MEDICATION AND ILLNESS
St. Timothy staff is not permitted to administer or dispense any medications without proper written authorization from the parent. This includes even simple items such as sunscreen and diaper ointments. Please do not send your child to school with a fever (a temperature of over 99 degrees), any type of discharge from the eyes or nose, a cough, vomiting, diarrhea or rash of any kind.  These precautions allow the child to attend Daycare/Preschool without risking exposure to others.  If a child runs a fever higher than 99.9 degrees feirenheit while they are at school, parents will be notified and the child will need to be picked up as soon as possible.  In addition, the child will not be permitted to return to school until they are fever free for at least 24 hours without the aid of Tylenol, Motrin, or other fever reducing medications.

MINOR INJURIES
Bumps, bruises, cuts and scrapes are not considered serious injuries and will be tended to by a qualified staff member. The parent will be informed of such incidents at the end of the day. If the injury is of a more serious nature, we will notify the parent immediately. Excellent healthcare facilities are close by, should such measures be required. The enrollment procedure will include authorization for St. Timothy’s to take whatever emergency measures are deemed necessary. These measures are posted in  each classroom as well as at the entrance of the Children’s Center.
