Clothes and Personal Belongings
Please label everything with your child’s name and leave a change of clothing with KazCan Daycare if required.
Children Experiencing Difficulties
If a child is experiencing difficulties at the KazCan Daycare, the staff will work in collaboration with parents in an attempt to resolve the situation. However if after repeated efforts the situation does not improve, the principal may suspend the child from the KazCan Daycare program.
School Closing
In the case of early school closings, the KazCan Daycare will also be closed.
Please note that once parents have been informed of the school closing, it is their responsibility to ensure that their child is picked up by the time the school closes or to make alternative arrangements.
Emergency
Parents are responsible for ensuring that KazCan Daycare has up to date names and telephone numbers of people who will be available should an emergency arise and parents cannot be reached .
Accidents
Parents will be notified at once. If we cannot get in touch with a parent, the emergency number will be called.
If an accident is severe and the Daycare feels that the child should receive immediate medical attention, an ambulance may be called. Should an ambulance be required, it will be the parents responsibility to defray the cost.
Parents should note that the only health and accident insurance which applies to students is the normal coverage under the Québec Health Insurance plan.
The School Board does not carry additional coverage for injuries or illness which occur in Daycare, and which could lead to ambulance transportation, dental care or any other expenses not covered by Québec Medicare. Parents should ensure that they carry coverage against these eventualities.

If a child requires medication:
- It must be prescribed by a doctor.
- The medication must be in its prescription bottle.
- Parents must bring the medication to the Daycare. A child cannot carry medication.
