Health Care and Nutrition

Daily nutrition is planned by our cook and director with the assistance of the Public Health Dietitian. Together they closely follow the Canada's Food Guide as well as taking special care in the amount of sugar and additives that are being used.  Special arrangements are made for children with allergies.

Hand washing is encouraged after using the bathroom; wiping the nose; changing clothes after toileting accident; before eating, serving or preparing food; and whenever a person has been sneezed or coughed upon. Children's hand washing is supervised by staff and taught when necessary.

Public Health Nurse and Immunizations

A Public Health Nurse is assigned to each day care centre to assure that required sanitary and health practices are being carried out. It is required, unless there are religious or health restrictions, that all children be immunized prior to admission to a day care.
