MISSION
Creative Little Hands Preschool provides a safe quality Christian and academic Education for 2 – 5-year-old children. Our staff will assist parents in the nurturing of their child’s spiritual, social, emotional, and physical growth development through our creative and imaginative curriculum.
WELCOME TO PRESCHOOL!
Thank you for allowing us to serve your child in our preschool program. We look forward to the year ahead and hope this information answers many of your questions. If you need further assistance or wish to speak to a staff team member, please refer to the contact information found in the front of the handbook. As always, we appreciate your feedback and look forward to getting to know you and your family!
CHILD CARE PHILOSOPHY
Creative Little Hands Preschool uses a developmental approach to caring and teaching young children. Our program offers opportunities for your child to explore, to make discoveries, and to use his/her senses and physical movement. Through hands-on activities children learn and develop at their own pace. Our center recognizes each child as an individual, expanding where he/she is, not where we want each child to be.
Creative Little Hands Pre School provides a safe, fun environment in which children can grow academically and socially.
The children will participate in a structured academic and social development program. The goal of the curriculum is to enhance self-image and sense of accomplishment by encouraging each child’s independence and development of self-help skills.
Each day includes circle time, story time, monthly projects, music, motor skills, reading and math readiness with alphabet, numbers and shapes and colors, to name a few. Every day, we start with our calendar, weather chart, days of the week, and months of the year, Pledge of Allegiance and spiritual theme.
We foster an understanding of diversity among people by expecting and modeling behavior based on mutual and unconditional respect for self and others. We pursue every available opportunity to celebrate and explore individual and cultural differences. All children are accepted without regard for race, color, religion, sex, creed, ancestry, national origin, or the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical challenges. We respect each child’s right to observe his/her faith.
PROGRAM GOAL
To demonstrate caring, honesty, respect and responsibility in everything we do. To instill kindergarten readiness in all children who pass through our program by enabling them to work in a classroom setting with their peers.
OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS
Our core early childhood belief is that children learn best through play, and play is the legitimate and genuine work of young children. When children are engaged in purposeful play, they are discovering, creating, improvising, and expanding their learning. Our programs are structured so that children are active participants in their own development and learning. We observe and respond to children and help support their current skills and help them to reach the next milestone in their developmental journey. Our curriculum includes activities such as dramatic play, language, science, math, social studies, music, art, and large and small motor development.
Our teachers, with patience, warmth, and respect, redirect children to help guide them toward controlling their impulses and behaviors. The teacher draws more attention to a child’s appropriate behavior than to the inappropriate because he/she understands that toddlers will act in the way that draws the most attention.
Our classroom includes materials for children to engage in imaginative play, appropriate art experiences for creative exploration, various manipulatives to develop cognitive and physical skills, as well as building blocks, music, and books. The environment allows for the children to choose activities and respects their need for ample time to use and reuse activities, because repeated experiences foster competence. The setting is stimulating and inviting. It offers comfortable spaces for privacy and for interacting in small groups. Children’s art is displayed proudly and respected for what it is.
OUR STAFF
Our child care staff are experienced, trained professionals chosen for their warmth, creativity, experience with children, and commitment to excellence. We employ people who are nurturing, who understand child development, and who respect each child as an individual. We seek employees who value working as a team with parents, colleagues, and volunteers. Our staff environment encourages mutual respect for each individual’s personal characteristics and teaching style, opportunities for shared leadership, and provision for providing professional growth. We are committed to ongoing training and professional development of our early education staff, and all staff participate in yearly training and in-service workshops.
ENROLLMENT PROCEDURES
The enrollment process begins with a tour of the child care facility with the preschool director. If possible, the parent and child should meet the child’s assigned teacher and spend some time in the classroom with the child to observe and have any questions answered.
Parents should complete an enrollment packet that includes the following:
• Registration form and deposit • Child’s current medical physical exam • Immunization record • Payment Contract • Emergency contact card • If your child has an IEP or IFSP, this document is required at enrollment and as it is updated. We encourage staff participation in any IEP or IFSP case conference to better enable us to help your child.
We do not discriminate in the enrollment of children upon the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or financial status.

Accidents & Injuries
The health and safety of the children in our care is our top priority. Even with watchful eyes, young children are often testing their physical limits making injuries inevitable. A report will be filed when an accident or injury occurs during the program. The incident/accident form will be given and explained to the parent at pick-up. It will be signed by the parent. One copy will remain in the child’s enrollment file.
