Billing Policies and Procedures |
The United Tribes Child Development Center has been in operation since September 1969. The Preschool has been in operation since February of 1979. Together the Preschool and the Infant/Toddler Center are state licensed to care for one hundred forty children from the ages of one week to five years of age. The first licensing occurred in the fall of 1970. At that time, the Child Development Center was the only day care facility that had obtained a license for the care of infants and was the only American Indian Day Care Center in the State.
The CDC is licensed by Burleigh County Social Services, and must meet all the staff and physical plant requirements as set forth by the State and Federal rules and regulations.
The purpose of this handbook is to provide general information about your child's childcare. No handbook can provide all the answers to questions that may arise. Please feel free to call the Director or person in charge about policies and procedures. The phone number is (701) 255-3285, Extension 1248 or 1392.
The primary function of the CDC is to provide the best possible care in meeting the needs of the "whole child".
The Infant/Toddler Center provides care for children who are one week
Old to the age of two.
The Preschool Center provides care for children who are two years old
Through the age when they start Kindergarten.
The CDC provides services to children of students enrolled at the United Tribes Technical College. The Center does not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, color, creed, national origin, religion, gender, marital status or age of parent.
The United Tribes Child Development Center, in partnership with parents, families, and community members, is committed to nurturing and enhancing each child's cognitive, physical, social emotional, creative, and cultural experiences into each and every domain within this curriculum, thus enabling our American Indian children to meet the challenges of a complex and diverse society. These needs must be met with warmth, affection, and acceptance of the uniqueness of each child.
Growth is an orderly, predictable, sequential process. Teachers and parents can help the child grow to his or her full potential by recognizing these stages and by offering suitable experiences that nurture and challenge the child as he or she develops. Therefore, the Primary Goal of the Child Development Center is to facilitate the child in reaching full potential at his or her own
pace.
By participating in the child development center, children will:
Develop confidence in themselves and their ability to learn
. Demonstrate curiosity and the ability to focus their attention
. Acquire a level of communicative competence that is personally
Satisfying

PARENTS AS PARTNERS
Parents are the most important people in their child's world. They are also the child's first and primary teachers. The most effective early childhood programs are those, which involve parents in meaningful ways. When young children observe positive and genuine involvement and interaction between their parents and teacher, they feel that their two worlds are connected. The CDC staff is committed to creating a working partnership with the families that will benefit all, especially the children.

4. Local Emergency Contact Numbers are to be on file in case of an emergency and parents cannot be notified.
5. Should your child have any special physical, emotional or learning needs, please notify your child's caregiver before or upon registration. Fill in the form indicated in the registration packet. Early Childhood Tracking will assist you with their needs.

8. All children's records are kept confidential by all staff.
9. Parents will be notified if, for any reason, the CDC will not be open.
Children's Belongings
1. All belongings must have children's name on them. This will eliminate confusion among staff and parents as to proper ownership. (Please do not bring toys or special made blankets. All blankets stay at the center and are washed weekly at the centers.)
2. Children are required to have an extra set of clothes at the Child Development Center. Please provide appropriate clothing for each season. Often, children have spills with food and drinks or accidents in their training habits and need to have that extra clothing available.
3. Children in the process of toilet training need to have three (3) training pants, which are to stay at the Child Development Center throughout the week. Children who are being trained tend to have numerous accidents.
4. Children are expected to be clean before entering the Center each day. Personal hygiene is very important. Children need to be bathed, have on clean clothes and hair combed.
5. Parents are to provide all supplies their children need during their time at the CDC. This includes 3 bottles, formula, baby cereal, baby food, diapers, clothes, wipes, baby powder, teething gel, diaper rash cream, sunscreen, bug repellent and bibs. When children are ready for table food, CDC will provide it.
6. Children need to be dressed adequately for the weather. During the winter, children need to wear warm jackets, boots, scarves, mittens and a warm cap. During warm weather children will need bug repellant and sunscreen. If you are unable to provide adequate clothing, please visit with the CDC Director about available resources.
7. As stated in the Social Services North Dakota Child Care Center Early Childhood Services Manual, Chapter 75-03-01-22 Subsection 23, "diapers must be changed promptly when needed and is a sanitary manner." Therefore, the Child Development Center requires a minimum of (6)'diapers per eight hour stay and wipes to accommodate sanitary cleansing requirement procedures.
*Remember: If a child's basic needs are not met, this is reportable as Physical Neglect according to the North Dakota Century Code, Chapter 50-25.1.
Child Abuse Neglect
1. Parents who are suspected of being in an intoxicated condition when picking up their children will be reported to Campus Security immediately. Children will not be released to intoxicated parents or other intoxicated individuals. Social Services representatives will also be contacted regarding the incident.
