Parent Handbook
Our parent handbook is very thorough. We have put a lot of thought and effort into creating it in order to ensure there are no mis-understandings between us and the parents of Butterflies & Bumblebees Daycare. The policies and procedures may change from time to time, but you will always be made aware of these changes before they happen.

Butterflies and Bumblebees Daycare
Parent Handbook
Revised June 2022
Welcome / Philosophy
Welcome to Butterflies & Bumblebees Daycare. This handbook has been created so that there are no misunderstandings, and so that everyone is aware of the requirements of Butterflies and Bumblebees Daycare, as well as the requirements of you, the parents/guardians. This handbook covers our childcare philosophies, business policies and expectations. Please read this handbook carefully, and feel free to discuss with myself or a staff member any questions that you may have.
Butterflies & Bumblebees Daycare is committed to creating a safe, warm, loving environment for children where they can learn and grow physically, emotionally, creatively, intellectually, and socially at their own pace. We want to help your child increase their confidence, and self esteem by treating them as unique individuals, and allowing them to express themselves in a variety of facets. We strive to make your child’s time at daycare the best experience it can be for them as well as you, the parents.
We are committed to supporting families by maintaining open communication and encourage parental involvement in our programming and care activities. Our objective is to care for your child the same way you would.
In programming activities for the children we follow the NB Early Childhood Education Curriculum Framework delivered in English, which follows a play-based learning philosophy. We develop activities centered on stories, songs, math, fine and gross motor skills, circle time, science, music, theatre and arts/crafts. We strive to prepare your children for their early school years by exposing them regularly to letters, numbers, colors, shapes, name recognition, and new vocabulary. Please see any staff member if you’d like more information on the Curriculum Framework, or you can access it online at: http://www.gnb.ca/0000/ECHDPE/ELCC-Curriculum.asp.
Hours of Operation
Hours of operation are:
7:00 am – 6:00 PM.............................................................................................Monday – Friday
We will be closed on January 1st, Family Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, July 1st, New Brunswick Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day and December 25th and 26th.
Late pick-up policy: If you are late picking up (after closing time) your child you will be charged a late fee of $15 per 15 min late or any part thereof, except in emergency situations. This late fee must be paid in cash to the staff on duty upon pick-up of your child.
Enrollment Requirements
Before your child can be officially enrolled in Butterflies and Bumblebees Daycare you must complete and provide the following documents:
- Signed Parent Contract and Rate Agreement
- Completed Child Profile & Copy of Immunization Record
- Signed Consent Forms (those that are applicable)
- Registration Fee must be paid ($25)*
- Deposit of $25 into each child’s Supply Account (see below for description of this account)*
*spaces will not be held by verbal contract, registration fee and supply account must be paid in order for a spot to be held for you and your child.
We do require that the parent/guardian and their child(ren) visit our center prior to enrollment. This process allows your child(ren) to become more familiar with our daycare and staff. If you feel it necessary, we can arrange for your child(ren) to be left in our care for 2 hours free of charge as a trial basis, before leaving them for a full day.
Inclusion Policy
What is Inclusion?
We welcome all children into our center to equally participation in daily activities.
The key elements of inclusion are as follows:
Access:
We welcome all children in our center. A plan must be in place prior to start date to allow for support when necessary. When a child has additional support, we keep in contact with the funding officer if anything changes; whether it be that the child is not coming as frequently as they should be or if they have given their notice. All furnishings will be at the child’s level to allow for easy participation and equipment will be modified if need be. We value the principle of natural proportions and children with different needs are most certainly able to attend when the support worker is not present as all program options are available to all children.
Participation:
We give all children a chance to participate. If a child has a sensory issue for example we would try to think of a strategy for them to participate. We plan and modify activities to include all children to allow for meaningful participation. We will accommodate the children’s needs. Our observations are to make mental notes on the children’s behavior; give choice and allow alone time to calm down in an environment of their choice.
Support:
We will involve and inform parents of the child’s day and value the opinion of parents and must work together to come up with a plan. Parents are expected to be involved or willing to participate with us. We stress and want parents to be involved in the classroom. We will work closely and involve support organizations when we see fit. I.e. FACE, Talk with Me, AIS and NBACL.
