Rules & Regulations

When families put their trust in us to provide their child/ren with a safe educational environment I do not take that for granted. You chose my center above all the others and that means a lot to the staff and myself. I have high standards for my staff and facility to uphold to. There are many laws that a child care center must take into consideration and abide by. These range from the number of staff to child ratio all the way down to the type of food we offer.

Health & Safety

Sick Policy

miss lynn henderson from irving https://clipartfest.com
With flu season among us I would like to talk about when your child should or shouldn't come to class. At Ms. K's we want our children's and staffs health and safety to be our first priority with that being said,  Ms. K's requires a child to be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to day care. Symptoms typically covered under this rule include:
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Rash
  • Persistent cough
  • A fever over a certain temperature (typically 101.0 F)
  • Obvious contagious conditions, such as head lice or pink eye
Vaccinations

State regulations require children to meet the vaccination requirements for them to be enrolled in a public school/daycare facility. Immunizations are given to protect individuals from preventable diseases. You can find a schedule a immunizations here. All our students must meet the immunization requirements for them to start.


Safety-Fire/Tornado/Lock-down

Safety is always our number one priority. Each of our classroom have an evacuation and lockdown procedure chart on the wall by the door. Every month we do a practice drill to ensure our staff and students understand these practices. More information can be found here on Kentucky lockdown procedures.

My Vision

http://www.panthervalley.org/special_education
When I started Ms. K's Kiddos 5 years ago I had only dreamed it would have flourished into the center I have today. Being a parent and am educator I think I have a good grasp on what a center should represent and believe in. My vision was for families to have a special bond with my center as we helped their children excel in beginning their education and life journey. I have made sure that all families no matter the background feel comfortable here at Ms. K's. Being a parent of children with special needs, I know how hard it is to find trusting, experienced educators that not only care about your child's education but their safety as well. I can reassure you that my staff all have experience and education working with families and children with special needs.