In the event of a medical emergency or accident requiring a doctor’s treatment, we will contact you immediately. If we cannot make contact with a parent, emergency personnel will take the child to the emergency room via ambulance.
At all times, there will be a staff person on site who is trained in First Aid and CPR.
Child care staff is required to report their suspicions of child abuse or child neglect and CLH Preschool follows protocol to ensure that suspected cases of abuse or neglect are reported to the proper authorities.
Other Emergencies
Monthly fire and disaster drills will be held at varying times during the year at a minimum of one fire drill per month. The preschool director will maintain a record of fire and disaster drills.
A fire alert and weather emergency plan, including evacuation routes, is posted in each classroom.
BEHAVIOR POLICY
We believe that children are entitled to a pleasant environment at our program. The CLH Preschool staff are committed to helping children develop the core values of respect, honesty, caring, and responsibility.
CLH Preschool program cannot accommodate children who display chronically disruptive behavior. Chronically disruptive behavior is defined as verbal or physical activity which may include, but is not limited to such behavior that: requires constant attention from the staff; inflicts physical or emotional harm on other children; is abusive to staff and/or ignores or disobeys the rules which guide behavior during our program. If a child cannot adjust to the program setting, then the child may be discharged. All reasonable efforts will be made to assist every child in adjusting to the program setting. Staff use the following techniques to guide your child’s behavior:
• Set clear, consistent, and appropriate limits for classroom behavior.
• Value mistakes as learning opportunities.
• Redirect children to more appropriate behavior or activity.
• Make eye-contact and listen when children talk about their feelings and frustrations.
• Guide children to resolve their own conflicts and model skills that help children solve their problems.
• Patiently remind children of class rules and their rationale as needed.
• Use effective praise that is immediate, sincere, and specific.
Behavior that continues after these measures, escalates, or causes injury to another child will result in a written Behavior Report. The parent, teacher, or Preschool Coordinator may request a parent/teacher conference to discuss possible ideas for managing the child’s behavior. Unfortunately, there are sometimes reasons we have to dismiss a child from our program either on a short term or permanent basis. We want you to know that we will do everything possible to work with the family of the child(ren) in order to prevent this policy from being enforced. We are willing to allow outside specialists, and/or technical assistance via The Southeast Regional Key agency to assist in the matter by providing a consultant behavior expert, at no cost, to work with Staff and Parents in the interest of the child. This would be a confidential service. The transition documents could just be kept in a Transition filed and used as you see fit since you already have a transition statement.
Schedule for Suspension or Expulsion
If the remedial actions above have not worked, the child’s parent/guardian will be advised verbally and in writing about the child’s or parent’s behavior warranting a suspension or expulsion. A suspension is meant to be for a specific period of time so that the parent/ guardian may work on the child’s behavior or to come to an agreement with the center.
• The parent/guardian will be informed regarding the length of the suspension period.
• The parent/guardian will be informed about the expected behavioral changes required in order for the child or parent to return to the center.
• The parent/guardian MAY be given a specific suspension date that allows the parent sufficient time to seek alternate child
• Failure of the child/parent to satisfy the terms of the plan may result in permanent expulsion from the center.
Proactive Actions to Be Taken in Order to Prevent Suspension or Expulsion
• Staff will try to redirect child from negative behavior.
• Staff will reassess classroom environment, appropriateness of activities, supervision.
• Staff will always use positive methods and language while disciplining children.
• Staff will praise appropriate behaviors.
• Staff will consistently apply consequences for violated rules.
• Child will be given verbal warnings.
• Child will be given time to regain control.
• Child’s disruptive behavior will be documented and maintained in confidentiality.
• Parent/guardian will be notified verbally.
• Parent/guardian will be given written copies of the disruptive behaviors that might lead to expulsion.
• Recommendation of evaluation by professional consultation on premises
Cultural Diversity
Creative Little Hands Preschool is committed to providing research-based and culturally responsive information that reflects the rich diversity of the communities we serve.
We believe in the importance of promoting quality early learning environments for children that are culturally and developmentally appropriate. Research suggests adults who engage children in culturally responsive educational experiences help to:
• Build young children's self-confidence and skills
• Increase children's awareness, appreciation, and inclusion of diverse beliefs and cultures
• Maximize children's academic achievement and educational success
Linguistic Diversity
We encourage the use of home language learning while fostering the acquisition of English in order to strengthen ties between our school and families.