Inclusion also will include a transition to school for preschool children. We will plan and involve the school and kindergarten teacher. (i.e. visit to the school & teacher visit to daycare).
Staff are required to complete 7 hrs of inclusion training yearly to keep up-to-date on strategies and techniques to always include children. Staff will always have support from the director (Ashley King) to have a second opinion when it comes to including children in daily activities.
Dismissal is a last resort for us after exhausting all other options. We cannot stress the importance of parent involvement. If an issue arises we would make documentation then meet with the parents to develop a plan. From there outside agencies would be brought in to help in any way possible. When all resources are failing we will contact licensing support for our final steps.
*These policies can be revised and re-evaluated at any time.
For more information please refer to: Supporting All Children.
Evacuation Procedures
In case of emergency (fire/flood/otherwise), children and staff will be evacuated to the Lancaster Baptist Church, located up the street at 87 Church Ave . This is just short walk from the center, and that will be how the children will be transported there. Emergency contact information will be transported along with us, so you will be contacted to pick up your child at the alternate location. The location can also be contacted directly by calling 635-8980.
Transportation/Outings
For any field trips or outings that require transportation, parents will be asked if they would like to volunteer to drive their own children, stay for the outing, and then return their children back home with them, or back to the center, whichever case may apply. If we arrange transportation for the children, or if parents are unable to attend and we need transportation to and from a location we will be using Ashley’s personal vehicle, which is always inspected up to date, and covered with the proper insurance, and outfitted with proper car seats, A2B Transportation Services, or public transportation (city bus). A2B Transportation Services is a family run business (80% of employees are family), that provides transportation services to various organizations under the Social Development Department. Drivers have the following documents, as well as required insurance and car seats to transport children:
· Criminal Record checks
· Social Development Checks
· Clean Drivers Abstracts
If any parent is uncomfortable with this transportation method they have the option of transporting their child themselves, or choosing to keep their child at the centre with another classroom. Outings are a part of the NB Early Learning and Education Curriculum Framework, and participation is encouraged by all families. If there is anything we can do to help anyone feel more comfortable with their children participating please feel free to talk to staff or myself about this.
No child will be permitted to go on an outing without written parental consent.
Payment Procedures
Forms of payment currently accepted are cash, email money transfer, Debit or Credit. Please let me know if you plan on doing your payments electronically, a reminder email can be sent to you if you’d like.
All fees must be paid by Monday (or the first day of care) at drop off time for the current week of services. If payment is not received by Monday at pick-up time a late payment fee will be applied to your account at the rate of $5 per day. In order to ensure accurate supplies to keep the daycare running, fees need to be on time. After 3 days of late fees added to your account your care will be suspended until fees are paid. After 3 late payments, or 2 NSF cheques, fees maybe required 2 weeks in advance, or service may be suspended. Each situation is dealt with on an individual basis. An NSF or returned cheque is subject to a $30 administration fee.
Registration Fee
An annual registration fee of $25/child is required upon enrollment, and will be collected by January 31st of subsequent years. This registration fee goes towards supplies for children’s artwork, as well as other supplies that we use to teach your child, as well as document that learning.
Supply Account
The supply account is a $25 account that we will hold in your child’s name at the daycare. Each child must have a supply account of $25, and as it runs out we will ask that you replenish it. This supply account will ensure that your child will always have adequate supplies at the daycare. We will use the money in this account when your child runs out of something and it is not supplied. I.E. If you are having a busy week and forget to bring in new diapers for your child when they have run out, we will use the money in this account to purchase (from a supply at the daycare at a rate of $1.00/diaper) them for your child to tie them over until you can replenish their supply. Or, if your child comes to daycare with sandals one day and you forget to provide socks, $1/pair of socks will be deducted from your supply account (as coverings are REQUIRED for feet by public health when indoors at ALL times). The balance of this account will be applied to your last week/month’s bill should any remain upon termination of services.
