Procedures of a child daycare program. First and foremost, after your marketing plan, you'll need to setup a parent handbook that explains your policy and procedures. They need to have the documentation, a child's documentation, their emergency sign-up information. Their shot record and physical from a physician or health professional. And then their health check, their sign-in/sign-out record, the photo ID of anyone who drops off and picks up a child for their safety because it's been known that a child will identify a person who is not on the pick-up authorization thinking it is someone it isn't, and if a center releases a child to that person, that child would probably never be seen again. It is vital to have a proper ID for child pick-up. And also, the documents, the photo ID. And in that parent handbook, it gives all of the rules and regulations of the center, what's expected from the parent, and what's expected from the child that encompasses a discipline statement, stating that a center does not use corporal punishment, that they have other means of refocusing the child if that becomes necessary, and also their menu for the day, what they're going to be serving. It has to be healthy according to the federal guidelines. And then the nap time, they have to have a period of quiet rest. They don't have to go to sleep, but they do have to have a rest period, so that that energizes their bodies for the remainder of the day if there is physical activity and music and dance or whatever the program encompasses, their literacy, and all of their learning skills, age appropriately.
