__2 week termination notice is hereby given starting __________

__Probation period: Your child will be placed on a probation period starting____________

Explanation: I feel at this time that childcare is to stressful for your child. It is my hope that over the next two weeks your child will make the final adjustment. However, if not then it is recommended that you find a childcare with a smaller group, or provide a nanny for your child and try a group situation again in a few months when he/she is a little older and maybe emotionally ready for it.

Recommendation: The child will be on two weeks probation. If the situation does not change by the end of two weeks then at that time I will make a final evaluation. If necessary, I will either extend the probation period another week if the child is showing progress. If no progress has been made then I give the standard termination notice at that time so you have time to find adequate childcare. It is my hope that your child will make progress over the next couple of weeks.

Potty Training… Is your child ready?

1.Expresses interest in coming into the bathroom with you to find out what goes on
there and perhaps even sits on the toilet him/herself.

2.Understands what the toilet is for and what it means to have a wet or dirty diaper.
If he/she shows a preference for being clean and dry, fussing when wet, pulling off
a dirty diaper, or asking to be changed; all the better.

3.Knows the words for urinating and having a bowel movement
(such as “going potty” or whatever words your family chooses.)

4.Can stay dry for at least two hours at a time.

5.Has regular bowel movements with soft, formed stools

6.Can and will follow simple directions, such as those for
washing hands.

7.Can help pull pants up and down

8.Seems to recognize at least a few seconds ahead of time that
he/she’s about to go, and can tell you before it happens.
(Many youngsters will squat, leave the room, or get “the look”
before having a bowel movement.)

9.Is in a willing, receptive mood and isn’t going through any
major transitions (like adjusting to a new sibling or school.)

10.Demonstrates a desire for independence
(for example, wants to be a “big girl/boy” and do things for herself)
-or, better yet, shows a specific desire to use the toilet like mommy and daddy do!

If your child meets most of these criteria, he/she’s ready to try.
If not, wait a month or two and reevaluate.

Potty training should begin at home over a long weekend or holiday.
Once you have had success at home for at least a week, your child
may begin wearing pull-ups. You must still provide me with at least
2 complete changes of clothing for your child.
Under no circumstances will your child be allowed to potty train in
regular underwear. This is for sanitary reasons! Regular underwear
cannot contain urine and feces to prevent the spread of germs in my
home and to other children in care and to my family.
Please cooperate with me on this matter.

Also, if you begin training, please notify me so that I can continue
with all the work you have accomplished. Further, if within 2-3 weeks,
your child shows no signs of progress, I reserve the right to put your
child back in diapers and try again in a few weeks.

Parent has read and agreed to the Toilet training policies.
