Medication Policy
Tot-Time will administer both prescription and non-prescription medications when
the following conditions are met:
- all medication must be in the original labeled container
- a doctor's note stating the dosage amount and duration medication must be administered
must accompany all prescription and non-prescription medication including Tylenol,
Advil, Benedryl, etc. This note can be faxed to the center.
- Daily written permission of custodial parent to administer medication.
Tot-Time will not administer any medication unless the above conditions are met.
Tot-Time will not purchase medication for children. If a fever develops during the course
of a day, we will contact a custodial parent to inform them of the situation and if the
parent has provided fever-reducing medication and signed the section of the Emergency Contact
form that allows administering minor First Aid we will administer the medication. Parents
can sign medication in on the Medication Log, which is found at or near the director's office
(this will be pointed out to you when you enroll your child). This Medication Log should be
filled out when the child arrives each morning. All medication must be given to the director
and in her absence, the assistant director. Do not give medication to the classroom teacher
or leave it in your child's bag.