Signing in and out/Attendance Records Policy
Children are signed in and out by staff members upon their arrival and departure. We ask that if your child is not going to attend care as per usual that you inform the centre by 9:30am. This will help us plan activities for the day. When your child does not attend daycare you must call to let us know the reason – if it is a communicable illness we are required to record this in case of other cases breaking out. If no one answers the phone please leave a brief message. Also, upon arrival and preparing your child for the day please help them or direct them to wash their hands before beginning to play with toys, in order to prevent the spread of germs.
If someone else will be picking up your child please let staff know upon arrival. Photo ID will be required by the person picking up your child as well if the staff member is not familiar with that person. Please let any individuals other than parents who may pick up the children that they will be asked for picture ID in order to ensure the safety of all children.
Children will not be released to unauthorized individuals. If someone shows up to pick up your child and staff was not made aware of it, we will have to track you down to confirm that this is in fact permitted, as well as see a picture ID of that individual to confirm their identity.
Absences/Exclusion from Daycare
If a child is too sick to attend daycare, please keep him/her home. There is no “sick room” at the daycare, and the best place for a child to be recuperating from an illness is at home. There are also many symptoms that a child may have that may prevent them from being able to partake in everyday activities. If your child experiences any of the following please keep them home until they are gone, or are well enough to participate in normal everyday activities:
Fever greater than or equal to 100.4 degrees F.
Excessive drainage (clear or discolored) from the mouth, nose, eyes, or ears.
Red discoloration to the whites of the eye(s).
Skin rashes as they are difficult to diagnose unless seen by a physician.
Severe abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea.
A deep, hacking cough
Difficulty breathing or untreated wheezing
Yellow discharge from the eyes
An unusual yellow coloring of the skin or eyes
Cuts or openings on the skin that are pus-filled or oozing
Lice or nits
If your child(ren) are sent to daycare with any of the above listed symptoms, or develop during the day they will be sent home. Children should NEVER be medicated and then sent to daycare (i.e. given Tylenol to break fever). You should arrange for back-up care when your child is sick, and unfortunately there are no refunds or discounts for days that your child does not attend daycare. There are still costs associated with each childcare spot each day that unfortunately cannot be avoided if your child is not in attendance.
If your child will not be attending daycare due to illness or any other reason, please let someone at the centre know as soon as possible, as well as the reason they will not be attending. This will prevent activities from being delayed.
Child Abuse/Neglect
If there is any abuse or neglect suspected of any children in our care, we are required to report it to Social Development according to the Child’s Victim’s of Abuse and Neglect Protocols (issued by the province of NB). Please be aware also that children will NOT be released under any circumstances to impaired individuals. If we have reason to believe that any persons picking up a child is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, an emergency contact will be called to pick up the child. The incident will also have to be reported to Social Development according to the Child’s Victim’s of Abuse and Neglect Protocols.
Clothing Code
Children should come dressed in comfortable, season appropriate clothing that can get dirty, since some activities we do on a daily basis are messy. A spare change of clothes is required for all children in case of soiling of clothes. Children under the age of 3, and those who are potty-training require at least two changes of clothing (including socks). We want to keep your children happy and comfortable.
A separate set of indoor shoes is required at the daycare for each child at all times. Feet are required to remain covered by public health at ALL times when indoors. These “indoor shoes” can be simply a pair of crocs from the dollar store, or a pair of slippers that they don’t use at home, or even a separate set of sneakers if you wish. Indoor shoes also protect your child’s feet in the event of a fire drill in the winter months/rainy days.
Please also remember whenever weather permits the children are taken outside for 1-2 hours per day. Please ensure that you have proper outerwear provided for your child so that they are comfortable and don’t miss out on outdoor play. If a child does not have proper outdoor apparel they will have to remain indoors with another teacher/classroom. This happens all too often in the winter time because of a lack of snow pants and hats and mitts, please leave an extra pair of these items with us if you can, or be sure to bring them everyday.
