State Licensing Requirements
TopBuilding Blocks Home Daycare is licensed and complies with all applicable licensing regulations and standards. These standards relate to our home, staff, health, safety procedures, nutrition, care giver to child ratios, and record keeping. We believe that these standards are in the best interest of the children. Our home is subject to inspection by state and city health, fire, and licensing officials.
Infant Only Care
TopWe specialize in infant only care (0-24 months). Therefore, alternative care should be arranged for your child once he or she turns 2 years old.
Termination Policy
TopThe first 30 Days will be regarded as a trial period, in which case either party may terminate the contract without notice. After the first 30 Days of enrollment, a 60 Day written notice from parent or provider is required to terminate the contract, with the exception of gross misconduct on part of the provider, parent, or child. This is grounds for immediate discontinuation of service. In cases of non-payment, legal action may be taken, and the parents will pay all legal fees incurred.
Advance Notice
TopRoutinely it will not be necessary for either party to give notice as it is preemptively known that we provide infant only care up until age age 24 months. However, if the unexpected were to happen prompting you to no longer need our childcare services, 60 Days advance notice needs to be given to us. Whenever possible even more notice is better. This helps us tremendously. Reason being, unlike large childcare centers, we only care for a maximum of 4 infants, and each future infant spot is already reserved far in advanced (usually in excess of 6 months or more). So we are forced to say NO to all incoming requests for present childcare. If we have advance notice of discontinuation of needed childcare services then it is possible for us make future arrangements with new family’s inquiring about daycare for their child. This helps to keep our open spots fluctuation to a minimum, and helps us be able to focus more on being the best childcare providers we can be, instead of worrying about “paying the bills”.
Daycare Hours
TopThe daycare is open Monday through Thursday 7:30am to 5:30pm with the following holiday exceptions:
Holidays
Top- Martin Luther King Day
- Presidents Day
- Good Friday
- Memorial Day
- Juneteenth
- 4th of July
- Labor Day
- Veteran's Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Eve - New Year's Day (Christmas Break)
Note: If the holiday falls on a Sunday daycare will be closed the Monday after.
Sick/Personal Days
TopAs strong as our immune system has become over the years, we unfortunately still get sick from time to time. Because of this we allot ourselves 5 sick/personal days per year. We also use these days for our continuing education classes (CPR, Pediatric First Aid, etc) in order to keep our childcare license in good standing. Of course we will give you as much of an advance notice as possible.
Vacations
TopWe allot ourselves 2 weeks of vacation a year. The dates of our vacation will be posted at least one month in advance. Regular payment rates apply for our vacations, your vacations, weeks with holidays, and provider’s sick/personal days.
Note:Parents are responsible for finding back-up care for their children during provider vacations, holidays, and sick/personal days resulting in the daycare closing.
Deposit
TopA nonrefundable deposit equal to two weeks of childcare costs is due at time of enrollment. However, do not give us the deposit until you have signed the Parent-Provider Contract/Enrollment application and thoroughly read the parent handbook. Your child’s spot is not secured until we have received both the deposit and the signed Parent-Provider Contract/Enrollment application. The deposit will be credited towards the last two weeks of your child’s enrollment.
Note: Please make checks payable to Building Blocks Home Daycare.
Payment Policy/Attendance
TopPayment is due on the first business day of each month or on the first day of the month attending daycare. If received after the second business day of the month a $40 late fee will be charged. It must be understood that to hold your child’s space, payment must be paid whether your child attends or not. Payment is based on contract, not attendance.
Your daycare tuition will remain the same (AKA grandfathered in) through your child’s first day of enrollment to their last except in the following scenarios. (1) When changing contracted days of attendance. (2) Stopping and then restarting paid attendance in our daycare. In either scenario your new payment will default to the current price of the newly enrolled schedule.
Schedules: Unfortunately, we cannot switch around children’s scheduled days of enrollment on an occasional or semi-occasional basis. In other words, your days contracted are your days and cannot be altered on a weekly basis. If you feel you need and/or want a more flexible schedule, then please inquire about the availability of adding more contracted days.
Note: To calculate the monthly payment you do the following, (weekly amount × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months = monthly amount).
Non Sufficient Checks
TopDue to the inconvenience of NSF checks, a $50 fee will be charged for NSF checks.
Late Pickup Policy
TopIf your child is picked up after 5:30pm there will be a late charge assessed of $1.00 for every one minute (unless prior arrangements have been made). Please be courteous and arrive on time. After hours is time with our family.
