  • Bottles, formula, or breast milk for infants
  • Approved nap or comfort items
  • Authorized medication with written instructions
  • Updated emergency contacts and health information

Health, meals, and safety

Thoughtful policies for everyday care.

Policies will be finalized to comply with California licensing requirements as the license is completed.

Health

Children with fever or contagious symptoms will need to stay home. Parents will be contacted promptly if a child becomes ill during care.

Meals

Healthy meals and snacks are planned, with infant feeding and dietary needs reviewed individually.

Safety

Close supervision, safe indoor and outdoor areas, hygiene routines, emergency planning, and current certifications remain priorities.

Policies and enrollment documents

Nothing important should feel unclear.

Before care begins, families will receive final policies covering payment, attendance, illness, authorized pickup, emergencies, medication, meals, personal belongings, communication, and termination of care.
