Children must be between 6 (six) weeks and 5 (five) years of age. No child may be accepted unless the Center has been furnished with the following:
- Evidence that the child has received a health examination within 90 days prior to admission by a physician, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner who has completed the health examination form supplied by the Center.
The Center must also be furnished with:
- A written statement signed by a physician, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner stating that the child is free from contagious or communicable disease and is able to participate in child day care.
- A certificate of immunization prepared by a physician or other authorized person who administered the immunization which specifies the products administered, the date of administration and the physician-verified history of measles, mumps, and other diseases, or
- The official State immunization record card completed by the administering physician or health care facility, or
- A certificate from a physician, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner stating that one or more of the required immunizations may be detrimental to the child's health, and specifying which immunization may be detrimental.
*The immunization certificate or record card shows that the child has received age-appropriate prophylaxis. This must include immunization against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella and Haemophilus influenza type b(Hib) except where there is a medical contraindication and a physician, physician's assistant or nurse practitioner has completed and signed the medical exemption section of the Department of Social Services physical examination of day care child form.
The Child Care Center does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, or handicapping condition. If, however, the nature of a child's handicap requires special therapy or special staffing, the child will not be enrolled until special arrangements can be made.
Children are admitted on a space available basis. A waiting list is maintained by the Registrar and will be used when an opening becomes available.
