Fried or pre-fried vegetables, including potatoes, are served no more than once per week. 9 We limit sweet food items to no more than two times per week.

Role of Staff in Nutrition Education 9 Staff provides opportunities for children to learn about nutrition 1 time per week or more. 9 Staff acts as role models for healthy eating in front of the children.

Meal and snack times are planned so that no child will go more than four hours without being offered food. We provide a variety of nutritionally balanced, high quality foods each day so please do not send your child with outside food and drinks.

All meals that are provided for field trips will be provided by Big Blue Marble Academy. No outside foods may be brought into the center without a doctor’s note or the director’s permission.

Weekly Menus Our weekly menus are carefully planned to follow child care nutrition guidelines at every meal. Each menu is designed to provide a wide variety of nutritious foods that are different in color, shape, size and texture. All of our child care menus include foods that are culturally diverse and seasonally appropriate. We also like to introduce new and different foods and include children’s favorite recipes in our menu planning. Menus are rotated on a 6 week basis to provide the children with a balance of variety and familiarity. Menus are adapted to incorporate local and fresh in-season produce when available.

Nutrition and Punishment Staff will never use food as a reward or as a punishment.

Celebrations From birthday parties to holidays there are many opportunities for celebrations in our child care center. Please be sure to discuss the food items that you would like to bring prior to the party with the center director. For holiday celebrations, a sign-up sheet with specific foods and beverages will be placed on the classroom door.

Professional Development Annual nutrition training is required to ensure that all staff understands the important role nutrition plays in the overall well-being of children.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY POLICY

Policy Statement Big Blue Marble Academy recognizes the importance of physical activity for young children. Implementation of appropriate physical activity practices supports the health and development of children in care, as well as assisting in establishing positive lifestyle habits for the future.

Physical Activity in Child Care The purpose of this policy is to ensure that children in care are supported and encouraged to engage in active play, develop fundamental movement skills and to have limited screen time. Our center encourages all children to participate in a variety of daily physical activity opportunities that are appropriate for their age, that are fun and that offer variety. In order to promote physical activity and provide all children with numerous opportunities for physical activity throughout the day Big Blue Marble Academy will:

Daily Outdoor Play 9 Encourage a least restrictive, safe environment for infants and toddlers at all times. 9 Provide a designated safe outdoor area for infants (ages 0-12 months) for daily outdoor play. 9 Provide toddlers (ages 1 through 2 year olds) with at least 60-90 minutes of daily outdoor active play opportunities across 2

or 3 separate occasions. 9 Provide preschoolers and school age children (ages 3 through 12 year olds) with at least 90-120 minutes of daily outdoor active

play opportunities across 2 or 3 separate occasions. 9 Increase indoor active play time so the total amount of active play time remains the same, if weather limits outdoor time. 9 Provide a variety of play materials (both indoors and outdoors) that promote physical activity.

Role of Staff in Physical ActivityWill encourage children to be physically active indoors and outdoors at appropriate times. Will provide 5-10 minutes of planned physical activities at least 2 times daily for children age 3 and older.

Screen Time LimitationsNot permit screen time (e.g., television, movies, video games and computers) for infants and children two years and younger.

Physical Activity and Punishment Staff members do not withhold opportunities for physical activity (e.g., not being permitted to play with the rest of the class or being kept from play time), except when a child’s behavior is dangerous to himself or others. Staff members never use physical activity or exercise as punishment, e.g., doing push-ups or running laps. Play time or other opportunities for physical activity are never withheld to enforce the completion of learning activities or academic work. Our center uses appropriate alternate strategies as consequences for negative or undesirable behaviors.

Appropriate Dress for Physical Activity We at Big Blue Marble Academy have a Ready to Play Policy! Please bring your child ready to play and have fun each day. Your child will participate in both indoor play and outdoor play. Therefore, play clothes and shoes which can get dirty and allow for free and safe movement are most appropriate. We expect parents to provide children with appropriate clothing for safe and active outdoor play during all seasons.

For safety, children cannot wear open-toe shoes, sandals or flip-flops. In winter, provide a warm jacket, snowsuit, hat, mittens and boots. In spring and fall, provide a jacket or sweater, and boots and rain jacket on rainy days. In summer, provide light clothing, swimsuit, towel, hat and sunscreen. Please label all outer garments with your child’s name!

It is our expectation that children will go outside EVERYDAYl We will monitor the weather temperatures and heat index to ensure that appropriate time frames are adhered to and we then proceed to have indoor large muscle time if need be. If you feel your child is too sick to go outside then he/she is too sick to be at the child care center. We request that you keep him/her at home until they are well enough to go outside.

Professional Development Annual training on promotion of children’s movement and physical activity is required for all staff.

Policy StatementPraise and positive reinforcement are effective methods of behavior management of children. When children receive positive, nonviolent, and understanding interactions from adults and others, they develop good self-concepts, problem solving abilities, and self-discipline. Based on this belief, Big Blue Marble Academy uses a positive approach to discipline and practices the following discipline and behavior management techniques.

