A Trusted Environment for Growing Minds
At Little Miracles Daycare, your child’s well-being is our highest priority. From clean classrooms and nutritious meals to secure facilities and trained staff, we create a protected, nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and thrive with confidence.
Safe Sleep
For infants, sleep routines are customized based on your child’s needs and your family’s preferences, in collaboration with your child’s teachers. Your Center Director will provide guidelines for bedding and washing instructions for all sleep items.
Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, all infants are placed on their backs to sleep unless otherwise directed by a medical professional. To ensure safety, no items, except a pacifier or necessary medical devices, will be in the crib. Children are always supervised during rest times, with appropriate lighting to allow clear visibility of their faces.
Older children who use blankets are closely monitored to ensure their faces are not covered during rest time.
Allergies
If your child has allergies, please let your Center Director know and provide details in your Enrollment Agreement. We will work closely with you and your child’s healthcare provider to manage allergies and ensure their safety at the center.
Due to the risk of severe nut allergies, we ask that nut-containing items are not brought to the center. If your child has an allergy that may require a medical response (such as using an EpiPen), inform our Center Director so we can update records and complete any necessary training.
Handwashing
Handwashing is essential to maintaining health, and we encourage your child to take part in this habit from an early age. Your child will wash their hands before meals, after bathroom visits, upon returning from outdoor play, and at other times throughout the day.
We encourage you to reinforce hand washing at home by making it a fun and engaging activity. Child-friendly soaps in fun colors or scents can help make handwashing more exciting, ensuring your child develops this important habit!
Drop-off / Pick-up Security
At Little Miracles Daycare, all children must be signed in and out daily using our secure electronic system, Brightwheel. Parents and guardians should also check in directly with a staff member during drop-off and pick-up.
When enrolling, families provide a list of authorized individuals who may pick up their child. This list must be kept accurate and up to date. Written authorization is required for anyone not on the list, and unknown individuals must present a government-issued photo ID. Children are only released to authorized adults over the age of 18, unless they are the legal parent or guardian.
Confidentiality and Records
we value your family’s privacy and take confidentiality seriously. Your child’s records are only accessible to staff directly involved in their care, licensing agencies, or authorities as required by law. No information is shared without your written consent or a legal mandate. Parents and guardians may request access to records such as enrollment agreements, progress notes, or incident reports at any time through the Center Director, and updates can be made as needed.
If your child withdraws from the program, records will be retained for the period required by local regulations, with copies available upon request for a small administrative fee. To further protect all families, we kindly ask that photos or videos of other children taken at the daycare not be shared on social media or online platforms.
Emergency Preparedness & Safety Plans
your child’s safety is always our priority. We regularly conduct evacuation drills as required by local regulations, and each classroom has an emergency plan and procedures posted for your awareness.
In the event of an evacuation, families will be notified as soon as children are safely relocated. If direct contact with the center isn’t possible, our District Manager or Family Support team can provide updates. In certain cases, we may also ask families to supply specific items to support overall safety and preparedness.