Potty Training Policies
We strive to support your efforts of potty training at home right through the day here at daycare. However, there are some key signs to look for before we are able to help you train your child at the centre. The key signs of readiness for potty training include:
- The child is able to pull down and up their pants and underwear/pull-ups on their own with little or no assistance
- The child is able to communicate to you when they need to go to the bathroom
- The child’s diaper is dry after nap times and for long periods during the day
- The child is able to hold their bowels and bladder until they get to the potty once they realize that they need to go
If these signs are not present, your child is not ready to potty train at daycare, as we cannot have a potty in each room for them to use – it is against public health sanitation policies. We will always encourage children to use the potty regularly and we begin to introduce sitting on the potty as soon as the children move into the Monkey (toddler) room at the age of about 2 years old.
When your child does potty train, we ask that you provide extra clothing and remove soiled clothing daily. If we run out of clean clothes and underwear then you will have to be contacted during the day in order for you to provide them, as we do not have daycare “loaner” clothes.
Discipline Policy
Here at Butterflies and Bumblebees Daycare, discipline and guidance centers around respect and responsibility. Each child is expected to be a respectful, responsible member of our group. This ranges from children cleaning up their own “messes” to using manners and politeness when speaking with teacher, parents, and each other.
All “rules” center on these respect/responsibility/safety guidelines. The only rules are those that are required to maintain a safe and respectful environment for all the children in our centre.
We use positive guidance when dealing with situations. Gentle reminders, redirecting negative energy and using positive reinforcement and encouragement. We aim to have open communication with the parents to be consistent when dealing with inappropriate behavior.

This schedule is very flexible and is adjusted according to the children’s needs and interests (i.e. If a child is engaged in art or another activity when snack is served they may finish their activity and will then be served their snack. Or, if we are engaged during scheduled “learning/circle time” the learning/circle time will just be pushed back to a later time so that we may fully engage in the current activity unit it is completed. The number one goal is learning.
Items Needed From Home
Nap Bedding – We provide the crib sheet that they sleep on, but you must provide a blanket for them to cover up with, as well as any comfort items that they may need to sleep (stuffie, sookie, etc.)
Diapers/Rash Ointment (Training pants or pull-ups for those who are potty training)
Spare Clothing – including underwear and socks, at least 3 complete sets for those potty training age and under
Sunscreen/Sun Block, and a wide-brimmed hat
Weather appropriate clothing - jacket/splash/snow pants/hats/mitts, boots etc. –lack of weather appropriate clothing will prevent your child from enjoying our outdoor play time, please ensure you dress your child for outdoor play everyday.
Please ensure that children come dressed in “play” clothes. Although we are careful while doing art and playing outside; there are instances where clothes could become dirty and stained. We appreciate your understanding and so do the children. Extra supplies can be left at the daycare and replenished when necessary.
Children are welcome to bring toys from home to the centre but we ask that it be limited to one toy a day, and it must fit in their allotted cubby space. Children will be asked to share these toys from home with the other children. If a child does not wish to share his/her it will be put away for them until they feel like sharing. The only toys we ask that the children do not bring to the centre are play guns and weapons. Thank you for your understanding.
Snack and Meal Times
In an attempt to be as environmentally friendly as possible we would like to encourage parents/guardians to pack their children’s lunches in reusable containers, and use reusable drink containers. Throughout the day water drinks are available for the children as needed. At all times during drinking and eating, children are required to be seated and not engaged in any play activity. This is to ensure safety (to avoid choking) and to promote healthy eating/drinking habits. Under no circumstances will young children be allowed to walk around or play with bottles in their mouths. Pacifiers are encouraged for use at nap time only and if your child requires a bottle at nap it will be given to him or her before they get into bed. Under no circumstances will children be allowed to go to sleep with bottles in bed. This is also to ensure safety (prevent choking) and to prevent dental problems.
Medications
All medications are stored in a locked cabinet that is inaccessible to children. Children are not given any medication without the parents’ written consent. Written consent may only be on a “Permission to Administer Medications” form and all medications must be in their original bottles with original labels. Staff must also indicate on the administering form the date, time and dosage of medicine given at each administration, and then initial this information.
For prescription medication, only the directions on the bottle will be accepted for administering the medication. And in all instances staff need to know when the child received his/her last dosage of the medication, to ensure medication is given at appropriate times consistently.