2. The Child Development Center is required by law to promptly report any suspected abuse or neglect. (North Dakota Century Code Chapter 50-25.1)
3. As stated in the Social Services North Dakota Child Care Center Early Childhood Services Manual, Chapter 75-03-10-13, Subsection 1-2, "Caregivers shall, at no time, place a child or children in an environment that would be harmful or dangerous to their physical or emotional health." It is therefore requested that, when parents or guardians enter the Child Development Center, they refrain from using any verbally abusive language or physically abusive actions, as it puts emotional stress on children who are within hearing and/or sight of the incident. If you have concerns, the appropriate method of communication of these concerns is to (1) discuss the concern with child's caregiver or teacher, (2) if not resolved, discuss the concern with the Co-Director, (3) still not resolved; discuss the matter with the Center Director, (4) finally, discuss with the Dean of Childhood Education. We are there to meet your child's/children's needs and are
Willing to work out a solution/plan to any concerns, which may arise.
4. If you are unable to pick up your child at the designated time, it is necessary that you notify the Co-Director's or Director. No child will be released to an individual who is not listed on the Authorization to Release on the Child Information Sheet, without prior written notification, as mandated by the North Dakota Child Care Center Early Childhood Services Manual, Chapter 75-03-10-17 Subsection 5.
Persons must pick up children over the age of 16. Those individuals must show an ID before the child will be released from CDC Care.
Legal Custody: In situations where only one parent is considered the legal
Guardian of a child, the CDC needs documentation to be placed in the child's
File. This is particularly important in cases in which one parent is legally denied
Contact with the child.
Restraining Orders: If a parent has a restraining order against an individual, they must give notification to the CDC and they must notify the CDC when the restraining order has been lifted.
The Child Development Center cannot accept children who are ill.
I. The Child Development Center is licensed to accept only healthy and well children. If your child has been ill during the night, please notify us as well as the Student Health Center of any symptoms. A slip will
Be required from the Student Health Center before your child can be admitted back into daycare after illness.
2. If a child is running a temperature in the morning, the parent or guardian is required to have a nurse at Student Health check the child and sign an admittance slip before they can be accepted at the Child Development Center. If this is the case, please allow time to get the child to Student Health and yourself to class on time.
3. Person(s) who knowingly bring a contagious child into the Child Development Center will be reported to the counseling department. The incident may also be reported to Burleigh County Social Services as mandated by the North Dakota Century Code Chapter 50-25.1 as this is an infraction.
4. The Child Development Center staff adheres to the following procedure for children who become ill at the center. 1) Parents are called out class. 2) Parents are given a white slip, which contains information regarding symptoms observed by the staff while the child was at the Center. The nurse will determine if the child needs to be taken to see a doctor. A slip from a Student Health Center Nurse is required for readmission into daycare.
Sick Child Daycare
The Sick Child Daycare is a service provided to UTTC parents and their dependents by the Student Health Center. For more information, please contact the Student Health Center located in the Education building, Room 118, ext. 1409
Exclusions from the Center
A letter will be sent out to parents to notify them of any outbreaks of childhood diseases their child may have been exposed to.
1. A Child with a Temperature of 101.5 degrees throughout the day, parents will immediately be notified to pick up their child from the daycare.
2. A Child with symptoms of possible severe illness (such as unusual lethargy, uncontrolled coughing, irritability, persistent crying, difficult breathing, wheezing, or unusual signs) - until medical evaluation allows inclusion.
3. Diarrhea is a serious illness. Two or more loose stools constitute suspicion of diarrhea and needs to be checked by medical personnel. A child can become very dehydrated if untreated, and the cause of it may be contagious. If your child comes down with diarrhea during the night: DO NOT BRING HIM/HER INTO DAYCARE. Parents are required to take the child to the Student Health Center First. Diarrhea must be resolved for the child to return to day care and a note from a physician must be submitted. If a stool culture is taken, the child cannot be readmitted until results are known.
4. Uncontrolled diarrhea. Increased number of stools, increased water stool, and/or decreased form that is not contained by the diaper- until diarrhea stops or is confirmed as non-contagious by a physician.
A child who has been diagnosed with either E. coli or shigella will not be readmitted into the regular or sick child daycare until the child has had two stool cultures (24 hours apart) that are negative and diarrhea has resolved. The child's attending physician must confirm the negative stool cultures either by a written note or verbal confirmation to a Student Health Center Nurse.
