Nutrition
I understand that children need the fuel to drive their imaginations! I have commissioned RN Leanne Phillipson-Webb the author of Sprout Right, to develop a meal plan that is healthy, nutritious and safe for all the children in my environment. I serve a morning and afternoon snack and a substantial lunch with seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Due to my children's life threatening food allergies, my house is free of Nuts, Green Peas, All Legumes (beans) and Sesame.
Note: Additional information is provided in the enrollment package.
Health and Safety
I regularly update my First Aid CPR certification along with my Driver's Abstract, Police and Vulnerable Sector clearance. I have also acquired my certification in Food Handling from the Government on Ontario, and have completed training in Sexual Assault & Violence Intervention and Car Seat Safety Training. I have also completed a full home Fire Inspection from the town of Oakville.
My home is equipped with an automated self-locking front door, safety gates, fire extinguishers on every level and in the garage, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, child-safe electrical sockets and fire escape plans at the 2 main exit points.
