Your Privacy

There are certain records we must keep about your child. For example, Colorado law requires that every child entering a program have proof of immunization upon enrollment. Physical records, signed by a physician and updated yearly or upon the request of the Director are kept. Written documentation of allergies or physical limitations must also be provided at registration. We also provide developmental Progress Reports to parents on a periodic basis. The records we keep on your family are confidential. Information in files is not shared with others without written permission from a parent or guardian. Some authorized officials have the right to review files to assure that regulations are being met. As a parent, your file is available for you to look at any time by contacting the Center Director.

Child Abuse- Mandatory Reporting

In compliance with the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Childcare, the Center staff is mandated to report all cases of suspected abuse (physical, emotional or sexual) or neglect. The following situations would require a report by the staff:

• Unexplained marks or bruises on a child or marks that seem unlikely to have occurred as explained.
• Marks or bruises on a child that were caused by physical punishment.
• Reports by the child of abusive or neglectful treatment.
• Observation by the staff of verbal or physical abuse, or neglectful treatment.
• Failure by parents to obtain appropriate medical care for their child.

It is our intent to work with and support families in all areas. Please let us know how we can help you.
