Discipline Policy

No child shall be subject to physical punishment, corporal punishment, verbal abuse or threats.  Cruel, severe, unusual or unnecessary reasons, we use the "Time-out Chair" and he/she will never be out of sight of a staff member.

No child shall be deprived of meals or any part of meals for disciplinary reasons.

Reports of mistreatment of children, coming to the attention of the Department of Social Services will be investigated.  If you encounter a problem at Nanny's please consult with the Director.  If you feel the problem has not been resolved, you are to call the Licensing Department at 504-922-0015.

Any suspected abuse and/or neglect of a child must be reported in accordance with LA Revised Statute 14:403 to the local Child Protection Agency.

Corporal punishment, which is defined as "the infliction of pain", upon a child of any age, is prohibited at Nanny's.

Accident Policy

Any time a child has an accident at Nanny's, the staff member in charge of that child will assess the situation and determine the appropriate action.   An accident report will be filled out by the staff member in charge, with an additional staff member's signature on the report verifying the information to be correct.

Fire Drill Policy

The State of Louisiana requires that all Child Care Centers hold monthly fire drills.  These drills are held at unannounced times.  A report on the fire drill is filed in the center's office.