Health Matters
TopFor the health and safety of your child and all of the children in our daycare, please do not bring your child to daycare sick. In which case we in turn may become sick making it difficult to care for the children at the high standards that we have set for ourselves. We can only care for children with mild cold like symptoms that are otherwise feeling and acting well. Mild cold like symptoms are clear runny nose, slight cough, and a slight or no fever. If you are not sure if your child should be brought to daycare, then please call and check with us. If a child becomes ill during daycare hours the parents will be contacted to pick up their child. Parents need to pick up their children within one hour of being notified. If parents are not available, the emergency contact person will be notified.
Note: Once the child is removed from daycare due to illness, they may not return to daycare until symptoms requiring removal are no longer present. The child must also be void of any contagious disease, unless accompanied by a doctor’s note stating the illness in question is not contagious, and the child is other wise feeling well enough to participate in our daily schedule.
Guidelines For Children Requiring Exclusion From Daycare
TopA child with any of the following illnesses must be completely free of any symptoms before returning to daycare. If the child is taking antibiotics for an illness, the child may return to daycare after the initial 24 hours of beginning antibiotics as long as he or she has a slight to no fever (under 100 degrees), no longer contagious, and is otherwise feeling well enough to participate in our daily schedule. Signs of illness include the following; unusual lethargy, irritability, persistent crying for no reason, runny nose (more than clear), cough (more than slight), difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting, mouth sores, rashes (note from doctor stating non-contagious is ok), pink eye, chicken pox, mumps, measles, roseola, hepatitis A, impetigo, lice, ringworm, scabies, strep throat, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, shingles, and any other contagious disease or rash. Any child with a fever of 100 degrees or above, orally (in the mouth), or axillary (under the arm), may not attend daycare. State law requires that we notify parents of children who have been exposed to certain contagious diseases. Please notify us if your child becomes infected, so a note can be posted.
Note: A fever in and of itself is not all bad (given that it is not too high). A fever is your bodies natural way of trying to protect it self against what ever virus or bacteria is attacking it. Illnesses that cause fevers cannot live in our bodies’ abnormally hot environment. However, a fever is an obvious indicator that the child is sick and possibly contagious, therefore requiring exclusion from daycare.
Child's Absences and/or Vacations
TopIf your child will not be attending daycare due to illness or other, please let us know as soon as possible so the day’s activities won’t be held up waiting for your child to arrive. Also, we need to know how many children we need to prepare meals for. No discounts will be given for your child’s absences due to illness or vacations. If your child will not be attending daycare for what ever reason, you are still required to pay.
Medication
TopAt Building Blocks Home Daycare we do not give medications to the children. If your child needs to be medicated in order to get through the day, and be able to comfortably participate in our classroom activities, then it is quite possible he or she may be too sick to attend daycare. We will however give certain doctor prescribed medications to the children, of course given that they are no longer contagious, and only if the medication consent form has been signed. Examples of these would be; antibiotics for ear infections etc and Tylenol for teething or pain associated with bumps or bruises (not to bring down a fever). If you’re not sure if we will administer a certain medication or not, please feel free to ask.
Reporting Child Abuse
TopWe are required by law to report any suspected incidents of possible child abuse or neglect. Your child can be questioned by child protective services at any time without your consent.
Medical and Dental Emergency Procedures
TopEmergency information is kept on file at the daycare. In case of illness or injury this information will be used to notify you or the person designated by you, of your child’s status. If your child is injured while at the daycare, first aid will be administered. If treatment by a doctor is necessary, we will make every effort to contact you or the doctor you have chosen to treat your child. In all cases, an injury report is completed, and a copy is given to the parents as well as the Department of Social Services. Authorization for emergency treatment must be signed at the time of enrollment to ensure that in the event of an emergency, we can make sure your child receives the necessary emergency treatment he or she needs. It is very important that all emergency contact information is kept up to date and correct. Please inform us immediately of any changes to keep your information current. Parents are responsible for all costs involved in emergency medical treatment, including emergency transportation if required.
Note: In case of a serious accident or sudden illness requiring immediate medical attention, the following procedures will be followed.
- A phone call to 911 is made.
- Child's parents (or emergency contacts) are called.
- Child is separated from the other children and appropriately cared for.
- Parent, provider, or ambulance takes the child and health records to the doctor or hospital.
