Parent Involvement & Responsibilities

 Parents/Guardians are encouraged to be active in The Lily Pad. Parents are ultimately the ones who are responsible for the intellectual, physical, emotional and social domains of your children's lives. We welcome parents to visit the daycare at any time to observe, play or spend time with their children. 

• Bring your child to the center as scheduled.
• Keep sick children at home until they are symptom free for at least 24 hours or have been on antibiotics for the appropriate time as determined by your child’s pediatrician. Sick symptoms include but are not limited to:

  • Vomiting
  • Undiagnosed Rash
  • Headache that does not respond to ibuprofen or acetaminophen
  • Red eyes with discharge

  • Discharge from eyes or nose that is other than clear
  • Any symptoms associated with Covid.
• Bring your child fully dressed and appropriately for the weather and daily planned activities, including closed toes shoes for safety.
• Provide necessary hygiene products: diapers, wipes, and ointments for 1-year-olds through potty trained children. Permission forms must be filled out if parents want us to use external products.  Sunscreen for all ages.
• Provide a change of clothes for all ages in a sealed Ziploc bag or backpack.
• Label all clothes, coat, sweaters, blankets, backpacks, lunchboxes, and shoes with child’s name.