- Recognize that all children are cognitively, linguistically, and emotionally connected to the language and culture of their home.
- Acknowledge that children can demonstrate their knowledge and capabilities in many ways.
- Understand that without comprehensible input, second-language learning can be difficult.
Staff recognizes, appreciates and respects the uniqueness of each child by:
· Encouraging children to respect other cultures
· Providing children with positive experiences exploring similarities and differences
· Teaching children to live happily and co-operatively in a diverse world
· Providing activities, foods, pictures, songs and stories which are reflective of other countries and cultures in relation to cultural and racial equality we aim to:
· Contribute to each child’s awareness of cultural and racial groups
· Positively acknowledge similarities and differences between cultural and racial groups
· Promote positive attitudes to children being part of a diverse society
· Reflect each child’s racial and cultural background
· Recognize the diversity of family structures
*** Our staff is dedicated to diversity training yearly. We focus on perspective taking, goal setting, and stereotype discrediting. We feel this is essential for creating and maintaining a respectful, inclusive school.

Shaken Baby Syndrome (Abusive Head Trauma) Prevention Policy
This policy is designed to prevent the possibility of abusive head trauma during care. Abusive head trauma (also referred to as Shaken Baby Syndrome) occurs in infants and young children, whose neck muscles are not well-developed and whose heads are larger relative to their bodies. As a result, they are especially susceptible to head trauma caused by any type of forceful or sudden shaking, with or without blunt impact. Damage can occur in as little as 5 seconds. Abusive head trauma can occur in children up to 5 years of age; however, infants less than one year are at greater risk of injury.
Shaken baby syndrome can lead to serious conditions including:
Brain damage, problems with memory and attention, cerebral palsy;
Blindness or hearing loss;
Intellectual, speech or learning disabilities; and
Developmental delays.
Signs and Symptoms The signs and symptoms of shaken baby syndrome or head trauma include:
Seizures;
Bruises;
Lack of appetite, vomiting, or difficulty sucking or swallowing;
Lack of smiling or vocalizing;
Rigidity, inability to lift the head;
Difficulty staying awake, altered consciousness;
Difficulty breathing, blue color due to lack of oxygen;
Unequal pupil size, inability to focus the eyes or track movement; or
Irritability.
Injury Prevention
Infant crying is normal behavior, which improves as a child ages. Caregivers should develop proactive strategies to manage stress levels and appropriate responses to a crying child. This includes being self-aware and noticing when the caregiver may become frustrated or angry. Parents/guardians, caregivers and coworkers should discuss what calming strategies are successful with a particular child at home or
in the center.
Emergency Response
If a child presents any of the above symptoms or you suspect a baby has suffered abusive head trauma:
Call 911, call the parent/guardian and inform your director and regional manager.
Report to the appropriate child protective services agency (or law enforcement, if
applicable) within 24 hours or less as required by law. See Child Abuse/Neglect and
Mandated Reporting Policy and Procedure for further information.
See Medical Emergencies-Calling 911 for additional information.
Strategies for Caregivers and Parents
A child is usually shaken out of frustration, often when the child is persistently crying or irritable. The following strategies may work some of the time; but sometimes nothing will comfort a crying child. A teacher should seek support from a coworker or center management. If a child is inconsolable on a regular basis, the director and regional manager should be notified and determine if the right supports are in place for the child and for staff.
Do:
Hand the child to another caregiver.
Place the child somewhere safe in the classroom (or home) and call the office (or a
neighbor) for support; take deep breaths and count to 10.
Check to see if the baby’s diaper needs changing.
Give the baby a bottle. If baby readily takes bottle, feed slowly stopping to burp
often. Do not force the baby to eat.
Check for signs of illness and call the parent if you suspect the child is sick.
Give baby a pacifier.
Hold the baby close against your body and breathe calmly and slowly.
Gently rock the baby using slow, rhythmic movements.
Sing to the baby or play soft, soothing music.
Use "white noise" or rhythmic sounds that mimic the constant whir of noise in the womb
Hold the baby on its side or stomach position to help with digestion. Babies should
always be placed on their backs to sleep.
Take the baby for a walk indoors or outside for a ride in the stroller.