Evacuation Procedures
TopBuilding Blocks Home Daycare has written policies and procedures for dealing with emergencies and natural disasters. Evacuation plans are posted in the daycare. In the unlikely event, the children will be evacuated to an emergency location, and you will be notified as soon as possible. Our emergency location of choice is the tennis court on High Ridge Ave. A notice will be posted at the daycare with all information on the alternative sight. Directions to the tennis court are as follows: From our house on Telescope Avenue turn left out of our drive way. Make a right on High Ridge Ave, and the tennis court is one block down on your right hand side.
Diaper Policy
TopIt is the parent’s responsibility to provide diapers, wipes, and diaper cream for your child. It is also the parent’s responsibility to check periodically to see if or when your child needs more diapers, wipes, and cream, (not the providers). Each child has his or her own clearly labeled diaper bin. Diapers are checked frequently, and changed every three hours or more often if required. Diapers containing #2 are changed immediately. The diaper changing table is cleaned and disinfected between each diaper change, and hand washing of childcare provider and child is performed after each diaper change.
TV Viewing
TopTelevision viewing is only done occasionally, no more than a half an hour at a time, and is limited to shows such as Baby Einstein and other like minded educational programs geared towards 2 years and younger. Children are never required to sit and watch TV, and TV is not offered in place of free play or learning activities.
Toys
TopWe have a wide selection of well organized, age appropriate toys for infants. Infants will not be allowed to be around or play with small objects and toys. During the initial adjusting period we encourage your child to bring a piece of home with them; a special blanket, toy, or teddy can be very comforting. Photos of family members, neighbors, and pets can be left with us to help remind your child of familiar people if he or she feels lonely during the day. However, please do not bring your child’s toys to daycare except on designated sharing/show and tell days. As much as we try to encourage sharing, this seldom works when it is the child’s own personal toy. It only causes problems between them and the other children.
Miscellaneous
Top- Here at Building Blocks Home Daycare we do not transport any child by car or any moving vehicle, unless a medical emergency requires us to do so.
- Understand that your child may be included in pictures connected with our daycare program, unless otherwise specified by you the parent.
Open Door Policy
TopPlease feel free to come and go at anytime throughout the day to visit your child. However, please keep in mind that in doing so it can prove to be disruptive to the other children in our care. During times like these the other children have a hard time listening and following our directions. Furthermore, if you or any other part of your family i.e. (grandparents, etc) would like to come and visit or play with the child for an extended period of time, please take the child in question out of the daycare, to places such as your home, a park, or on a walk, etc, after which, feel free to bring the child back to daycare.
Behavior Management and Guidance
TopWe believe that the guidance of a child is achieved through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. We also try and teach the children in our care manners, kindness and to be respectful to others. One of the ways in which we do this is by the example we as providers set. We understand that our actions and reactions speak much louder than our words. The children are explained and shown the rules of the daycare frequently, so they know what’s expected of them. Once a child is old enough to understand the rules and disobeys them, by exhibiting inappropriate behavior (hitting, aggression, etc), hurts others, or property, the following developmentally appropriate guidance techniques will be used. These techniques are as follows:
- Positive Reinforcement: The child will be encouraged when he or she is demonstrating acceptable behavior.
- Redirection: The child is redirected to another activity and given an opportunity to try again at another time.
- Time-Out: When a child is old enough to understand the concept of time-out (usually around 18 months), the child is separated from the group for an age appropriate amount of time (one minute per one year of age). This technique is only used as a last resort, when a child repeatedly will not follow our directions or listen to our words, is exhibiting temper tantrum type behavior, or hurting ones self, others or property. When the child shows that he or she is ready to demonstrate acceptable behavior, they are encouraged to join the rest of the group.
- Last Resort: When a child’s behavior is continually upsetting or dangerous to others, a conference will be called with the parents. If the problems cannot be resolved, arrangements will have to be made for the child to go elsewhere for care.
Note: Sometimes if both a parent and a provider are both in the same area (examples would be during drop-off and pick-up times) a child may forget the rules or test the boundaries. Please help show your child that you respect us, the rules of our house, and our property by reminding them that the rules still apply when you are around. We will also remind them of the rules and correct them if needed.
