Photo Consent Form
Early Start Learning Centre and/or our affiliated programs often take photographs and or video for scrapbooks, photo albums, window displays and publicity purposes. These images may appear in printed publications or on internet publications (e.g. company website, newsletters).
Before taking any pictures or video, we need your permission.
Illness Guideline
Parents agree to notify Early Start Learning Centre if their child is absent due to sickness. Early Start follows the AHS guideline for illness. This means that if your child has any GI illness, including vomiting or diarrhea, please keep them home for 48 hours to ensure they are not contagious. If they have any signs of rash, lice, or nits, you will need to provide treatment and a doctor's note to ensure it has been treated and will not put others at risk. For sore throats, fevers, runny nose and cough, we ask that you keep your child home for a minimum of 24 hours to see if conditions worsen and need further medical attention.
Credit Policy for weekend programs
If your child(ren) can no longer attend the camp/event, you will need to notify us by email (earlystartfmc@gmail.com) 24 hours before the session start time for a credit to be given.
