Flu Season is Coming!
As flu season is approaching, the first policy we would like to highlight Little Eagles Academy's Illness Policy.
According to NC Division of Child Development and Early Education in conjunction with the Health Department regulations, children will not be allowed to attend the center if they exhibit the following symptoms. Please make arrangements to keep your child home if they have a(n):
· Fahrenheit temperature of 101 degrees or over, until 24 hours fever free.
· Respiratory Synctyial Virus (RSV), until 3 days after diagnosis.

· When a physician or other health professional issues a written order that the child be separated from other children.
Children must be fever free and/or symptom free without the use of medication for 24 hours before returning to child care.
No child shall be permitted to attend if there is evidence of an infectious or contagious illness. Refer to Appendix A from Caring for Our Children for description of these illnesses and their recommended period of separation from other children.

Here are some basic guidelines that we follow at the Little Eagles Academy. We have set-up these rules to ensure that our day flows as smoothly as possible.
1) Morning snack is served at 8:30 am and is over by 9:00 am. If you wish for your child to eat, then he/she needs to be in the classroom by 8:15 am.
2) Daily attendance and lunch counts are taken at 9:00 am. If you are going to arrive later than 9:00 am, you must call by 9:00 am and let us know in order for your child to be counted for lunch or you will need to provide a lunch for them. We wish for all children to be in the classroom by 10:00 am. We enjoy a very structured, planned schedule and in order for your child to receive the benefits of group play, circle time, art and all other themed activities, he/she needs to be at school by 10:00 am.
Thank you for your corporation in these matters. We wish to keep all of our little ones well and happy here at the Little Eagles Academy.