With any prescription antibiotics children may not return to care until they’ve had a full 24 hours of dosage, are no longer contagious and ready to participate in the full child care day, to ensure they are well on the road to recovery.
Allergies
All allergies (and dietary concerns) will be clearly posted in each room, on the refrigerator and written on the child’s emergency info/consent cards. Please note that we are a PEANUT, EGG and SHELLFISH FREE facility. If you send any food with your child, or donate any food to any functions held at the daycare please ensure that these foods are PEANUT, EGG AND SHELLFISH FREE. If they do not have the appropriate symbols or ingredients list then they will not be served to anyone for safety reasons, and will have to be returned home, or discarded.
Developing Illness Policy
In the event a child becomes ill during the course of the day, to the point where they are not capable of participating in regular activities, the parents/guardians will be contacted immediately and be required to come pick the child up. If the parents/guardians can’t be reached the alternate emergency contact person will be called to come pick up the child. Allergy related and common cold symptoms as well as non-communicable diseases/illnesses do not require that the child be excluded from care.
If any of the following conditions are present, it is required that children be excluded from care: Children may return to care when they are free of symptoms or are approved to return by the facility operator or in some extreme cases, by a medical doctor.
-Pain - any unexplained or undiagnosed pain
-Difficulty in breathing - wheezing or persistent cough
-Fever (100.5* F/ 38.3*C or higher) – child must be free from fever (without being medicated) for 24 hours before returning to care at the facility
-Sore Throat or trouble swallowing
-Infected skin or eyes (mucus/pus draining) or an undiagnosed rash

We do check messages regularly and return phone calls as soon as we get the chance. We do not mind calls to check to see how your children are doing during the day. We do please ask to limit them to 2 per day, as they do disrupt the classroom to pull a teacher out to speak on the phone. Thank you for your understanding.

Parent’s Grievances and Suggestions
We at Butterflies and Bumblebees Daycare are committed to being very open and honest, and if any parent should have any grievances, or any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. If you wish to contact our Early Childhood Education Co-ordinator, you may do so as well (her information is posted on the Parent Information Board, as well as below), however, we hope that you will come to us first so that we can work any problems out before it comes to that.

Parent Involvement
Our doors are always open to parents who would like to be involved in their child’s care and education. We welcome any comments or suggestions from parents about programming or the care of their children. If any parents wish to volunteer at the center, or on outings please contact any staff member so we can make necessary arrangements.
Photographs/Video Cameras
We like to take lots of pictures at the daycare to share with the children, and the parents how much fun we have at daycare. We do have a few daycare photo albums that we place these pictures into (that do not leave the daycare center), and we also have a private Facebook photo sharing group just for parents and staff. If you wish to be added to the group please email us at [email protected] with your email address that you would prefer we send the invitation to join to. As soon as parents leave the daycare they are removed from the group. Please feel free to save the pictures of your child from this website, however, keep in mind you cannot share any pictures of children in a public forum unless you have written consent of that child’s parents. So if you do save pictures or wish to share them with friends on Facebook please ensure there are no other children’s faces in the pictures.
We do have a video monitoring system in place at the daycare. This is to ensure everyone’s safety.
Withdrawal Of Services Policy
A MINIMUM 2 WEEKS WRITTEN NOTICE is required for termination of childcare services. Even if your child does not attend during that two week period, payment is still required. Any fees not paid on time with regards to termination of child care services will also be subject to daily late fees, until full payment is received. If fees are not paid, the unpaid bill will be placed into collections.
In the event of any concerns (raised by staff, parents/guardians or even children) a meeting can be scheduled to address the issues. The meeting will involve owner/operator, and involved staff member and the parents/guardians involved. The concerns will be clearly stated (ex. late payment, failure to adhere to center policies, behavioral problems etc.) and discussed. Meeting minutes will be taken, and solutions will be sought in a non-judgmental manner. A plan will be designed to resolve the issue. A second meeting will be scheduled to review the situation within a reasonable time frame. In the event the issue cannot be resolved to everyone’s satisfaction, a 2 week written notice of termination of services will be given.
