to the center. We shall not be liable for any loss of these items. Also prohibited, are such items as toy knives,
cosmetics, video games, and iPods.  You are encouraged to label your child's school bag, water bottle, nappies (where relevant) and other belongings for the purpose of identification.

Other than pictures of the children, parents also need to note that children? s work samples are also used for documentation, observation and media purposes. These shall be kept private and confidential in our intellectual property library for official use.

                                  BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Birthday celebrations can be made via appointment and informed at least a week in advance so programme schedule can be adjusted accordingly. One family representative will need to sign in for a visitor„s pass, and
a total of 2 adults and 1 child will be allowed in class only, over a maximum duration of 20 minutes for the celebration. Please provide your own serviettes, paper plates and forks for the celebration. As we encourage kids to perform their fast, we are unable to allow birthday celebrations to take place in our premises
throughout the fasting month.

ISSUE RESOLUTION

Parents should attempt to resolve any arising issue through amicable dialogue and discussions with the teacher involved and the centre head. If you are unable to resolve the issue in this manner, you may submit a formal complaint to the centre management so that the matter can be addressed accordingly. Displays of aggression or hostility are not appropriate.

HEALTH , HYGIENE & CHILDHOOD ILLNESSES 

HEALTH STATUS OF CHILD 

Before being enrolled at the centre, each child should have received the appropriate immunizations for his / her age. It is the responsibility of parents to declare the health status of the child to the centre during enrollment.

HEALTH GUIDELINES BY MOH 

We are required to adhere to the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) 'Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases in Kindergarten and Child Care Centres' at all times. We are not equipped to provide care for sick children. You will be informed immediately to fetch your child should they fall ill during school / care hours. A sick child will be immediately isolated from other children until the arrival of his / her parent / guardian.

HYGIENE PRACTICES 

Here at Precious Kidz School, health check is conducted daily upon the child’s arrival. The child is also supervised with the use of hand sanitizer at our health check station. Staff members are trained to recognize the common signs of communicable diseases and in hand washing and disinfection procedures.
A comprehensive cleaning procedure has been put in place to ensure that teaching materials, toys, mattresses, diaper area and toilets etc are cleaned and sanitized daily and weekly.

ACCIDENTS, INJURY & MEDICAL EMERGENCIES

We take every precaution we can to see that your child do not get hurt at the centre. However, preschoolers may not always display good judgment and look where they are going. As such, accident with children may just happen despite all efforts to prevent it. In case of emergency / accident, our staff will first attend to the injured child by administering First Aid, summon emergency transportation to the nearest clinic / hospital, notify the parent and complete an incident report.
Each of our centres has a team of teachers who are first-aid certified and are trained to attend to minor injuries such as scrapes and small cuts. That said, parents can be rest assured our staff will put the children's safety first at all times, and that all our centres have proper procedures for ensuring this. Expenses incurred under such a situation will be borne by the child's family.
While we will exercise all necessary care and precaution while the children are in the centre?s care, we will not be held responsible for any mishaps, personal injuries and / or accidents and that parents will indemnify the centre against any such claims, lawsuits and damages.

SHOWER 

Children are supervised during shower time. The younger children are showered by their teachers whilst Kindergarten children shower on their own with assistance and guidance from their teachers. Boys and girls are showered separately. For children with sensitive skin, do bring in your own bath and hair shampoo. Remember to label your items.

TOILET TRAINING 

Toilet training is an important milestone in a child?s life. If children are not yet toilet trained, we recommend starting it after your child  has settled in the centre. As consistency is the key to successful toilet training, it should be a joint effort between home and school. It would thus be most effective for parents and teachers to discuss and establish an appropriate time to start.
