In the Centre
Health and Safety
The Child Care Centre's Health and Safety policies have been developed in consultation with staff and parent's and paediatricians to minimize the spread of infection within the Centre. When children spend time in child care and are exposed to a large number of children, infectious diseases can spread. However, most childhood illnesses are relatively mild and can even boost a child's immunity.
Our hygiene procedures and policy for exclusion of sick children plays an important role in minimizing infection. Our policies set out what procedures the staff will take if your child falls sick at the Centre. Staff monitor the children very closely in this regard and always contact the parents should there be any concerns about the child's health.