WE DO 9 Communicate to children using positive statements. 9 Communicate with children on their level. 9 Talk with children in a calm quiet manner. 9 Explain unacceptable behavior to children. 9 Give attention to children for positive behavior. 9 Praise and encourage the children. 9 Reason with and set limits for the children. 9 Apply rules consistently. 9 Model appropriate behavior. 9 Set up the classroom environment to prevent problems. 9 Provide alternatives and redirect children to acceptable activity. 9 Give children opportunities to make choices and solve problems. 9 Help children talk out problems and think of solutions. 9 Listen to children and respect the children’s needs, desires and feelings. 9 Provide appropriate words to help solve conflicts. 9 Use storybooks and discussion to work through common conflicts.

WE DO NOT 9 Inflict corporal punishment in any manner upon a child. (Corporal punishment is defined as the use of physical force to the

body as a discipline measure. Physical force to the body includes, but is not limited to, spanking, hitting, shaking, biting, pinching, pushing, pulling, or slapping.) And ask that anyone on premises refrains from the same.

9 Use any strategy that hurts, shames, or belittles a child. 9 Use any strategy that threatens, intimidates, or forces a child. 9 Use food as a form of reward or punishment. Use or withhold physical activity as a punishment. 9 Shame or punish a child if a bathroom accident occurs. 9 Embarrass any child in front of others. 9 Compare children. 9 Place children in a locked and/or dark room. 9 Leave any child alone, unattended or without supervision. 9 Allow discipline of a child by other children. 9 Criticize, make fun of, or otherwise belittle a child’s parents, families, or ethnic groups.

Conferences will be scheduled with parents if particular disciplinary problems occur. If a child’s behavior consistently endangers the safety of the children around him/her, then the Director has the right, after meeting with the parents and documenting behavior problems and interventions, to terminate or suspend child care services for that particular child. Parents will be given a written one-week notification of termination, however immediate termination could occur if Big Blue Marble Academy staff feel it cannot maintain the safety and well-being of the child, other children or BBMA staff.

Note: If, at any point, there is an indication/suspicion that a child may have special needs, Big Blue Marble Academy will inform the child’s family and make contact with Baby Net for assessment and assistance.

LETTER FOR NON-PRICING CHILD CARE INSTITUTIONS Participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program

Dear Parent/Guardian: This letter is intended for parents or guardians of children enrolled in a child care center. Big Blue Marble offers healthy meals to all enrolled children as part of our participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The CACFP provides reimbursements for healthy meals and snacks served to children enrolled in child care. Please help us comply with the requirements of the CACFP by completing the attached Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals in Child Care Food Program Forms (DSS Form 16160). This form will be placed in our files and treated as confidential information. All children in our program receive their meals free of charge, but the determination of eligibility category affects the amount of Federal funding received by us. Please review the following questions and answers and the instructions for completing the attached DSS Form 16160. 1. Do I need to fill out an Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals form for each of

my children in child care? You may complete and submit one DSS Form 16160 for all children enrolled in child care in your household only if the children in child care are enrolled in the same center. We cannot approve a form that is not complete, so be sure to read the instructions carefully and fill out all required information. Return the completed form to your center Director or Assistant Director

2. Who can get free meals without providing income information? Children in households getting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (formerly Food Stamps), Family Independence (FI), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) can quality for free meals. Foster children and children enrolled in Head Start are also eligible for free meals. You must provide supporting documentation of a child’s enrollment in the Head Start program.

3. May I fill out a form if someone in my household is not a U.S. citizen? Yes. You or your children do not have to be U.S. citizens to qualify for meal benefits offered at the child care center.

4. Who should I include as members of my household? You must include everyone in your household (such as grandparents, other relatives, or friends who live with you) who shares income and expenses. You must include yourself and all children who live with you. You also may include foster children who live with you.

5. How do I report income information and changes in employment status? The income you report must be the total gross income listed by source for each household member received last month. If last month’s income does not accurately reflect your circumstances, you may provide a projection of your monthly income. If no significant change has occurred, you may use last month’s income as a basis to make this projection. If your household’s income is equal to or less than the amounts indicated for your household’s size on the attached Income Chart, the center will receive a higher level of reimbursement. Once properly approved for free or reduced price benefits, whether through income or by providing a current SNAP, FI or FDPIR case number, you will remain eligible for those benefits for 12 months. You should notify us, however, if you or someone in your household

becomes unemployed and the loss of income causes your household income to be within the eligibility standards.

6. What if my income is not always the same? List the amount that you normally get. For

example, if you normally get $1000 each month, but you missed some work last month and only got $900, put down that you get $1000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but not if you only get it sometimes.

7. What if I have foster children? Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free meals. Any foster child in the household is eligible for free meals regardless of income. Households may include foster children on the DSS Form 16160, but are not required to include payments received for the foster child as income.

8. We are in the military; do we include our housing and supplemental allowances as income? If your housing is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative and you receive the Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance, do not include these allowances as income. Also, in regard to deployed service members, only that portion of a deployed service member’s income made available by them or on their behalf to the household will be counted as income to the household. Combat Pay, including Deployment Extension Incentive Pay (DEIP) is also excluded and will not be counted as income to the household. All other allowances must be included in your gross income.

In the operation of child feeding programs, no person will be discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. If you have other questions or need help, call your center Director or 803-892-5762. Thank you for your cooperation. Julie Morin Institution Representative
