Medication at Preschool

Good afternoon all!

Hope that you are all well!

Please take note of the following IMPORTANT information regarding medication being administered at school:

If your child is on a course of antibiotics / medication and after 2 days at home returns to school, you as the parent / guardian need to administer the medication yourself before bringing your little one to school in the morning. Breakfast would then be eaten at home and not at school, should the medication need to be given after food.  Usually the antibiotic dosage is once / twice a day, morning or morning and evening.

This way, you as the parent / guardian of your child, know that the correct dosage has been administered by yourself to your child, and the responsibility to administer medication has not been given over to someone else.

We will not administer any medication at school, except in the instance where a child has developed a temperature during the school day, and the parent / guardian has been contacted to fetch their little one, and in the interim has given a verbal instruction / confirmed in a text message or e mail, for us to administer a certain dosage of Calpol / Panado / or in the case where a child is ill and the school has not been able to contact either of the parents / guardian. These 2 instances form a part of the Consent and Indemnity Declaration between Baby Blessings Preschool and the parent / guardian and have been signed for by the parent / guardian.

Should you wish to discuss this matter with either Anne or Benita, we are always available.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Have a lovely weekend,

Kind Regards

Anne & Chantal