Be patient: let the baby cry it out if necessary.
Never:
Shake a child.
Drop a child.
Throw a child into the air or into a crib, chair, or car seat.
Push a child into any object including walls, doors, and furniture.
Strike a child’s head, directly or indirectly.

PARENT COMMUNICATION
We believe that parent communication is key to a successful early education environment. Please check your child’s folder regularly for information on upcoming events, newsletters, and your child’s completed projects. We may also communicate with parents via email if that is an acceptable and regularly used form of communication for the parents. The Preschool Coordinator may send emails to families reminding them of important events and communicating any program changes. If you would like to receive emails, please be sure to provide your current email address upon registration and notify us of any changes.
A Progress Report will be sent home twice each school year, October and May. These reports help inform you on what your child is demonstrating in class. At any time, we are happy to discuss your child’s progress at a parent-teacher conference.
We will also send a Parent Evaluation home during the school year. Please fill out these evaluations as honestly as possible. We take your feedback seriously and use it to help grow and enhance our program.
GENERAL INFORMATION
At CLH, one of our most important goals has always been to enrich the lives of children in our communities. Children develop self-confidence, learn values for the future, and grow up stronger and healthier by participating in CLH programs. We believe every child should have the opportunity to be in a preschool program regardless of their ability to pay the full rate. By contributing to our campaign, you are making an investment in the future. Your child will have an opportunity to help with service projects to raise funds for this campaign. Please consider how you might help with this important project. Does your company offer matching donations?
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Toys from Home
Please do not allow your child to bring toys from home to preschool. Toys from home distract the children from planned activities and cause sharing problems. We cannot be responsible for any toy which comes to school with a child.
Voluntary Withdrawal/Cancellation
In the event that you choose to withdraw your child from out program, we request a written notice to be submitted to the Program Coordinator with both the parent/guardian’s signature as well as the Program Coordinator’s signature. We request notification of a withdrawal from our program one month prior to a child’s withdrawal from the program. No refunds or credits will be given for failure to give the required notification. Re-enrollment is contingent on all account balances paid in full and space availability in the program.
Transitioning
When moving children into different age groupings in our Center, we believe it is very important to preserve the relationships that have been established between the child/teacher and the parent/teacher as much as possible. Because the teachers and children develop such a close bond, it can sometimes be difficult when the child moves on to the next developmental age group. However, the beauty of a small sized center is that the children and parents get to meet all of the other children and teachers throughout the course of a normal day. Therefore, when it comes time to move on to the next age group, many new relationships have already been formed. It is important to know that children learn best when they feel safe and can trust the adults who care and teach them. Building a trusting relationship between a child and his/her teacher can take time. However, teachers and families can help young children by responding sensitively to them during transitions. Planning ahead can reduce the negative impact of transitions. Procedures at Creative Little Hands Preschool, help to prepare children and families for Preschool Room Transition in a variety of ways: 1. Staff in the 2-3-year-old room will complete the Ages and Stages Developmental Checklist at 30 months (2.5 years) to determine the child’s level of development. If the outcome of the checklist is satisfactory - there aren’t any concerns, and the child is potty trained (child is in final stages – not wearing diapers/pull-ups for the majority of the day) the child will be eligible for transition to the next Preschool Room. 2. At this time, the Director and Staff will schedule a conference with the family to determine how the family feels about the upcoming changes. Both Teachers will plan for the child to make a series of visits to the next Preschool Room. The above steps are the same for transitioning from 3-4-year-old room to 4-5-year-old room. The appropriate ages and stages will be given to the children. When you have reached the end of your preschool years in the 4-5-year-old room, you will be given a list of the area kindergartens for your child to register. Your child will be given their last test with us, and you and your new kindergarten will be given the results.
We are here for you, as your child journeys through preschool and then prepares for kindergarten.
Any questions or concerns please feel free to contact the director.
NSF Policy
We must charge a $25.00 fee for every check returned by the bank because of non-sufficient funds, stopped payment, or closed accounts. We ask that you provide reimbursement for the uncollected check before your child may return to the program. Only a money order, certified check or cash will be accepted. This policy also applies to bank drafts.
Payment Questions?
Please contact our Office Desk at (215) 585-3686.
I have read, understand, and agree to abide by all of the above policies and conditions that Creative Little Hands Preschool program has set forth in this Parent Handbook.
