COVID-19: March 29th

3/29/2020

1 Comment

 
Dear I-LDCC Families,
 
In accordance with Governor Sununu’s Emergency Order and Stay at Home Order, it has been determined that child care programs are essential. However, under Emergency Order #17 Pursuant to Executive Order 2020-04 only programs providing care to the children of essential employees should be providing services. 
 
An Emergency Child Care Program (ECCP) has been established and Inter-Lakes Day Care Center is completing an application to be able to provide child care to the children of essential employees. We will only be providing care for children of current essential employee families and will not be enrolling new children at this time. 
 
If you are an essential employee, please text me on Remind or email [email protected] to confirm your plans for this week and the foreseeable future. This will allow us to plan appropriately on our end. If you have questions please reach out.
 
Child Care Hours:
  • For the time being I-LDCC will be closing daily at 4:30 PM.
 
Tuition Payments & Child Care Scholarship:
  • Weekly tuition payments will continue to be due on Fridays. This secures your spot in our center. If your family chooses to not pay tuition your spot will not be held, and you will need to try to re-enroll and registration fees will be charged. I-LDCC will always respect the decisions and support our families when possible. 
  • We understand that it is a stressful time for everyone, however, we ask that you please remember that we are also trying to take care of our employees. Our staff members are not salaried and are hourly employees.
  • For those families utilizing the child care scholarship who typically have a minimum number of hours the child must be in attendance: Those hourly minimums are currently waived and you will not be charged a differential for time the child is not in attendance. You are still responsible for your regular weekly cost share.
  • Payment can be mailed to ILDCC, PO Box 1730, Meredith, NH 03253 or online via PayPal at PayPal.me/ildcc
 
Health & Safety:
  • In addition to temperature checks we will be implementing a health screening at drop-off and asking about any other symptoms to include runny nose, sore throat, and cough. Please share with us if you or anyone in your family has had close contact with someone who is confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 in the prior 14 days.
  • Be honest with us. If you have traveled recently to an area with confirmed cases, become exposed, or have the virus itself we trust that you will let a member of the administration team know immediately. We ask for your complete honesty as we have children and staff living with high-risk individuals and must maintain the safest environment possible.
  • If anyone in your household has traveled, domestically or internationally, including to areas like Boston with a higher risk of outbreak, we ask that you and your child follow the CDC recommendation of a 14-day quarantine. 
  • For the time being we will not be allowing toys from home in the center.
If you have questions please let us know.
 
Thank you for doing your part to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Update on COVID-19

3/15/2020

Dear Families,

I-LDCC is currently planning to be open this week per DHHS recommendations and we will be keeping a close eye on how things are progressing throughout the week. We will have updated information after meeting with officials on Monday afternoon and evening. 

In an effort to limit the spread of germs beginning tomorrow, March 16th, we are asking that all children be dropped off to a teacher at the door and parents/guardians not come inside. A teacher will meet you, check your child’s temperature, and will sign your child in for you.

Additionally we have increased sanitation throughout the building and have removed access to shared play such as playdough and sensory tables. We will also be checking temperatures at nap time, and at the end of the day.

We will provide pertinent updates to keep you informed when we have more information.

​Thank you!

Shoe & Footwear Policy

5/8/2017

2 Comments

 
It is preferable that children wear sneakers or tennis shoes during the day as those are the most appropriate type of shoes for participation in school activities and outdoor play.

​Please no flip-flops, heels, slippery-soled shoes, Crocs, open-toe, or open-backed shoes. Shoes should not slip off while the child is playing and running and generally sandals or flip-flops are not well suited for the playground where climbing, running and jumping are usually done. Thank you!

Sunscreen Guide

5/19/2015

 

Dear Parents,

As more research is done on the safety and effectiveness of sunscreens and bug spray we ask that you please pay attention to the following guidelines when purchasing your child's items to bring to school.

- No Retinyl Palmitate (aka Vitamin A or Retinol): Has been shown to speed up the development of skin tumors and lesions when used on sun-exposed skin, and may be found as an inactive ingredient in sunscreens.

- No Oxybenzone: Acts like estrogen when absorbed into the body. Possible connection with endometriosis in older women and low birth weight infants in pregnant women.

- No spray sunscreens: Have a higher likelihood of missing spots, and possible health risks with inhalation.

- No loose powder sunscreens: Health risks with inhalation and don't always stay on the skin.

- No combined sunscreen/bug spray: Sunscreen and bug spray usually do not need to be applied in the same quantities and at the same time.

- No DEET: Health concerns regarding applying more than once daily. Picaridin as the main ingredient is a good choice for an alternative.

These rules are not only for your child's safety but also for our teachers who apply lots of sunscreen and bug spray daily! For more information see the Environmental Working Group's website.

Thank you!
