Emergency contact information ensures that we can quickly reach a trusted individual if we are unable to contact a parent or guardian during an emergency.
You should list at least one or two responsible adults (such as a relative, family friend, or caregiver) who can respond in case of an emergency and are authorized to pick up your child if needed.
In the event of a medical emergency, we will contact you immediately. If we cannot reach you, we will call your designated emergency contacts. If necessary, we will seek medical care for your child following the medical release authorization you provide.
The medical release allows us to seek emergency medical treatment for your child if you are unavailable. This ensures that healthcare providers can administer necessary care without delay.
Please include any allergies, medical conditions, medications, or special healthcare needs your child has. This helps us provide the best care possible in case of an emergency.
Yes! It is important to keep this information up to date. Please notify us immediately of any changes to phone numbers, emergency contacts, or medical details.
Without a signed medical release, we may be limited in our ability to seek emergency medical care for your child. In a serious situation, medical providers may require parental or guardian consent before administering treatment.
We take privacy seriously. Your child’s emergency and medical information is securely stored and only accessed by authorized staff in case of an emergency.
Would you like any additional details included?
Immunization records are required to ensure the health and safety of all children in our care. These records verify that children have received necessary vaccinations to prevent the spread of communicable diseases, as per state and local health regulations.
The required immunizations vary by age and state regulations. Generally, children must have up-to-date vaccinations, including but not limited to:
DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)
Polio
MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
Hepatitis B
Hib (Haemophilus Influenzae Type B)
Varicella (Chickenpox)
You can submit immunization records via email, upload them through our online portal, or bring a printed copy to our office. All records must be signed or stamped by a licensed healthcare provider.
Children who are not up to date on immunizations may be required to follow a catch-up schedule before enrollment. If your child is in the process of receiving vaccinations, we may allow provisional enrollment with a documented plan from your healthcare provider.
Yes, exemptions may be granted for medical or religious reasons. A medical exemption requires a signed statement from a healthcare provider, while a religious exemption may require a notarized affidavit, depending on state regulations.
Parents should provide updated immunization records whenever their child receives new vaccinations. We also conduct periodic record reviews to ensure compliance with state health guidelines.
In the event of an outbreak, children who are not fully vaccinated may be excluded from attendance for a specified period as advised by health authorities to protect all children and staff.
If you have questions about immunization requirements or exemptions, please contact our administration office or consult your child’s healthcare provider.
A Physical Health Statement is a document that provides information about an individual’s overall health and physical well-being. It may be required for participation in certain activities, employment, or childcare services.

General health status
Any existing medical conditions
Immunization records (if applicable)
Recent physical examination results
Physician’s signature and date
Most organizations require an updated Physical Health Statement annually. However, some industries may request updates more frequently, especially if there are changes in health status.

Submission guidelines vary by organization. Typically, you can:
Upload it to an online portal
Submit a physical copy in person
Email it to the designated administrator
Failure to submit a required Physical Health Statement may result in:

Yes, all submitted health information is kept confidential and stored securely in accordance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and organizational policies.
