No medication can be administered to the children by the staff. This includes antihistamines, non-aspirin fever reducer/pain relievers, non-narcotic cough suppressants, decongestants, ointment or lotion intended specifically to relieve itching or dry skin, and sunscreen. If you would like sunscreen applied to your child please do so before bringing him/her to the center.
There are very few exceptions to this policy that need approval from the Director. Some of these exceptions could be EPI Pen, Asthma breathing machine, lotion for severe Eczema, and medicated diaper ointment. All medications must have a health care professional documentation detailing how long and what time of the day to administer the medication. All medications must be in their original container with a current date, the child’s name, name of the medication, dosage and mode of administration and name of prescribing physician or dentist on it. Medications will be administered to children only if the “Authorization to Administer Medication” form filled out by the parent is current and on file at the center. Always give the medication directly to the director. All medications are stored in a locked container out of the reach of children. Any unused medication will be returned to you or properly disposed of.
INFANTS: Diaper Powder will not be applied. Consent of a health care provider is not required for diaper cream. The diaper cream must be in its original container with a current date and the child’s name is written on the tube. Diaper Cream can only be applied if the “Authorization to Administer Medication” form filled out by the parent is current and with the diaper cream. Always give the cream to the infant room teacher which will be stored in a locked container out of the reach of children. Any unused or expired cream will be returned to you or properly disposed of.