Children with rotravirus infection will be excluded from the regular and sick child daycare center while having symptoms. School attendance will be based on health care provider's recommendations. Any staff member with symptoms should be excluded from contact with susceptible persons for at least 2 days after resolution of illness.
Diarrhea is defined as the passage of increased amount of stool. It is often difficult to tell whether an infant has diarrhea or simply has frequent loose but normal bowel movements. Many infants have a reflex that gives them a bowel movement soon after every meal. Diarrhea is defined by definition looser than normal bowel movements; therefore, it is important to notice what is normal for each child.
Mild diarrhea is the passage of a few mushy bowel movements. Severe diarrhea is the passage of many water bowel movements. When gastrointestinal upset and diarrhea last more than two weeks, the condition is known as chronic diarrhea.
There are two components to the definition of diarrhea:
. Frequency- it is normal for an infant to have stools up to 10
Times a day although most do not attain this goal. The frequency will slow down as baby gets older, but even some toddlers and preschoolers go several times a day. An increase is frequency of one-and-a-half or two times your child's normal pattern is considered abnormal.
. Consistency- again, it is important to know what your child's stool usually looks like. If the stools become looser, watery, mucousy, green, or runnier than usual, this is considered a significant change.
Newborns often stool 8-10 times a day, sometimes passing small watery stools mixed with yellow, seedy pieces. They also may have several stools each day that are runnier and more mucousy than usual. These are normal variations and are not a cause for concern. Infants may occasionally have one or several stools that are much looser and foul smelling than usual. This is probably due to a variation in diet or may be no reason at all. It is not a cause for concern.
Some infants may have persistent loose, runny stools that never seem to form up into a normal stool. This can go on for one or two years. As long as your child is thriving, not acting sick and your pediatrician reassures you that your child is well, then there is no reason for concern.
Below are some common causes and their characteristics:
CAUSE |
SYMPTOMS |
Viral (stomach flu) gastroenteritis |
Nausea, vomiting, water diarrhea, |
Fever, aches. Usually 1-3 days. |
|
Bacterial Infection- Salmonella, |
Diarrhea, fever, chills, sometimes |
campylobacter, E-coli, shigella |
Blood or mucus in the stools. |
Vomiting. Is less common. |
|
Food Tolerance, lactose intolerance. |
Bloating, gas, cramps, loose stools, |
Sugar or chemical additives and |
Hours after eating dairy products or |
Coloring. |
Other offending foods. No signs of |
Illness or infection. |
|
Emotional distress |
Cramping, loose stools, predictable |
Times of stress. |
The goal of treatment for an infant or small child with diarrhea is to prevent dehydration (e.g. no urine in over 8 hours, no tears with crying, and very dry mouth.
5. Vomiting illness. Until vomiting resolves or until a physician determines the illness to be no communicable and the child is not in danger of dehydration.
Vomiting or "throwing up" is forcibly disgorging the contents of the stomach through the mouth. Viral infections and medications are two
Of the most common causes of vomiting. An isolated vomiting episode is not a cause for concern. Two or more episodes need to be checked by medical personnel. All babies spit up, and vomiting may be
Difficult to distinguish from normal regurgitation. If a baby grows normally despite frequent spitting up, there is probably no cause for alarm. But true vomiting is a danger sign, especially if it involves projectile vomiting. Projectile vomiting is defined as vomiting in which the stomach contents are ejected with great force.
Vomiting should be distinguished from the spitting up that is common in infants. Unlike the forcible reverse peristalsis of vomiting, spitting up is a free discharge of the stomach contents resulting from rapid feeding or overfeeding, or simply the fact that in the first six months the entrance to an infant's stomach isn't tight enough with it, spitting up does not pose any danger and is considered normal for infants under 15 months.
Symptom definition of "spitting up":
. The effortless spitting up or reflux of 1 or 2 mouthfuls of
Stomach contents. . Smaller amounts often occur after after feeding. . Occurs mainly in children under 1 year of age and it begins in
The first weeks of life.
. More than half of all infants have occasional spitting up.
Other causes of vomiting, which should be treated accordingly to individual circumstances, include: viral stomach infections, food allergies, accidental ingestion of drugs or other toxic substances, diseases of liver or kidney.
There are some instances in which vomiting may mean more serious illness. Warning signs include vomit that:
Is bloody or black
Is accompanied by severe abdominal pain
. Begins after a head injury
Is present with marked irritability and fatigue in a small child. Is accompanied by painful or frequent urination.
Lasts more than 8 hours in a child.
Or is present with signs of dehydration: dry skin and mouth, reduced urine output, absent tears, and lethargy.
6. Head Lice: When a child is suspected or identified with Head Lice, parents will be contacted and referred to Student Health. Student Health will examine the student and make a decision.
