Philosophy

Rosy’s Home Daycare is a state licensed child care agency

offering a home atmosphere with love, individual attention, and

a respectful environment for your child. Children love doing

activities for their parents in my daycare. In Rosy’s Home

Daycare we let the children be children. They need their own

little time to do what they want to do as long it is safe (i.e. if

boys want to play with dolls that is fine, and if girls want to play

with cars that are fine as well). I care for children ages 0 months

through 11 years old. My belief is to let kids be kids at playtime.

The kids can color, watch videos, create object s with blocks,

build tracks, and play with cars or dolls. I do not have what is

referred to as a preschool program, but the kids get to do plenty

of learning activities. My fundamental objective is to provide a

safe, clean and loving environment in which each child will feel

that he/she is loved, valued, and wanted.

An issue that never applies to you, but needs to be written is the

matter in which a person or parent who is here to pick up the

child is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If I feel that

he/she is unable to safely drive your child and themselves, I

have the right to call one of the emergency contacts you have

listed to pick up your child and person.

nature walks. We will also have a fire truck and a police car

come over to my daycare to talk to the kids about safety and

show off their cars. A written authorization form from the

parents/guardians is mandatory before going on the field trip.

During field trips I will carry a first aid kit and the children’s

personal file. I will have an assistant with me during field trips

to help me watch the children.

TYPICAL STAFFING PLAN WHEN I AM ABSENT

If for a doctor’s apt, for errands, or dentist apt., I will be absent

for 1 hour or a 1 ½ my assistant and volunteers will be taking

POLICY REGARDING PETS

I have no pets in my home

EVACUATION PLAN

In case of a fire I will be evacuating my home and all the

children will be with me at the designated place front or side of

the house. Children that cannot walk will be carried by me.

Once we are at the designated place I will also do a head count

and call their names out. Once we are out I will call 911 and

from there I will be calling parents to come by and pick up their

child (ren) as soon as possible and letting you know where we

are at. I will have their files with me at all time and the first aid

kit.

SIGNING IN AND OUT/VISITATIONS

The State of Washington requires your complete signature when

you drop off and pick up your child. If your child leaves the

facility to attend school then I, without your permission, may

sign your child out and in.

VISITATIONS

Parents have free access at all time to all areas used by children.

I really prefer that if you want to come and visit to try to do it

before or after lunch or their naps. The reason for this is because

when children see their parents they get really active and then it

is harder for them to sit down and eat or take their nap.

or dangerous changes to the kid’s space.