Cleanliness
TopWe take the well-being of your child very seriously and work hard to provide an environment that is as healthy as possible. We are committed to keeping our home and the children in it as clean as possible, in order to help minimize and/or prevent the spread of germs. Our home is kept clean and disinfected at all times. We thoroughly clean surfaces that children come in close contact with using soap and water, or Lysol, etc. The high chairs are cleaned between each use, and the diaper changing tables are cleaned and disinfected between each diaper change. Toys are cleaned and disinfected often, and water-play tables are cleaned and disinfected before being filled with water and carefully supervised when in use. Hand washing is the single most effective practice in preventing the spread of germs. We wash our hands many times throughout the day, as well as the children's hands before and/or after engaging in a thorough list of activities.
Jamie and Eric wash their hands:
- Before beginning work
- Immediately before handling food or feeding children
- After using the toilet, after changing soiled clothing, and after changing diapers
- After coming into contact with any bodily fluid, such as a wet or soiled diaper, runny nose, spit or vomit
- After handling a pet or pet equipment
- Whenever hands are visibly dirty
- After cleaning a child, the room, toys, or bathroom
- Before giving medication or applying ointment
- After work
Children wash their hands:
- Immediately before and after eating
- After changing soiled clothing, and after diaper changes
- Before and after using water tables
- After using play-dough or other substances
- After playing on the playground
- Whenever hands are visibly dirty
- Before going home
Arrival and Departure
TopPlease send your child clean, dressed (no pajamas, unless you don’t mind your child wearing their pajamas all day), fed and ready for the day, as well as all of your child’s necessary supplies needed for that day’s care. Please do not send food i.e. (half eaten breakfasts, breakfast bars, candy, etc) or gum with the children. Please make your goodbye brief (no more than a couple minutes): the longer you prolong departure the harder it gets for both parent and especially for your child. Never leave without telling your child goodbye. Please be in control of your child during drop-off and pick-up times. No one other than the parent or person designated by you will be allowed to pick up your child without advanced written permission indicating the person’s name and relationship to your child. If there is a court order keeping one parent away from the child, we must have a written note from the custodial parent in our file to that effect. Otherwise, we cannot prevent the non-custodial parent from picking up the child.
Supplies Needed at Daycare
TopParents are responsible for supplying the following items: formula, bottles, diapers, wipes, diaper creams, weather appropriate clothes and multiple change of clothes, jacket, shoes that lace-up or Velcro and/or stay on feet (no flip-flops please), pacifier (if needed), a swimsuit (for water table), a blanket or sleep-sack and/or a comfort item for nap times, and any thing else your child may need. We supply and apply sunscreen every day to any child playing outside.
There is a possibility your child will get dirty throughout the day because of food, paint, markers, dirt, bubbles, etc. So please dress your child accordingly for play. Wet, dirty, and soiled clothes will be put in a plastic bag in your child’s locker to be taken home and cleaned. We are not responsible for replacing stained or soiled clothing.
Note: Please periodically check your child’s locker to make sure they still have all of their necessary items needed at daycare. Further more, as the weather changes throughout the year, so do your child’s items needed at daycare. We greatly appreciate your adherence to this subject, as it helps ours and the children’s day run more smoothly to have all of his or her necessary belongings with them at daycare. This way we can care for your child in the best possible way.
Meals/Snacks
TopEach day we provide three nutritious and well balanced meals. We provide morning breakfast at 8:30am, lunch at 12:00pm and afternoon snack at 3:30pm. Milk or juice is served with all the meals and snacks, and water is offered throughout the day. We provide a wide variety of baby food for younger infants. Below you will find a menu, showing an example of the different types of food we serve throughout any given week. The meals and snacks for each week constantly vary in order to ensure the children receive a well-balanced diet.
Special Diets
TopIf your child has any particular dietary needs resulting from being a vegetarian, or having allergies, religious beliefs, or non religious beliefs, etc, then just let us know. If the typical type of meals we serve do not meet your criteria for whatever reason, that's perfectly fine, however, in which case, all of the child's meals and snacks will have to be provided by the parent.