. If a child is positive, they will remain in their area, Co Director or Director will contact the parents and have them come after their child. Student Health will also examine the remainder of the child's area.
. The Center's Co-Director/Director will be notified as to whom
Have head lice.
. All children will need written permission from Student Health to return to daycare.
Three consecutive positive head checks (short period of time) staff (1 Student Health Nurse, Centers Director/Co-Director and Parent).
7. Mouth sores with drooling, unless a physician determines the condition is noninfectious.
8. Rash with fever or behavior change, until a physician determines that these symptoms do not indicate a communicable disease.
9. Perulent conjunctivitis (pink eyes), until 3 doses of medication have been initiated/24 hours.
10. Scabies, head lice, or other infestation, until treatment has been
Initiated and cleared by Student Health.
11. Tuberculosis, until a health care provider states that the child can
Attend daycare.
12. Impetigo, until 24 hours after treatment has been initiated.
13. Strep throat or other streptococcal infection, until 24 hours after initial
Antibiotic treatment and cessation of fever.
14. Contagious stages of pertussis, measles, mumps, chickenpox, rubella
Or diphtheria until cleared by health care provider.
15. Fever with stiff neck, lethargy, irritability, or persistent crying. This will be treated as a medical emergency with immediate referral to the emergency room.
16. Abdominal pain that is intermittent or persistent until cleared by health
Care provider.
17. Other conditions as may be determined by the Student Health Nursing
Staff.
The Student Health Center and the Child Development Centers have information concerning symptoms and information pamphlets for parents; we will be glad to provide information and help answer questions that you may have concerning any of the above.
Medication
The administration of medications at the sick child day care shall be limited to:
a. Those prescribed or ordered by health care provider for a specific child.
b. Those nonprescription medications recommended by a health care provider for a specific child, with written permission of the parent or legal guardian referencing a written or telephone instruction received by the facility from the health care provider.
If medication (prescription or over the counter) is to be dispensed to a child while in the sick daycare setting, a medication consent form authorizing the
CDC Director/Co-Director or Acting Supervisor to administer the medication must be signed by the parent or legal guardian. Instruction for the dispersion of the medication must include the child's name, dose and time to be given and the name of the prescribing physician.
1. Before a child on medication can return to the CDC, he or she must be checked by the Student Health Center
And submit a signed slip from Student Health stating that he or she is well enough to return.
2. Sometimes children attending the Child Development Center require medication. In this care, it is crucial that the parent completes a medication form stating: What the medication is for, what time the medication needs to be given, and how much is to be given. This is so
Caregivers administer proper dosages at proper times. Center staff can only administer medication, which is provided.
3. Medication(s) must be brought every day until it is finished. Children who do not finish prescribed medication generally become ill again because they have not received all the medicine.
4. Over the counter medication is available at the Student Health Center (Tylenol, cold medicine, head lice shampoo, zinc oxide, etc.). An adult must request over the counter medication.
5. Asthma: For your child's safety, please contact the CDC Director if your child has asthma. CDC staff cannot administer breathing treatments.
It is vital that communication between you, the parent, and the Child Development Center staff remains open. As with all organizations, there are a
Certain few who choose not to cooperate with policy. When this is the case, the following disciplinary actions are taken:
1. The first blatant disregard for CDC policy constitutes a documented verbal warning.
2. The second infraction will be written memorandum form. Copies will be sent to Counseling, the Academic Dean, and any other departments deemed necessary.
3. Staffing with Parent Advisory (2 parents, 2 Staff, and Director/Co- Director).
4. The fourth infraction may result in suspension of services for 1 day or a hearing attended by a counselor, the Dean of Childhood Education, the center Director involved and other department representatives who may be involved to discuss a plan to rectify any concerns.
Parents arriving after the center closes will be subject to the following in order of occurrence:
1. Verbal & Written Warning 2. Verbal & Written Warning 3. Verbal & Written Warning
4. Referral to Director, Dean of Early Childhood, Dean of Student Support
5. Denial of Services (next service day)
The CDC staff will do everything possible to meet the needs of you and your children. However, in the event of a concern or complaint, please follow the chain of command.
1. The complaint must be first discussed with the Center Co Director.
2. If it cannot be resolved at that point, the next step is to contact the CDC Director.
3. If satisfaction were still not reached, contacting the Dean of Childhood Education (ext. 1305) would be the next recourse.
4. The last step in the chain of command is the Executive Committee, which consists of five Deans and the UTTC President. Please follow this chain of command. Most issues can be resolved at either the first or second step. Thank You!
