Sick Policy
A child should be excluded from the MOPPETS program if he/she has had any of the following symptoms within the last 24 hours:
Fever of 100.5 degrees of higher
Runny nose (other than clear)
Discharge from the eyes
Persistent cough
Unexplained rash
Lethargic/ unable to participate
Any communicable disease
No medication of any kind will be administered by any worker.
Ouch Reports
If a child receives an injury that leaves a mark (or may result in a bruise, etc.) while in MOPPETS, the teacher will fill out an Ouch Report to give to the child’s mom and will explain what happened
Discipline
Our hope is that MOPPETS will be a place where all children feel safe and are learning how to positively interact with peers. Teachers will make every effort to be proactive in handling discipline issues. Should a problem arise, a misbehaving child will be gently corrected with words and redirected to a different activity. If needed, the MOPPETS coordinator will assist with the child or get the child’s mom.
Personal Items
All items (blanket, snack, bottle, sweater, etc.) should be labeled with the child’s name. Tape and marker will be provided. Toys should be left at home.
Snack
Please pack a healthy snack for your child to eat. Be aware that no nuts of any kind are allowed in the children’s classrooms, to protect children with severe food allergies.