Learning and Fun
TopYour child will enjoy activities ranging from art and craft projects to games, songs, finger plays, storytelling, creative dramatics, exercises, science, shapes, numbers, colors, alphabet, and much more through various monthly themes. Some of these projects will be taken home to share with you, and others will be group activities that you can ask about. We know that children learn best by “doing”. Therefore, the activities the children participate in are developmentally appropriate, concrete, hands-on, and most of all fun, because we believe that learning is an exciting experience. We also work on and with the following: throughout each day we practice on large and small motor skills by reaching, grasping, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, climbing, throwing, catching, kicking, cooing and talking; whichever developmental stage your child happens to be in at the time. Infants and toddlers learn through play by utilizing flash cards, books, numbers, shapes, colors, the alphabet, stacking blocks, puppets, age-appropriate toys, and much more. We encourage participation, but the child will not be forced to participate. Most importantly, our goal is to make learning for all ages fun, and non-intimidating. It is our hope that both you and your child will be as enthusiastic as we are about our program.
Activities
TopWe know that children also learn through play; because of this, we do not under estimate its importance on a growing child’s mind, body and spirit. Therefore, the children under our care receive lots of both free-play and structured-play throughout each day. During structured-play we primarily have only one group of toys or activity out at a time in order to allow the children to concentrate fully on each thing they do. Age appropriate activities will be scheduled with the flexibility allowed to respond to the needs of each individual child and their various ages. Activities that we and the children participate in, include, but are not limited to the following. Indoor activities include: books and story-time, Legos, circle-time, tumbling exercises, music and dancing and singing, dress up, play food, interactive stuffed animals, cars/trucks/planes, arts and crafts, puzzles, flash cards, animals/dinosaurs, trains, musical instruments, balls, dolls, various learning toys, various games, bean bag toss, blocks, large beads and string, song games, coloring, sing along story books, painting, science, puppets. Outdoor activities include: climbing, sliding, jumping, running, balls, racing, parachute, catch, bubbles, follow the leader, squirt bottles, ride-on toys, wagons, tunnels, safe water toys, various games, water table, painting, neighborhood walks, exploring nature/weather, soccer, and yes falling. As you know, children play hard and will get some bumps and bruises from time to time. We do our best to limit the amount of times this occurs, with constant supervision and watchful eyes. Due to the safe environment/toys we have surrounded ourselves with, we hope to prevent any injuries before they can happen. During the summer months (June, July and August) we allow for more outdoor activities and creative art projects. Weather permitting, we play outdoors every day.
Nap Time
TopNap times are typically around 9:00am and 12:30pm. Younger infants can be given a third nap in the later afternoon if needed, and older infants no longer requiring two naps a day will just take a single nap at 12:30pm. The State of California requires that all children under the age of five have at least a two hour rest period every day. No child will ever be forced to sleep, however good and regular sleep schedules are encouraged.
Daily Schedule
TopThis schedule is meant to give you an idea of your child’s day. Actual times and activities may vary depending on time of the year, weather, age and temperament of the children. Age appropriate activities are scheduled with the flexibility allowed to respond to the needs of each individual child and their various ages. Throughout each day we practice on reaching, grasping, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, climbing, throwing, catching, kicking, cooing and talking; which ever developmental stage your child happens to be in at the time.

Daily Connect
TopWe utilize an extremely informative mobile app called Daily Connect to keep parents up to date with their child's day. As soon as an event is saved, it is immediately synchronized on each parents account. Everybody has access to the information in real time. Additionally, at the end of each day parents recieve a detailed email listing the events of the day, such as, when your child was given a bottle (if applicable), what they ate and drank, when diapers were changed and what it was, their nap schedule, and any other pertinent information.

Contract Adherence
TopThis is our home as well as our business, so please be respectful of our family and home by adhering to the policies and procedures outlined in the parent handbook. We realize this is a lot of information to absorb. Because of this, please keep your parent handbook accessible so you can periodically review our policies and procedures as necessary. We reserve the right to amend any portion of the Parent-Provider Contract/Enrollment Application, and Parent Handbook at any time. If and when we do make a change to the contract you will be given a copy.
A Final Note
TopIt is important that you feel comfortable with our policies and procedures. If you do not understand something, have a concern, or you feel uncomfortable with one or more of our policies and/or procedures it is important that you express that to us before enrolling your child in our daycare. We are always open to suggestions and feel communication is a very important part of a quality daycare. If there are any problems or concerns in the future, we encourage you to talk to us about them. If a lengthy discussion is needed, a time that is convenient for both of us will be scheduled, as the other children still need our attention during business hours. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and care for your little one. We look forward to a future of keeping your child smiling and safe.
Note: By signing the Parent-Provider Contract/Enrollment Application, it is understood that all of the policies and procedures of Building Blocks Home Daycare handbook are understood and agreed upon.
